Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.

Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

“I love how everything is all connected all the way from the speaker experience to the attendee registration so that way when you get to building the website and mobile app everything is done for you!”

Cons

“At times, editing information can be time consuming because it requires navigating through multiple pages and clicks to make simple updates.”

Kayla S.

Event Manager

“Additionally, I'd like to see some upgraded features when it comes to the email confirmation side - I can never truly see what my attendees are seeing unless I actually submit test registrations myself.”

Allison B.

Corporate Events Specialist

“Customer support for setting up your registration is not as good and I wish they would help walk you through what exactly it should look like, but I believe it's an extra paid service.”

Francis B.

Cons

“The convenient fees while processing credit cards are the only complaints we get.”

Miriam D.

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

“It's not the most intuitive or attractive platform for first-time users on the backend.”

Elle W.

Operations Coordinator

“The options were confusing when registering.”
