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.

Pros

“Best of all, the Support staff are REAL people who respond to my email requests quickly, patiently, and skillfully. Plus, it makes sorting out reports (like who gets which T-shirt) easy.”

Kay C.

Volunteer Coordinator

“I would like a simple table of contents for each problem people encounter, click on it, receive solution (especially for those who have trouble remembering - the elderly volunteer coordinators)!”

Debra B.

Volunteer Coordinator

“Getting our existing data into the system from our previous platform was a challenge. If you are starting from scratch, the setup is seamless, but be prepared for some friction if you are moving over a large database.”

Douglas B.

Member

Pros

“It allows us to let volunteer teams pick projects and be matched with the organizations.”

Andy G.

CEO

“We use it for volunteer signup as well as nonprofits to input projects.”

Andy G.

CEO

“While I do think that the info articles could use a little revamping, I have been very pleased with all customer service reps I’ve dealt with. Whether over the phone or via email, everyone has been pleasant and genuinely helpful.”

Karen W.

Board of Directors, Project Management Chair

Cons

“There was nothing that I didn't like, but what I struggled a bit with was that our use of the site might need to have some large changes in order to make quick fixes.”

Lindsay R.

Volunteer Coordinator

“The inability to send texts and emails to individuals.”

Brenda L.

Volunteer Coordinator

“I wish the YouTube channel were updated more frequently, I do like using that as a resource, but when the interface changes and the tutorial doesn't reflect that change, it can be confusing.”

Liz B.

Volunteer Coordinator

Cons

“Also, it feels like Get Connected tries to be a "one size fits all" type of management software, which for the most part is okay, but my volunteer program is somewhat unique and very diverse, and it doesn't work for some of what we do.”

Travis H.

Mgr. of Floor Experiences and Volunteers

“Some of our less tech-savvy volunteers don't like having to sign up for each event when they come to multiple events a week, every week.”

Melissa M.

Volunteer Coordinator

“We have very intricate need at our clinics and that makes this system a bit more difficult to use because it is a very broad system.”

McKenzie A.

Clinic Coordinator
