Algorithmic research
Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2025 8:50 am
For survey-based research, such as our annual Tech Trends reports, our Research Lab team ensures that the panels used and the published results are representative and accurate. Again, full methodology information is included in each report.
Capterra has a formal process for addressing questions about the research reports we publish. If you have questions about the findings of a report, please contact [email protected].
Algorithmic research uses algorithms to apply established methodologies to our own data. These searches are interactive and can be customized to user needs. Users enter their requirements and receive content generated using predefined algorithms. While sponsored products are not a direct criterion for these algorithms, they could potentially influence the results of some methods when country email list comparing products and/or features.
Marketplace content
Marketplace content is content designed to help users interact with software profiles. It lists, compares, and describes software tools through standard profiles and without editorial commentary. This content is based on a combination of data from sources we have verified and data provided by vendors. We verify ratings , pricing information, and features offered by vendors to ensure a product is appropriate for a category and listed in the correct category. However, we do not exert editorial control over the information provided by vendors and reviewers. The inclusion or placement of specific products in Marketplace content may be influenced by whether they are sponsored products. Vendors can sponsor their product profile and thereby receive premium placement in some Marketplace content.
The use of artificial intelligence at Capterra
For some content, where appropriate, we may use proprietary data science algorithms to identify trends in our own data sets to help us understand user sentiment, preferences, and priorities. We also use generative AI tools to aggregate the results of these algorithms.
