Overall Satisfaction with SourceForge
I frequently use this platform to implement software that requires meeting my business and commercial needs. With this platform I have been able to save a lot of time in easily locating software that meets and adapts to what I need. When I need to implement a solution within a specific job, SourceForge is one of the first places I consult for the software that I need to implement within of my company or work space. In addition, thanks to the active community I have been able to facilitate the search for software when it does not have so many opinions left by users who have used a software, the latter being more useful because I get recommendations for alternatives that may work better for me.
- It has a control system over the files that are uploaded to this platform, I can access any version of software, thus being able to make sure that I use the most stable version.
- The forum is very active, many doubts can be resolved within this section, thus being able to interact with other users and developers of the projects hosted within this platform.
- I have great confidence in the review system of the software that is hosted within this platform, especially open source projects, thus giving me greater confidence and security when downloading software from a project.
- The download speeds of the software hosted on this platform have seemed very fast to me, in addition to the fact that I have not found another similar platform that allows hosting software as well as being able to leave a comment. Just all in one.
- It is not easy to have direct contact with the developers of this platform, the response time is quite slow.
- The interface is very outdated, not intuitive at all, impractical to be able to compare different platforms with each other.
- There are projects that are very abandoned and some commercial software does not have enough reviews to be able to consider a software based on comments, they should better promote users to be able to leave organic comments.
- Easy to discover any software from any category for any industry.
- It provides a space for developers where both commercial and open source software can be easily hosted and distributed.
- Anyone can give their experience of any software they have used before or are currently using, the form to leave a software review is very simple and easy to use.
- I have saved a lot of time looking for software for specific tasks within my company since I have been able to compare the different software alternatives that I have needed.
- With the help of the opinions left by different users, I have been able to make the best decisions about which software is best for me for a certain job, in addition to the rating system being a support for me because it allowed me to evaluate a software more quickly.
- In addition, I have been able to learn from the experience of other users by being able to know negative aspects of each software that I have investigated within this platform, thus being able to know what challenges I was going to face when making a final decision about which software to choose.
