ProCompare (ProCompare.com) is a review site that aims to help small businesses evaluate various technology products (software, hardware and webware). It also has a searchable directory of profiles of IT professionals who have registered on the site for review or promotion purposes. The products are reviewed by the registered users and aggregated for providing recommendations.
Contents
Users have the option of personalizing the product ranking based on preferences (weightings for different criteria for a given product/service) and can also view product specifications, read reviews of the products and compare selected products.
Product Categories
At the moment, the site covers primarily laptops / notebooks / netbooks - with a focus towards a cross-section of these products based on user reviews and the needs of the SMB professional.
Other features
Vendors can register on the site and can add products themselves through a vendor interface.
Differentiation
ProCompare is different from other review sites by the following characteristics:
- Solely focused on small business technology (while other review sites are typically consumer oriented).
- Relying on a community of IT professionals to rate and review the products (not casual users).
- Patent-pending product ranking method that reflects the shopper's personal preferences and the reviewers' relative trust level.
