Overall Satisfaction with TrustRadius for Vendors

  • Review Acceleration Program
  • TrustQuotes Library

Marketing and Product Management use the portal extensively to mine quotes, references, and pipeline (new customer views).
  • Easy to navigate
  • Like the fact that each review is vetted for accuracy, spam etc.
  • Browser Support!!! Does not work on Chrome
  • UI looks like it needs a refresh
  • Increase brand awareness
  • Manage brand reputation
  • Scale customer proof through reviews
  • Identify candidates for case studies & advocacy
  • Reduce or supplement reference requests
  • Increase landing page conversion
  • Create sales enablement content
  • Improve sales efficiency
  • Gather product insights
  • Identify & address customer issues
The products that I manage have had a lukewarm response (ie, we gathered fewer reviews then we originally planned but it is slowly improving). However, the feedback has been useful to understand the pain points and re-engage to ensure customer success.
Customer feedback, references:
I had an annual goal to ensure we could line up Customer References who can talk to Analysts and talk at the TIBCO Now conference. 2 years back we were sort scrambling to get references that were willing to talk. TrustRadius has been very valuable in that regard.
Since the reviews are detailed, it is helpful to navigate the specific pain points. In a few cases the review indicated the Customer was not up to date with the Product Enhancement and gave PMs/Account Teams the opportunity to re-engage with the customer
Well suited while establishing/reestablishing a brand. Always good to hear unbiased feedback - good, bad, and ugly from customers.

TrustRadius for Vendors Support

I submitted an issue about the linked login not working on Chrome ..And it still does not work!
Yes - No. Chrome browser login in still buggy
The setup of the product page with emphasis on what I wanted customers to rate was done well. It was nice to know a person was spending the time to listen to what I had to say as against to me duplicating the product page

Amazing engagement from Sales Rep
