    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.

    Our initial contract with Wildfire Whitelabel was for $30,000/year, as we progressed we found several alternatives for significantly less. We used this to our advantage to lower the second year to $17,000 with the limitation in the level of support (they call this their "core" subscription). Support has been quite bad.

    During our contract, we also asked for quotes on some custom work, but never managed to get an answer (or actual quote). Now two years into our contract, the limitations and lack of development are enough for us to find a different solution. Newcomers to the market like Rafflecopter, WooBox and PunchTab are delivering much better results for a fraction of the price

    Gave me a thorough rundown on everything the software does. Sometimes it is difficult to run through it all over the phone/internet, but I was able to figure it out myself.

    Simple to use and very effective in increasing user engagement on both social channels and website. Noticeably helped raise TOS.

    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

    Wildfire was a merely an adequate social media tool when it existed as a standalone, but it just couldn't compete against other players like Sprout, Falcon, and Sprinklr.

    • As with any social media management tool, there is a savings on labor hours (rather than doing the manual work)
    • Aggregating all content into one system creates efficiencies for content teams
