Since its founding in 1999, Capterra continues to advance as a leader in the business software buying marketplace, and is on track for record growth again this year with over 50,000 reviews submitted by users year-to-date.

The company's popularity and impact on the software buying marketplace has grown exponentially since then, and today millions of businesses use Capterra.com each month to help them find the software solutions that best fit their needs.

"The ability to hear directly from peers as you are going through the buying process has now become the norm."
Ortner continues, "This level of transparency is great for the business software industry as a whole. When you look at the renewed focus on user experience and customer service over the last five to ten years, it is hard to imagine that user-reviews have not played a major role in that."
Capterra's industry-leading milestone of 200,000 reviews demonstrates just how critical peer reviews have become to software buying process. Capterra continues to provide software buyers with the tools to get input from their peers, and is making strides in its mission to help individuals make well-informed and confident technology decisions for their businesses.
