Our take
G2 helps companies to compare the best business software and services based on user ratings and social data. Its rise emphasises just how fragmented and competitive the market is for business software today, and how a company that provides a way to navigate through all the confusion has a very good shot at building a lucrative business.
The company is part of a large group that has sprung up online to provide reviews and competitive analysis of various software products. However, unlike many others, G2 doesn't use an affiliate revenue model, where revenue is earned through advertisements and clicks. G2 instead uses a similar model to Glassdoor, striving for authenticity and credibility.
This approach has seen the site rise in popularity as it delivers reviews and analytics to make navigating the software landscape less complex for businesses and their teams.
