“Great For Software reviews”

This is one of my favorite applications to review and read about new applications which I can use in our company. I keep myself updated on the latest software on SourceForge to develop, review, download, and publish open source and business software. It is one of the best searchable databases I've ever used. Plus Great customer support (by email or phone). It is being used across my company to find the perfect software for many purposes.

“I never use Sourceforge now”

I spent hours trying to remove malware. My last download (I forget the program) took over my search engines on all browsers. I probably spent four hours trying to rectify it manually and Chrome remained infected. Unfortunately many companies still use Sourceforge. Please be very wise if you even think of using this site - it could cost you hours of time or a lot of money to get fixed - who knows - you might lose data?

Verified purchase

SourceForge has been the ultimate solution for us both as a SaaS business looking to acquire new customers, and as a company ourselves that needs to find the right software solutions for our business. They have a huge variety of business software comparisons complete with integrations, reviews, pricing, and more. They also have a giant library of open source software so you can really evaluate all options before making a purchase.

As a SaaS company looking to get new customers, SourceForge has great fixed rate marketing packages which provide a lot of value. It's nice not having to pay per click like we do on some other platforms. In addition to driving new customers to our website, SourceForge offers us buyer insight data, statistics, and all kinds of other good stuff about the people viewing our solution on SourceForge. Highly recommend.

It is a great tool for software developers and companies of any size that are looking for a specific software listing. It has allowed us to close that giant gap we had with the customer and they have given us a fast and accurate approach. They have provided us with sufficient information through graphs and software comparison tables. Everything is spectacular.

SourceForge is the best website I came across to see genuine reviews of paid and free applications, which are posted by the users who have used the applications themselves. Another good thing about SourceForge is the websites' user interface. It is one spot where we can get details of the application form features to its price with a download option as well. A must-have application to make your task easy.

We've been using SourceForge for years to find the best software for our business, whenever the need arises. SourceForge has done a great job building a comprehensive business software directory that lets you filter by remarkable granular criteria. So, for example, when we needed a new email marketing tool, we turned to SourceForge and input our needs and found a great tool that we now use every day.

When we launched our own software product, I figured we'd list it on SourceForge to get some exposure, and we even signed up for one of their paid plans. The results blew my mind. For the price, we get so many more qualified leads than any other business software site we advertise on. SourceForge is the best kept secret (maybe not for long) in the business software advertising world. If you want to acquire new customers for your software or SaaS product, then SourceForge need to be at the top of your list.

They also have a great open source software directory and repository, because sometimes open source software is the best choice, depending on what you need. Highly recommend.

The ugly
-nothing, really

SourceForge is a great site to explore popular and new open source projects available. It is a website not only for IT Professionals but also sales and other fields professionals download softwares, explore alternatives and review products at the same time. It is completely trustworthy, ad free and the projects made available directly by the devs themselves. It also boasts a file versioning system to keep older versions.

I use SourceForge to track down the right programming for my business needs. We utilized a modest bunch of heritage frameworks and excessively numerous accounting pages in our business, so I began utilizing SourceForge to track down the best programming for our business. I utilized SourceForge to assess CRMs, Invoicing programming, project the executives programming, and much more. I additionally work straightforwardly with my customers and a considerable lot of them required assistance discovering the POS programming for their necessities or other stock administration programming. I could just place their measures in the channels on SourceForge and it assisted me with tracking down some cool options I had never known about. I truly like their "Choices" highlight which let me go to an item one of them may have effectively utilized and simply click on the "choices" button and there I would track down the top contenders, making my inquiry much speedier.

I work for a SaaS company that sells software. SourceForge is by far our number one channel for acquiring new customers. We pay for a Plus Package on SourceForge for our business software, so that we are listed in their software directory. They provide way more qualified clicks than other business software directories. We also have a community version (open source) of our product, so we list that in their open source section, and get thousands of downloads per week for free. SourceForge is a godsend when it comes to marketing business software and acquiring new customers.

SourceForge is a dynamite way for SaaS businesses to get new software customers. SourceForge offers fixed cost packages (as opposed to PPC like some business software sites do) where you can get unlimited clicks to your website and acquire a boatload of new customers. In addition to acquiring new customers, SourceForge offers a program to help you get real, honest reviews from your customers, and features a variety of other promotional methods that come included as part of your package. Highly recommend SourceForge if you're a SaaS company looking to acquire new customers.

SourceForge has been an excellent site to view quality reviews, quite detailed reviews that help you when choosing a specific software and to understand very well the functionalities that each software offers. SourceForge has an excellent comparison system, in which you can search for alternatives for specific software, so if you want to replace some of your company's software, SourceForge.net is the best way to find reliable alternatives. I have used this platform to view some reviews about some software that I needed to implement in my company, but I have also used it to write several reviews, the review submission process is quite fast, you just have to fill in a couple of text fields and your review will be ready, it's fantastic. I've had a lot of fun using SourceForge, writing multiple reviews for some of the software I use in our company was really great.

We have been using sourceforge as our go to spot to check for cheaper or FOSS alternatives to mainstream softwares. This has saved a lot of time and money for us to get it all at one place. The only thing it lacks is a bit of modern UI and sorting or searching based on tags
