Are spreadsheet checklists useful?

Are spreadsheet checklists useful?
Companies can be overwhelmed when looking for ERP, SCM or other business solutions. In order to facilitate and standardize their decision-making process, most companies build elaborate RFIs, with extensive spreadsheet-based checklists where different products are compared across potentially hundreds of attributes and factors. These processes tend to favor larger vendors and complex products and often produces an extremely homogeneous shortlist of "winners" with look-alike features and attributes.

In this situation, the question is are these methodslinks good enough for selecting business systems? or do we have to think of other ways for evaluation?
