Overall Satisfaction with TrustRadius for Buyers
We knew that we wanted one of the products in the R suite, so the decision really came down to which specific product we wanted. We considered R StudioCloud and the ShinyApps.io products. We knew that we needed an enterprise solution that we could integrate with our internal datasets and DBs, and a solution that was able to integrate to our AD for secure access.
As I've described in my review of the product itself, we wanted to allow our analysts the ability to work in a sandbox that allows them to quickly create and collaborate on applications without the need to rely on a traditional Development team. This would help them incubate ideas and get them in front of internal users faster than before. That way, they could test the water before deciding to industrialize the app and potentially make it available externally. Around five people were involved in the review of the products, and it took around three months to make a decision.

The comments on the TrustRadius site felt more like they were provided by real people who were sharing their actual experience, which made me consider the points raised more deeply. Many of the features are comparable though between competitors. Not much else to add here, I'm afraid.
Certainly, the Gartner magic quadrant reports are a very good benchmark to see where the industry is heading and which products are "hot" at the moment and worth investigating. It is not ideal that it is a paid service, but it is a service that you have to have, or you are left out. It'd be useful for TrustRadius to reference the magic quadrant when researching products.
We look for many different things. Typically it'd be the age of the product, how regularly releases happen, the size of the development team, and what investments are being made. From a tech point of view, what is the documentation like? Are there APIs available? Do they publish where data is held? In which region is this configurable? Are there any negative industries that a company works with/benefits from/is owned by?
