Crunchbase vs. G2 Seller Solutions

Looking to create lists of target companies through the advanced search feature or the query builder if one is planning to reach out to the individuals listed in the profile. Looking for investment and company history information to inform sourcing or competitive landscape research.

G2 Seller Solutions is very good at providing vendors with a review platform with all the basic capabilities you could need where you can impact large audiences that can generate a good volume of visits to your product pages. Thanks to this, you can get reviews and intent data from those visitors that can be used in many different ways. But have to work hard to succeed, so if you have a review program in place with a dedicated team, it is ideal for you; but if you don't have the bandwidth to invest time in this, you will probably get all the potential from this platform.

• Crunchbase has an easy-to-navigate user interface. The bar at the top of the screen that shows the different data points available on companies is particularly helpful for quick navigating.
• The ability to make and import lists and save searches is helpful for customizing the software to your particular needs.
• The web and mobile app data that Crunchbase offers is very helpful to gauge trends and interest in companies for diligence purposes.

• Notifications - Something similar to TweetDeck would be nice, so that when news breaks it could be an immediate fact.
• Honestly dont add too much because you don't want it to become more of a social tool with cluttered info, keep it straight to the point.

• Facilitate the discussion between vendors and users
• More options in widgets to share our quotes

They give standard answers. They are not a customer first business. I tried to cancel my subscription after using it for only 1 week as we found the information was outdated and not at all useful. But they would not cancel the year long subscription I mistakenly signed up for

Support is amazing, their support team is always ready to help and on top of that they resolve any issues very quickly. I really like their employees as they are all very knowledgeable, providing us feedback on areas we can improve on, and very attentive and responsive. The turnaround for any request is relative very quick too which is great for any business

Crunchbase is definitely bottom of the barrel in this space. At similar pricing models, all competitors I have tried have significantly bigger and more updated databases. Crunchbase may have been great sometime in the past, but they are not worth engaging now.

Both platforms are broadly alike and offer very similar capabilities. In my opinion, TrustRadius is optimized for the review process: getting new reviews, checking on them, classifying the quotes, opening discussions with our users, and providing them feedback. In comparison, G2 Seller Solutions focuses on providing vendors with benchmark information, more actionable intent data, and resources to take advantage of awards and grids.

• Crunchbase has been great and given us a lot of new companies to go after that have received funding and turned into great meetings. We do not pay a ton, so the ROI is great.
• We have nothing but positive results using Crunchbase and rely on it heavily for prospecting.
• It might add more value if we get a more expensive or advanced version.
