Pros from Real Users Pros The best part of this software is that you can handle all of it from your phone as if you were just texting someone. If someone hops on your website and has any questions or concerns a notification comes up on the bottom corner of the page providing a way for the visitor to contact the company. These messages do go straight to the phone of the the individual over the website, which makes the communication personable and quick. Podium has an excellent interface; it has a high quality in sending files, I can send images or audios without losing quality. Besides that, I use it to create more effective communication and with guaranteed security conditions. Podium cloud is incredible for storing information. This is by far the best review gathering platform for Google around. I think they are actually backed by Google. To get all your reviews from different platforms makes it easier and saves time in the process. A very user friendly app which is easy to set up. It makes interactions easy. Using only one platform we can reply to each and every messages. Google, Facebook, Instagram we can easily connect with our customer on any platform using this software. Responses very quickly. Simple and easy to use. Also we can check the history of any customers interaction. Easy to use for both admins & users Efficient Review tracking Great dashboard for comprehensive view Integration with many platforms like Google, Facebook Automated Review invites feature Responsive customer service The interface for both the administrator and customer is very simple and attractive. I can easily send someone a review invite in within few seconds that goes directly to the customer's phone. It's very effective and quick. Clients can leave Google locals and Facebook review with some clicks. Which makes your business get recognized. Attractive and clean overall user interface. Easy to respond on negative feedback. We've used this with a lot of our clients and it's a great way to send out sms reviews on the go and live chat on your website. Easy to use and very simplistic. Encompasses everything you'd need to set up reviews to gather from customers.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros - Recognized consumer brand that many shoppers know and actively check - Centralized hub for collecting customer feedback in one place - Basic API access and embeddable widgets available for website integration The popular review service. Well known brand for customers not only in Europe but in United Status too. Trustpilot is a complete system to be able to consult complete reviews on any type of website or specific categories. The first thing I like is that Trustpilot has a wide variety of different categories where various customer experiences and reviews are stored from banks, clothing stores, furniture stores, pet stores and many more categories, this is great for the consumer can consult detailed reviews of a store before buying a product. TrustPilot allows you to filter recent or old reviews, allows you to filter information from companies and web pages, information such as domain, physical address of each company, details and history of each company. Trustpilot allows you to consult company information, this helps a lot to improve the confidence of potential customers who want to purchase a product or service. Decent user interface, but that's about it. There's not much more to say here. The interface is nice but Trustpilot has huge issues otherwise. Good website interface. Easy to read or provide review. Covers most of the software and websites. Decent amount of trusted reviews. Free to use. Cons - Publishes unverified negative reviews with zero proof of purchase, order history, or evidence of an actual customer relationship - Blocks businesses from inviting satisfied customers to review unless they pay a ~€500/month subscription - Company profiles cannot be deleted, permanently locking businesses into reputational exposure even after they stop using the service - Moderation enforces double standards: fake reviews from non-customers often stay published, while genuine reviews from real customers are removed - Freezes legitimate user accounts and rejects proof of purchase when flagging authentic feedback as fake - Poor technical value: basic API features and widgets are presented as premium innovations despite enterprise-level pricing - Creates a distorted ecosystem where angry voices are amplified for free and honest positive feedback is trapped behind a paywall Violation of agreement and extortion from Trustpilot Everything in Trustpilot is very good, it is a very complete platform to write and read new reviews about various web pages or physical sites such as restaurants or any place that you want to check about its reputation. Trustpilot's overall design is very good and works flawlessly, the review consulting and moderation time for each review is relatively short, posting in about 12-24 hours. I have never had any problems with Trustpilot. In my opinion, there is little to no review moderation on Trustpilot. I believe you can find fake reviews on almost any product or service. They are easily spottable because they have little to do with the product or service being reviewed, or are all written in the same sort of template, which indicates the company wrote the reviews themselves. A large amount of vague & silly one line reviews can also be found - It definitely needs to increase moderation to ensure quality control. No integration with LinkedIn - It should use LinkedIn as login source to fetch honest reviews.
