Likelihood to Recommend SourceForge (Slashdot Media)
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.

Read full review Pros SourceForge (Slashdot Media)
Commercial software and FOSS projects are available. FOSS projects have advanced profiles such as software hosting for download as well as download metrics. As well as the released versions. Commercial software profiles show detailed features, what it offers, price, frequently asked questions and a vast amount of user reviews.

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. Read full review The system stability could be improved. Often we get file corrupted errors. The User Interface is not modern and not user-friendly. Concurrent check-outs could be added, allowing more people to work on the same file at the same time. Add conflict resolution, files comparison, blame file, features that any modern source control program should have. Read full review Likelihood to Renew SourceForge (Slashdot Media)
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.
Read full review Usability SourceForge (Slashdot Media)
SourceForge offers so many features for a technology review platform. They have some really unique ones that let potential new customers search for your product in really personalized and innovative ways. When you first load the edit screen, it may be a bit overwhelming at first because there are so many customizable fields, but their documentation and support is good and each field provides a ton of value.
Read full review The current status of Visual SourceSafe is not usable. There are many things that are just so out of the date that it should be retired and not looked at any longer. If you have an existing application that is stored in it, I'd consider migrating it to a modern tool.
Read full review Reliability and Availability SourceForge (Slashdot Media)
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.
Read full review Support Rating SourceForge (Slashdot Media)
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.
Read full review It's a Microsoft product so the customer support is great. The program has been around a long time so there are plenty of places on line to get assistance. Also almost any development shop you go to will have at least one developer who has used this product extensively in their career.

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.

Easy to setup, we just needed to update our page and send them UTM tracking links. Most of the effort came with setting up our follow up process for our sales team.
Read full review Alternatives Considered SourceForge (Slashdot Media)
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.
Read full review Return on Investment SourceForge (Slashdot Media)
It allowed us to learn more about the features and functions of some software that we currently use. It allowed me to improve my decision-making for the software we use in the project area. It helped us to replace several programs that were used in our company. We made several replacements, for much more optimal alternatives. Read full review When we started using it, it allowed us to do source code versioning and store the code in a centralized location and not locally. We are using it for very few projects with few developers that still maintain those applications and do not have time to merge the source code to Git. Read full review ScreenShots
