Backstage vs. GoodRx for Healthcare Professionals vs. PitchBook

Backstage is well suited in building developer portal or developer platform. It can be easily customized as well, so different companies can use it based on their own situation. It currently focus more on frontend, but I can see there is already a roadmap for improving backend with some core modules. After that has been introduced, it will become really powerful and save developers time to solve common problems.

GoodRx is a great tool if you don't have insurance or your medications aren't covered. It offers deals on many, many different prescriptions and can help people save a significant amount of money without a lot of labor. Anyone who has computer/printer or phone/app access can utilize its features, so it's very accessible to the majority of people.

Less suited for run-of-the-mill information on clients(LinkedIn is great for that), however, it is great for tracking company information. I wouldn't go anywhere else. The breadth of information given to me is extremely helpful. Sometimes it can be a pain point to acknowledge that when I am researching older companies that have been merged, it is difficult to find information about them, leading me to look to sources like Wikipedia for even the most basic description.

• Knowing that many people, on some of these medicines, are elderly and would appreciate saving a couple of dollars, it would be nice to have a way to use GoodRX without a computer or phone.
• Submit/request button. If someone's medicine isn't included in the program, it may be helpful to have a way to monitor demand.
• A tool to help you measure how much you save each year would be neat to see.

• The price is insane. Most of their competitors are free, and those that aren't are less than 5% the price of PitchBook.
• The excel plugin is incredibly complicated and the formula builder function is awful. You cannot search easily to find formulas for things you don't already know (unless you ask support)
• The UI is old, and they are slow to innovate. They need to add in a new incredible feature in the next year or two or my firm might move on, as it's getting harder to justify the price when competitors get better every year (signalnfx!) and PitchBook doesn't.

I think its a great platform as is. Its usable and we get most of the information as and when we need. I don't like the landing page after login, so I don't like to go to PitchBook every day to review daily updates on the industry. It's way too cluttered and requires MFA every time

The overall support for PitchBook is about average. It is not excellent for two primary reasons. First, PitchBook can run slow from time to time, and I cannot copy and paste from the Chrome extension. I have found neither of those issues to be a function of the computer I am using. However, the PitchBook support team has proved helpful on several occasions.

I haven't ever heard of competitors of GoodRx, and I've never had a reason to look anywhere else. I've always had a good experience with GoodRx, no issues or questions from the pharmacies at all! Very convenient and it's nice to have a quick way to save a bit of money.

CB Insights have a better market research functionality, offering pre-defined market definitions and proprietary framework for market analysis. They list all the significant players within a market and classify them into categories, which gives you a sense of who is doing well in the market. Also, it has a nice AI functionality where you can ask for a quick summary.
