Vortal’s competitors have been identified

using a quick empirical search on the Web.

Functionalities have been identified by

consulting the website or their archive.

While some existing content or functionalities are to be

found in other tools, some remain unique to the Vortal.

Further research would be needed to evaluate the preferred

tool(s) and functionalities of people with interest in HTA.

Cooperation could be further considered.

The Vortal presents content and functionalities similar to other tools, but scope

and detailing level is different. Also, the Vortal often provides a better integration

resulting in more efficiency.

The Vortal is the only Web platform to offer a service of publication of custom

bibliographies to the different HTAi Interest Sub Groups.
