At Qase we’ve helped thousands of customers transition to our platform from competitors, and hundreds have come to us with their own comparison charts that they’ve made up to make sure we’re the best solution for their team. We realized it would be helpful to share this information publicly, since it can be difficult to find honest, worthwhile comparisons that aren’t paid (all third-party “best of” lists are pay-to-play).
We wanted to create a resource that uses only feedback from real users, and wasn’t written by marketing. We’ve carefully compiled this list from the feedback of our own customers and customers on G2, taking from customer reviews, making it as honest and helpful as we could. If you feel like information is missing or inaccurate, please let us know. First, we’ll start with us:
