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.
5 Ways SMBs Can Bridge the Digital Skills Gap Post-COVID-19
Many SMBs are struggling to bridge the digital skills gap. Your business doesn’t have to, so check out the five ways to develop digital skills.
Digital skills are no longer centered around the IT department. Today, they are prerequisites for most business functions.
However, there’s a palpable digital skills gap that organizations are struggling with. Twenty-two percent of respondents we surveyed say this lack of skills is their biggest challenge in pivoting in response to the pandemic. This skill shortage in the workforce has broadened in the wake of the COVID-19 and pushed businesses to transform almost overnight.
While mitigating the skills gap is essential for workforce development and overall success, businesses often find themselves ill-equipped to do so. On the subject, Distinguished VP Analyst, Gartner, Graham Waller says, “Conditions during the COVID-19 crisis are harsh on learning and render traditional training nearly impossible.”
So how can SMBs bridge the digital skills gap and acquire technical skills relevant today?

We asked respondents a range of questions about business model changes, digital skills, and IT management/security in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Respondents were not required to answer every survey question.
