Overall Satisfaction with TrustRadius for Buyers
Was scouting for a new tool to help us track user behaviour on our website. I needed to get a quick understanding of others' experience with a different tool in order to make a short list for trial. For this purpose I believe that the site was very helpful. Through TrustRadius I managed to narrow it down to two options and will do testing based on this. I was the ultimate decision maker.
- To understand my options (i.e. build my short list or long list)
- To compare products
I had a long list of different software and managed to narrow down the list to only two options. It helped me to get a quick overview of what other users where thinking about it. I would say that TrustRadius is a great way to narrow down between options and to compare products.
I mainly look for what is negative in the reviews. All the positive things that are mentioned are already highlighted by the company website. Of course, I also read the positive parts but what is not working and the limitations of a product or service is for me most important.
Very positive [impact on my experience during the buying process]. I think reviews and recommendations when buying new products is by far the best option.
- Clarity on the website with the + and - points did lead to a very easy navigation.
- That the users had put in a lot of time and effort into the reviews which made them trustworthy.
- Amount of reviews - it will be a biased case if there are only 2-3 reviews for a product.
- I have never heard of TrustRadius before - perhaps be more visible online (not sure how you currently make money but) in some way featured.
- In some cases you could have an expert panel that could go in and make additional comments etc.
- Possibility to vote for the helpfulness of review so that the user can see what reviews are being helpful (like Amazon or Google does with Q&A).
- Just an idea - you could start doing video reviews?
I, of course, start with googling and then reading different blogs about the topic and products. Also in this process I am asking around colleagues etc. for what they think. Based on the combination of these two I narrow down to get reviews from YouTube or sites like TrustRadius.
I think the experience was good simply because I could easily find what I was looking for which should be the main purpose of using a service. Other review sites are quite similar, I liked that I could see the position of the person that had made the rating. It provided me with additional security.
