Node.io was a sales intelligence platform, providing access to correlative insights and "cloned" ideal customers built upon Node's database of companies and individuals, acted upon by AI. Node.io was acquired by SugarCRM August 2020, to bolster the company's CX capabilities and predictive insights. Node.io is no longer available standalone.

Terapeak is a market research and intelligence tool with a particular emphasis on sales data to assist ecommerce vendors in decisioning. Terapeak was acquired by eBay in December 2017, and the company claims that it plans to integrate it into its Seller Hub suite of software.
Earlier this week, we had a mishap where a client's birth certificate went missing while being transferred between departments. This could have been disastrous for both our employees and the client, but Sugar allowed for quick detective work that let us track the document's passage between specific employees, and the item was located and returned!
Terapeak makes sense for people looking to sell a lot of items or resellers. It does not make sense for people selling one-off items or individuals looking to simply spring clean. It is great for determining pricing, what to start auctions at, and figuring out a shipping/returns strategy (whether or not to offer free shipping, have the buyer pay shipping, and if you should have returns allowed.) I would not recommend it if you just want to move the item out of your house or if you do not care what price an item sells for.
I wish I could use Terapeak outside of eBay. Why can't I use it with other platforms like Mercari, Poshmark, etc.?
I don't like that I have to pay for this feature. Other selling platforms provide their sold information free of charge.
It feels antiquated. I need to click through many menus and tabs to price items. I wish it would automatically move me through the pages, instead of making me fill out the information, then hit "next" or "enter."
Node excels when it comes to lead intelligence like account-level and market insights. Its lead management module gives better segmentation and account identification. It is a good choice for mid-size companies (50-1000 employees) and their quality of support is very satisfactory. Its searchable data gives accurate results and its ease of integration with Salesforce is an added advantage over its competitors.
Terapeak can't be beaten for selling on eBay, because it is part and parcel with eBay. For comparable listings on other sites, I prefer Sellhound and Jungle Scout. I find that Webgility and Price2Spy are more helpful for SEO and getting to the top of Google's search results. I feel that I get more eyes on my products using other services when I am not specifically selling through eBay. But on eBay, Terapeak is the only service I will use.
Our company has increased profits 20% from last year after implementing Sugar
Our transfer to largely remote work has been hugely simplified by Sugar
Despite an industry-wide "pandemic slump", the ease of use brought by Sugar has allowed us to remain a major player in tax assistance even as other companies have struggled
We have saved time by using Terapeak for pricing. We did not price our items up too much but made them competitive with the market.
We made more money using Terapeak than we would have without it because we did not under-price items. Terapeak gave accurate comparable sold listings.
One negative impact was simply the cost. It was about $20/month and was set up to auto-renew. We forgot to cancel our membership and accidentally paid for a service we weren't using.
