A feature comparison allows you to compare a number of different things against one another. Most often it is used to show how different consumers or companies react to various aspects of one's business or product.

Typical Uses

It is best used when you want to compare a large amount of people, each individually with a large amount of information. It provides you with a lot of very specific information.

Best Practices

• Determine a purpose. Decide what things you want to compare. If you have a name for the diagram, place it at the top.
• Create a table. Create a table with a row for each item that you want to compare the other items with. Then make a column for each item you wish to compare with the others. To make the best possible use of space you may consider using diagonal lines to label the items along the top of the diagram.
• Label each side. Place the names or short descriptions of each item in the spaces along the side and top.
• Fill in the diagram. Now all that is left for you to do is to place checks or whatever type of mark you choose in the boxes to record the information you desire.
