G2 for Buyers vs. TrustRadius for Vendors

As TrustRadius is, G2 does its job: you get real people feedback and reviews from the trenches for the software you want to discover. That's very useful when you have to make software purchase decisions and real-life trial is not possible.

The level of support we've gotten from TrustRadius is where it earns an 8. I do think the badges are too easy to earn and there are so many categories that they lose a bit of weight when everyone has them. It would also be very nice if there were more information regarding ratings & reviews and how they are weighted toward the overall rating.

• review page has got too much information so you can easily get lost
• no dark mode in the site

• Due to TrustRadius reviews being a bit lengthy, I think it can hinder response volume.
• While not a major issue, it would be nice to have a TrustRadius Slack/chat integration where I could quickly reach my reps. That being said, my reps already have a great response time!
• It would be nice if I could run a report on how my company's competitors are performing on TrustRadius for Vendors.

We definitely see the value in peer review platforms like TrustRadius. Being able to hear from our customers and partners and share that information across the organization is very important to WatchGuard. I really see working with TrustRadius as a partnership that has been beneficial for both organizations and is continuing to prove very successful

It was easy to integrate, pull data and reports from, and really easy to customize the design to fit the branding of our site. I found it easy to show other team members how to use. Our whole team was able to get around the system to fit their different needs

Many of our ongoing comms have been automated or moved to an office-hours model, so we don't get much support from our accounts team. In comparison, there are other review vendors we work with with whom we are much more likely to expand, given their ongoing support and the insights they share. Overall, I feel the customer support team should be more hands-on and strategic, as there could be opportunities to upsell and expand with customers who are being missed.

My only key insight is to make sure that you remember the TrustRadius team is your partner, not your enemy! They are there to help ensure the success within your organization and will do everything they can to help you meet your goals.

I think TrustRadius does the job better than G2. I use G2 as a complement to TrustRadius. TR covers a wider range of software, with a more user-friendly interface. both sites have trustworthy reviews written by real people, and not by vendors

We are also working with G2 and I consider the platforms complementing each other. With TrustRadius for Vendors we collect complex review content reflecting attribute ratings of our products, different use cases and deployments our clients experiment, reviewers sentiments. Using quotes tagging and Chrome Extension feature we can map the most relevant reviews to the right audience, messaging or industry. The vendor portal has multiple selections available, for me it is very important to be able to check only with a click the number of ratings or the number of reviews for different date range or to check if my product is qualified for next awards.

• it helped us to get a more precise idea about the issues we could encounter while using the softwares we need
• it helped us to compare vendor's speech with real life usage

• We can't necessarily track ROI on this, but TrustRadius for Vendors has definitely influenced many buyers at some point in their purchasing journey.
• Webhooks would help us track some of the above & when we get them set up, I'm sure we'll see many new leads coming in.
• We just signed on for Buyer Intent, so we will be able to speak on this later on.
