Our commitment

Independent research 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.

Pros

“Their support has been wonderful as well. The iterative improvements that come our way are great, and continue to make a great software even better.”

Andreas B.

DBA/SharePoint Admin

“Integration with ETHOS and the awesome support for it (from your developers) really helped. Being part of the beta-testing was great.”

Bary C.

Programmer/Analyst

“I love almost everything about Etrieve, especially the ability to customize forms and workflows. SoftDocs Tech/Customer Support is amazing.”

Julie C.

Digital Solutions Administrator

Cons

“One problem with the electronic forms is that they are difficult to create and edit unless you are throughly trained and have a technical background.”

Alissa B.

University Registrar

“Users got used to the tree in DoceScan and were later disappointed that several "features" were not included in the tree. Custom sorting of tree levels is not possible.”

Bary C.

Programmer/Analyst

“It makes it difficult for our office when trying to edit or create a form where we need to rely on IT or someone at Soft Docs for assistance.”
