Evaluation stage

Explanation:

The evaluation stage of the product adoption process is when consumers balance all the pros (positive characteristics) of consuming one new product with cons (negative characteristics) of doing it. Consumers will finally decide to purchase new products only if the pros outweigh the cons.

The next step is the trial stage where customers test the new products and determine if they satisfy their needs or not.
