Independent research methodology

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

“The flexibility to customize member experiences, manage events, and integrate with our existing tools made it a great candidate for our community needs.”

Justin W.

Director of Information Technology

“I like the email campaign feature a lot as I can make it look really good and narrow down which members to contact.”

Madeleine G.

Change and Relationship Officer

“That means that admins needs to dedicate time to that issue, instead focusing on the animation of the community.”

Hichem B.

Knowledge Sharing Officer

Pros

“The ability to look each other up, have our calendars at our fingertips, simplify online payments for different membership types, and apply our branding to all of it is fantastic!”

Ola K.

Volunteer

“The way that you can quickly get your directory online, edit the website design and host on your own domain are top tier and affordable options for any small business looking to increase income and exposure.”

Aneesha S.

Founder

“The founder really cares about this success and functions of his directory with his buyers/customers- he is 100% active answering questions and always looking for ways to expand and improve with the needs of his customers.”

Vicki M.

Owner

Cons

“Lack of customisability can occasionally cause some issues for functionality, but we are not using the platform for its intended purpose which should be kept in mind.”

Madeleine G.

Change and Relationship Officer

“Occasional glitches. Why the "Discover Groups" view (or what we call Spaces) shows Groups who I'm already part of, it doesn't make sense. ”

Matt S.

Systems and Engagement Manager

“The lack of analytic information on what the users are consuming, and lack of support for team packages.”

Lauren H.

Community Manager

Cons

“Currently, I can only filter by one business category at a time. Although there's an option for a "broader search," it doesn't quite meet my needs when I just want to focus on a few specific categories.”

Brian L.

Consultant

“Every time the loco translate plugin was updated, it would misconfigure everything, or with the theme itself when it was updated, it would get something unconfigured.”
