What do you like best about SourceForge?

It’s the easiest B2B software site to use in my opinion. They have thousands of software categories and user reviews, and it’s very well-researched. I can find software by filtering by integrations, which is very nifty and not something I can do on other software comparison sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SourceForge?

There’s nothing I dislike really. It would be cool if they added some AI features to make finding the right software even easier/faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SourceForge solving and how is that benefiting you?

It seems like every day we need a new software product in every part of our business. With AI being huge now too, we’re always looking for new B2B software products to make our company more efficient and productive. SourceForge always has the latest and most up to date software comparisons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SourceForge?

Best thing I like about sourceforge is the ease of use, you can literally download as many projects as you wish on a single click without registering an account. Moreover users can leave a review, their system monitors each project for malicious content or binaries so you can be sure that the project is safe to use or compile.

SourceForge also has several very interesting Blogs and Articles that will help you delve a little into software development and implementing Open Source systems. I loved the Reviews section within SourceForge, all the reviews are very well organized, and this helps you to read opinions about any business program or Open Source easily.
