Software vendors say the darndest things. We often see our competitors create these side-by-side comparisons where one vendor has a column full of checkboxes next to a list of capabilities, and then they don’t give the competitor credit for even the most obvious functionality.
We don’t think these are at all helpful. Where do these vendors get their data, anyway? It’s a silly tactic that just destroys their own credibility and wastes your time. We’d like to suggest two alternative approaches to figuring out what vendor is right for you:
Option 1: Read G2’s take on Ringlead v. Openprise
Take a moment to review G2’s comparison. To cut to the chase, Openprise wins with a score of 4.9 to Ringlead’s 4.1, and beats Ringlead in every single G2 rating category:
- Meets Requirements
- Ease of Use
- Ease of setup
- Ease of Admin
- Quality of Support
- Ease of Doing Business With
- Product Direction
Quite a blowout.
Option 2: A do-it-yourself approach to comparing Ringlead v. Openprise
If you have more time and want to do your own primary research, we suggest doing the following:
- Print out the list below of capabilities we think every company needs. (Note that it’s our own, very biased list. Remove the features you don’t think you’ll ever want.)
- Schedule a demo of Ringlead and Openprise products.
- Check the boxes after seeing each capability in the demo.
