Overall Satisfaction with TrustRadius for Buyers

I'm looking for an appropriate BI tool that could help us in the consolidation and analysis of the information obtained from various data sources.
  • To understand my options (i.e. build my short list or long list)
  • To compare products
  • To determine what to ask a vendor
  • To validate vendor claims
  • To confirm my decision
  • To find evidence to support my recommendation to colleagues or my client
  • To see what other users think of the product I am currently using
Others' opinions and experiences helped me to improve my understanding of BI tools available, allowing me to narrow my search.
The most detailed and insightful reviews are greatly appreciated. I particularly find reviews that include several standpoints about one alternative useful.
Normally it is very difficult to obtain insights from people working in different sectors. There is often consensus regarding the usefulness of a tool in certain situations, which leads to better decision making. The reviews allowed me to discard several BI tools I initially considered.
  • Amount of reviewers.
  • Knowing the identity of the reviewer.
  • Reviewers are not paid by the software provider.
  • Some products are shown as related or in competition while they are not.
I haven't checked other online sources. Colleagues are normally my to-go sources.
Read several reviews, don't stick to the first opinion you see.
