Try SaaS Software for Free Before You Buy It

By Telmo Silva on June 30, 2016

Technology today has changed our world. We can now buy the best cars and the best software on the market. We don’t have to pick one and live with our choice for the rest of our lives.

Because we can adapt to the market, how will you know which SaaS software to buy? How will you find the perfect SaaS software for your business?

Car Buying
Before we find the perfect SaaS software, we have to do some research. One example of extensive research we already do in our lives is through the world of car shopping. Before we think about buying a car, we ask the tough questions. How safe is it? Can this new car fit my family comfortably? How does this car compare to others cars? Is this the right car for me and ultimately, we try before we buy.

Why don’t we research SaaS software like we research cars?

Free Trials
When you’re doing research on SaaS software, look on the second and third page of Google’s search results for other solutions to your problem. You might find a hidden gem through your research.

More importantly, most lesser-known companies have free trials. Use the trial period to your advantage. There’s no long-term commitment since the software is free, and you will feel better about your decision after the trial period.

Through the free trial, you will learn about the SaaS software company’s support, technology, and hidden costs. Some businesses find out about these qualities after they’ve already spent money on the expensive software.

Be proactive and don’t hesitate to spend a little more time to find or ask for those free trials.

And, by the way, if you are looking for a BI solution for your company that offers a free trial, you know where to find us ;)
