There are many things that I like about this platform. For example the User interface is neat and easy to use. The reviews are trusted. Open source as well as business softwares are available at source-forge. Downloading is fast and easy. And the customer support is also vey nice they they respond very quickly and also solve the problem very quickly.Also the provide video and detailed description about all the products on their platform and also you can see the price you need to pay after you buy that piece of software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SourceForge?

The thing that I disliked about this platform is that there are some softwares which are not mentioned. And the search filter can be improved a little bit more and the they can add more filters to find the right software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DO NOT USE SOURCEFORGE THEY ARE THE WORST PPC PROGRAM - TOTAL RIP OFF - TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE"
What do you like best about SourceForge?

Absolutely nothing, I would recommend Capterra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SourceForge?

Overpriced in the first place, but the service does not work. Used for 6 months, spend $8,000, and DID NOT GET A SINGLE CLICK OR LEAD. Tried to cancel after being automatically resubscribing and they would not let me cancel. They did not send an email or notification about the renewal. These guys are a scam.

Response from Logan Abbott of SourceForge

Hello, we investigated this and found that your campaign did not have a tracking link for the entire period, even after our campaign management asked you to provide one several times. Your account had a total of 564 clicks. As far as leads go, without a tracking link you cannot know, and that is likely why you have the impression that there were zero. We have already discussed this privately over email, but for those who are considering this please always use a tracking link when doing digital marketing. You also did not get a single user review, even though our packages offer many tools to help you get user reviews. If you don't take advantage of what we offer, you may not see optimal results.

"Favorite website to find software for my work"
What do you like best about SourceForge?

My favorite aspects of SourceForge would be the clean user interface and the easy to use filters that allow me to find the perfect software for what I need. I started my own business and needed a lot of different types of software like email marketing, sales software, project management software and invoicing software. There are so many different sources out there to tell me what is best but at the end of the day SourceForge has been my favorite. Beyond my personal business I have also used it to help other companies I work with find the right kind of accounting software or CRM or even POS alternatives.

Something I really liked about SourceForge was their alternatives feature. When I had a client that did not like their POS all I needed to do was go to a page on SourceForge and find the POS they used and then click on the alternatives to button. This helped me narrow the search down in seconds. Another neat feature about SourceForge was that they also highlight open-source software that is free to use. When I have a client who has a tight budget this free software can be a life saver, although its a little harder to use so they need to be more tech savvy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SourceForge?

I have noticed that the search bar in the top right corner can be a little buggy when searching for the exact name for a software, so I hope they fix that soon. Although I can always just tweak my search a little bit and end up finding what I'm looking for so it's not a big deal. Besides that I'm happy with SourceForge, they keep things simple and that makes it easier for me to evaluate the options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"So great for acquiring new SaaS customers"
What do you like best about SourceForge?

SourceForge is far and away the best channel for us to generate new SaaS customers for our software product. So we use it to acquire new customers, and the price per acquisition is the lowest among all of our marketing channels. SourceForge also offers a great software comparison tool, so when our company needs new software we can find the right tools on SourceForge. If you're a SaaS or software business looking to acquire new customers, it's hard to beat SourceForge's pricing and quality/quantity of leads. We also use the open source section of SourceForge for hosting the open source community versions of our products, and they offer good version control and open source code development tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SourceForge?

Not a huge fan of the orange color scheme but other than that we really have no complaints. SourceForge has been a magic bullet for us to acquire new customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great site for software reviews"
What do you like best about SourceForge?

I love that Sourceforge is the hub for all sorts of software needs, especially Open Source Softwares. It has a huge community of developers and customers. There are many comparison charts and reviews from ordinary users to help you figure out the best Softwares for any need. The software projects and a wide variety of software recommendations are always helpful when you're looking for an inexpensive alternative to an expensive product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SourceForge?

There are sometimes multiple download links on the software pages, which can be confusing. The website UI isn't something I am very fond of either as I used to find it difficult to navigate and discover what I was looking for when I first visited it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In terms of interface, it's user friendly and super clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SourceForge?

It has very few software filter options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
