The best thing about G2 is how the plan and onboarding are tailored to our business case. This has meant that the implementation and customer success team from G2 has been able to help us towards reaching our goals instead of "just" showing us the platform.
Also, we've gotten specific examples and cases of how to best use the G2 features for us, and together we've already set goals for what we want to achieve together.
We've been using G2 for 5 years now, and we've seen great results in review generation and, more importantly, lead generation and sales.
The Buyer Intent data available to us has really helped us out in many different ways, and we now use the data in marketing, sales, and customer success.
Also, the people at G2 are simply great. Everyone we are in touch with are always super friendly and helpful, and you can feel they really want you to get success. They are proactive in coming with ideas of things to try out, and are also very fast at helping out if we have any specific requests where we need their help.
I've found a few places where the documentation of features doesn't seem to be updated completely. An example could be for the different widgets, where it's not very clear how they are actually going to look. A few images/examples (maybe just with dummy data) would be great to show precisely what a widget does and how it'll look when implemented.
At first, the main benefits we were getting from G2 were better social proof and increased brand awareness. Getting more and better reviews have really helped us stand out in a competitive category, and works great as user-generated content that can provide social proof of our products.
Buyer Intent data has since helped us solve another big problem: identifying active buyers in our category. The customer journey is long and complex in our industry, so identifying key accounts that are actively researching products has helped us immensely in terms of lead generation and sales.
