SourceForge is a B2B software discovery platform, featuring 4000+ categories in its comparison engine that potential buyers can use to compare software by user reviews, features, pricing, integrations, operating system, and deployment.
G2 has a larger commitment time upfront and for a more expensive rate, which wasn't the best option for our team as we were just exploring the resources that existed out there at the time. We preferred Sourceforge as well due to its subscription service, making it easier to …
We have experience with several of the software review sites, specifically Capterra and G2. It's pretty clear that these kinds of marketing channels are important when marketing software, and we also had success with Capterra. We chose not to go with G2 as their long-term and …

G2 lacks the open-source community like SourceForge and does not allow interaction between developers and customers, although both do a commendable job of listing useful business and open-source software along with their price comparisons and reviews.

SourceForge comes at par with TrustRadius, as both these platforms have a hugs user base. They are extremely reliable and dependable to base the purchase decisions. SourceForge ranks above G2 & Capterra, as it has detailed reviews. Most reviews on other platforms are arbitrary …
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.
I recommend SourceForge to anyone or business that needs both commercial and open source software. This platform has a wide variety of software with many categories that allow easy search for any project, in addition to the fact that searches can be done separately (commercial and open source software) so as not to have mixed results which go with different purpose. In addition to the fact that the community of this platform is quite active and that there are always times to discover new projects that can be useful for a company or individual person.
The overall design that SourceForge has really leaves a lot to be desired, although the entire platform works perfectly, I think that the design should be much more attractive.
There is currently no feature to save your progress on a review you are writing, so if you are writing a review and the browser is closed for some reason, all progress of the written review will be lost.
Souceforge was very straightforward and easy to manage. The leads worked for us so there is not a lot else to say about why I'd use it again. This isn't some complicated software product, it is a simple inbound marketing channel that is meant to generate leads and help us with brand awareness and it did exactly that.
SourceForge is super easy to use and very intuitive. And their support team and campaign managers help whenever we need it. Using SourceForge as a user is easy, and administrating a business software listing is easy as well. They also have great documentation.
We've never had any issues or downtime with SourceForge. Since we've been a user, the platform has never been down. Or at least never that I've noticed.
SourceForge loads extremely quickly whether you're using the front end or administrating your product listing on the back end. All pages are snappy to load--no issues with page speed whatsoever.
I hardly ever use the support on SourceForge, as I have not needed it. Their product works well for me. One time I had to email them and they got back to me the same day, but that's my only experience.
When we first signed up, they pair you with a campaign manager who trained us on how to use the product properly. The product is simple so the training was only about 30 minutes and after that we understood all the features and how to make the most of it. Most of the work came with making a custom landing page and building a follow up process for our sales team.
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
G2 has a larger commitment time upfront and for a more expensive rate, which wasn't the best option for our team as we were just exploring the resources that existed out there at the time. We preferred Sourceforge as well due to its subscription service, making it easier to commit from the start.
SourceForge has been plenty scalable for us. Our marketing department is able to edit listings and our executives can also log in to the platform if need be for leads and reporting information. SourceForge offers multiple user access and role permissions, so it's pretty scalable and easy to use for our entire team.
