Richpanel outplays competitors across multiple key factors such as Time to Go Live, Ease of Setup, Ease of Use, Quality of Support, etc. and by delivering ROI at least twice as fast as competitors. 

It’s another quarter, and our customers have shared their verdicts. Richpanel has become one of the highest-rated customer service software in the Helpdesk, Livechat, & Customer Self-Service categories in G2’s 2023 Winter Report. 🥳

For the uninitiated, G2 is a software review site and technology marketplace that hundreds of thousands of working professionals trust for buying & evaluating software. G2 releases a quarterly report across varied categories ranking software based on multiple parameters based on user-driven reviews. 

But before we dive into further details of Richpanel’s accolades, let’s ask ourselves:

What is an Accurate Measure of a Product’s Success?

Before you say revenue, it is an excellent lagging indicator because all businesses are here to solve a customer’s problem and earn money. So it’s natural to assume that the company with the most money has the best product, and it’s true in some cases. 

But revenue is an indicator of a successful business model and not an accurate reflection of the product or the ability to solve the user’s problems. 

Revenue is also a lagging indicator, and many factors like business model, product direction, target market, and go-to-market motion must be aligned to experience rapid growth. 

Crack anything really well, and you’d still be successful even if the others are mediocre. While this is good for building businesses, it’s not optimal for users trying to evaluate a product or service. 

The problem with revenue as an indicator of product success, is that by the time you’re losing it, it’s probably too late.” — Todd Olson, CEO, Pendo

According to FirstMark on HackerNoon, the 5 critical measurements of a product’s success are: 

1. ‍Breadth of Use - How many people use your product?  ‍
2. Frequency of Use - How often are they using it? ‍
3. Depth of Use - How many features are being used? ‍
4. Usability - Are they finding it easy to use, are they using it correctly & quickly as possible?  ‍
5. Satisfaction - Does it meet their needs? Are they satisfied with the results? Are they willing to recommend you?

So these factors will give you a better understanding of the product’s capabilities, irrespective of the size of the business. 

G2’s philosophy is also very similar in measuring the success of a product and ensuring that they provide an unbiased opinion of a product & a business’ ability to solve their customer’s problems. 

Among these factors, frequency and depth of use are not too significant for evaluating software, as each business’s needs differ. 

But apart from Usability, Satisfaction & Product Adoption, a few other factors are necessary for an end user, such as time to implementation & ROI.
