GetApp offers objective, independent research and verified user reviews. We may earn a referral fee when you visit a vendor through our links.
Our commitment
Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
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.
How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

“She took the time to walk us through the entire setup process for our property listings and made sure everything was connected properly across all major booking platforms, including Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com.”
HH
Hans H.
Owner
“It helps prevent double bookings, keeps calendars updated automatically, and simplifies the entire management process.”
HH
Hans H.
Owner
“Unlike many other platforms that provide instant access, Hostaway requires you to move through several stages: an initial call with a sales representative, signing the paperwork, and then scheduling onboarding sessions. Because each step involves booking time with different teams, the full process took about two weeks.”
PS
Philip S.
Partner
Pros
“Good, I do believe however, there is some fine tuning to do with regards to semper and Knightsbridge links as we are experiencing a lot of over bookings which comes through from Knightsbridge and does not allow us to accommodate the Guests on the Semper calendar.”
RK
Richard K.
Assistant General Manager
“This makes it easier for me to track what is happening at my properties and pull any report I want.”
TR
Thabang R.
Operations Manager
“e.g. monthly focus communication to allow for more continous indirect training and learnings”
SB
Shaah B.
Director
Cons
“There were some integration issues with our current online booking platform that created some discrepancies which was troubling, although their tech support was quick in responding to the issue.”
Robin S.
Owner
“Some clunky features, some info not clear on what exports to which fields in the platforms, and some api limitations”
PH
Peter H.
Owner
“During our initial implementation, the system was not configured correctly, which caused availability to be displayed when the homes were actually unavailable.”
AH
Ashley H.
Property Manager
Cons
“Only issue for us is the first recipe of recipe within a recipe is that it creates units instead of also volume or weight, so can't create bulk stuff”
AH
Achmat H.
Director
“I miss the ability to be able to log into the system remotely via an app in order to perform functions that are not permitted by on-site staff. ”
GP
Gerrit P.
Director
“Most reports do not have totals When you enter goods recieved - you cannot save - if there is a power cut you have to redo all your work.”
