Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I've always found TrustRadius for Buyers very helpful when looking for enterprise software, hardware, and other tools, as well as gaining insights into how people genuinely find it in practice.

For instance, we might be looking to reduce our Adobe licensing fees, so TrustRadius for Buyers helps me find and evaluate comparable products. Or, we may be commencing exploration for a new ERP. Again, TrustRadius for Buyers helps identify suitable products and gain insight into how companies of a similar scale and industry find the product, along with any tips or tricks, such as their experiences with resellers vs. dealing direct, and so on. Or, we might be considering a new SAN, and TrustRadius for Buyers helps me find questions to ask the vendor - things I wouldn't have thought of by myself.
