Overall Satisfaction with TrustRadius for Vendors
We're using TrustRadius to actively drive reviews and increase awareness of one of our eCommerce/Enterprise products. It's been a fantastic experience working with the TrustRadius team, and the reviews and customer feedback we've been receiving have made a positive impact to our marketing and sales, as well as providing valuable insight to our product management team.
Although we can't directly attribute revenue to TrustRadius, since there are no direct links from trustradius.com to our site or landing pages, our rapid pace up the review search results and growth in pageview share (from near zero to nearly 50% in about 6 months) has coincided with growth in our unattributed product revenue.

Pros
- Detailed product reviews, most are 300 words or more.
- Custom questions for prospects and us to learn more about how customers use the product and how it's benefitted them.
- Cons and insights from customers are excellent feedback for the product team on how to evolve the product.
- Easy to manage, tag, and filter reviews into usable quotes in the web widgets, as well as for us to use in our email marketing.
- Insights into large accounts researching our products and our competitors.
Cons
- Sometimes it's unclear what's part of our package vs. the next level of offering - instead of sending us to "talk to sales", a page or even popup that shows what's the next level would be nice to see without having to spend time on a sales call.
- There's a lot to learn during onboarding - tagging was very high level, a cheat sheet with tips would've been very helpful. I didn't realize until after tagging dozens of reviews that there was a better way for tagging for sorting and filtering, and I don't have time to go back and undo everything.
- There have been a few occasions where our web widgets would go blank and show no data, even though no changes were made to the code or to the widget filters.
- Increase of high quality customer reviews and feedback.
- We won a few TrustRadius awards including top 10 Most Loved and Best Customer Support, which was unexpected and is something we're all very proud of - boosted morale, especially in the middle of the pandemic.
- We don't have any way to directly attribute revenue impact, but based on TrustRadius reporting, we are significantly higher in impressions, page share, and awareness. Our revenues have also increased since we started our relationship with TrustRadius, so it's likely helping.
Overall the quality of reviews has been fantastic. Most average 300 words or more. Some come in very basic, around 150, but I can let our Account manager know, and it'll get sent back to the reviewer to add some more insights and substance to it.
We also get reviews on other platforms, but don't have the control that we do here, and the depth and quality of reviews isn't as solid in general.

Custom questions have been helpful. We ask our customers how our product compares with competitors and what makes our offering better. We also ask some simple customer satisfaction questions like if they're happy with the features, and would they buy again.
These are a combination of helping to sell our prospects, as well as us learning more about our customers, and if there's anything about the product that we can add to our roadmap that needs to be built or improved.

We were in discussions with G2 when TrustRadius popped up on the radar. The TrustRadius story and review quality was more compelling, and getting Enterprise intent data and product feedback sold us. We also looked at Capterra, and a couple smaller review providers, but they were more expensive and offered less.
