It is an interesting idea. I can see this newsletter being of use to product managers and the like who have to do competitive analyses. Sometimes it is hard to get feedback on B2B SaaS apps, though. A lot of them don't offer free trials, and even if they do, you are not using them at scale, so might not see their power. A lot of times, buying decisions also don't come down to the usability of the product, but of other less apparent aspects, such as the trust and health of the company. Support contracts, implementation hand-holding, the cost of consulting time, ramp-up time, time to live for a customer, total lifetime cost, etc... all these things (and more) get factored into buying decisions and should be included in rating a B2B SaaS. Gartner performs this kind of analysis across a range of industries, and has certain rubrics they use to analyze products, and the health of the businesses that own them. It would be interesting to know how you intend to review and rate the products. Maybe an idea would be to find customers of these products and interview them on their experiences? |
