The Search is Over: Reports Aid in Decision-Making for HR Software

Between the hours spent analyzing manual spreadsheets and the sheer volume of laws and regulations you need to comply with, you’ve realized that your organization could really benefit from some HR software. But how do you make sure the search for this product doesn’t turn into another full-time job for you?

In today’s market, it can be tough to make a decision when there are so many options. You may start by evaluating each product’s important features and capabilities, but you also need to consider often-overlooked factors such as the implementation process, ongoing product support, and overall ease of use.

Online research can be extremely helpful in the decision-making process. In fact, according to a survey conducted by Showpad, on average B2B buyers will spend up to 20 hours researching before they contact a sales rep. More than half (64%) conducted research on vendor websites, while 59% also read peer reviews. Reviews can provide real insight into the user experience while providing information beyond what you may get from the company’s website. But even if you do your due diligence researching these potential partners, how can you ensure that you are finding real, accurate reviews by actual users of the software?

Enter G2 Crowd, a trusted peer-to-peer business solutions review platform with more than 500,000 independent and authenticated reviews. G2 ensures their reviews are authentic by running them through an algorithm, ensuring the submitter has a validated LinkedIn profile or business email address, and even having them read and authenticated by a real person. Additionally, software providers cannot influence their ratings, placement, or order with G2, so business professionals can trust they are viewing unbiased evaluations when making their purchasing decisions.
