Unbiased reviews can be found on many different websites. Honest Product Reviews offers reviews of products within certain categories such electronics, shoes, pets, and so on. You can read side-by-side comparisons and find a simple website design to go with. Consumer Reports and Tom's Hardware also provide useful information, but TestFreaks is our preferred choice. These sites also provide information on specific products for specific markets.
TestFreaks
TestFreaks is a great way to read and find honest reviews about products. A badge product was launched by TestFreaks in 2011. It allows retailers to add review snippets and ratings to their product pages. An API was launched in 2012 which allows them to add new tabs to their existing tabs. To increase their conversion rates, they have also launched a pro-active after-purchase review collection system.
Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports was a trusted source for product reviews long before Amazon and other online shopping sites. They now have a website presence and charge a $10 monthly fee, $39 annual digital subscription, and $59 for all-access. They also provide sponsored content and other types information. We'll be taking a closer look at each option to see the pros and cons.
G2 Crowd
G2 Crowd is a product review site that allows users to leave honest reviews about companies' products. G2 Crowd is similar to Yelp in that users can rate companies based upon their satisfaction with the product or service. Reviews cover setup, security, and support, and allow reviewers to answer questions about the product or service. If you have reviewed the product, you can also vote for them and upvote their reviews. Video reviews can give you more credibility. G2 Crowd makes it easy to check if someone has verified your review.
Tom's Hardware
Tom's Hardware is an online magazine that provides news, reviews and articles on computer hardware and software. It features videos, price comparisons and blogs that highlight the latest technology and products. It ranks 11th in the Electronic Components sites. Although Tom's Hardware has a reputation for high-quality content but its reviews aren't always positive. You can get a product review from another site for the cost of one article.
Capterra
Capterra is a great place for product reviews. Capterra has over 400 categories. You can filter them by key features, pricing and deployment options. A list of the top 20 software tools for each category is also available. It is possible to find the right tool for you by reading user reviews. Capterra does have some limitations.
