Expenzing Supplier Portal vs. G2 Seller Solutions vs. Impact

Well suited in scenarios where customer does not have any tool in place and wants to digitize the buyer as well as supplier experience. Especially helpful in scenarios where you need a common portal for all their suppliers Less appropriate in scenarios where customer is digitally matured and is looking for advance AI/ML capabilities

G2 Seller Solutions provides us with valuable client insights through the reviews we generate. We use these reviews to establish our position in the market. It also helps to differentiate us against our competitors. We can use the reviews and reports to help solidify our positions or even validate some of the claims we make. Our sales team can use this to help during their sales process as well. That helps them provide third-party validation.

Any publisher looking to monetize their blogs would be a great fit. The size of the publisher probably doesn't matter. They have a wide selection of advertisers and publishers can sign up for free. Advertisers that are looking for great partners for their affiliate programs would be good fits. One of the benefits is that Impact really focuses on recruiting high-quality publishers.

Impact has had a major impact on our business. It is pretty easy to use if you don't have multiple accounts with them, so be sure you keep things streamlined. Otherwise, it can be confusing if you have to bounce between different accounts you've applied to. While they are managed under a single login, they can be difficult to distinguish between when trying to see how successful your campaigns are.

We've been reaching out requesting support for two months and no one has responded. They completely ghosted us. We've emailed the original sales rep, our account manager, our sales rep and account manager's bosses, and others. Still no response, though I can see the emails have been opened multiple times. I've never experienced worse support.

Expenzing Supplier Portal has a very lucrative pricing model and is essential for companies that are not completely matured in their digital procurement journey. Although I was not directly involved in the selection of this portal, what I really like about this tool is support provided to my suppliers and suppliers can complete all their sourcing and procurement activities from one single portal.

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.
