High-quality customer experiences are a necessity in today’s world, both in business and consumer industries.

Authentic customer stories and reviews are now critical to any business’s marketing strategy because they help your company stand out to prospective buyers doing research. 

In 2021, 87% of buyers wanted to self-serve part or all of the buying journey, a trend which has only increased in 2022. This includes peer advice via sites like TrustRadius, but also community forums, analyst perspectives and, most importantly, pricing information. These changes are largely driven by Millennials who now comprise over 60% of today’s software buyers.

Peer feedback via reviews offers relatable experiences, whether it’s a similar use case, role or industry. Awards and accolades compliment that relatability by identifying the distinct leaders in a category or market. 

The TrustRadius Top Rated Awards, among others in the industry, use peer review feedback to showcase the best software offerings. Real customer experiences determine the winners — and that’s what buyers care about.

“Peer-to-peer feedback is how customers decide in 2022. It is an essential part of the customer journey.“ — Ari Sheinkin, Vice President, Performance Marketing & Analytics

See what’s new in SingleStoreDB with IBM 8.0

3 min read - Despite decades of progress in database systems, builders have compromised on at least one of the following: speed, reliability, or ease. They have two options: one, they could get a document database that is fast and easy, but can’t be relied on for mission-critical transactional applications. Or two, they could rely on a cloud data warehouse that is easy to set up, but only allows lagging analytics. Even then, each solution lacks something, forcing builders to deploy other databases for…
