This section discusses some pros and cons of working with Dataforce that can help potential customers evaluate its performance. We use data from B2B review platforms like G2, TrustRadius, and Capterra, as well as data gathered from our analysis of Dataforce and its alternatives.

• It is important to offer secure data collection solutions. Dataforce has an ISO 27001 certification.
• While a customer liked Dataforce’s data collection service and its customer support, it found its service more expensive than its competitor’s. The customer also faced lagging issues with Dataforce’s platform.¹

• Another customer found Dataforce’s pricing for dataset preparation higher than its alternatives.²
• We only found 2 customer reviews for Dataforce, which is a small number as compared to reviews of its alternatives. Future customers might find it difficult to evaluate Dataforce’s services due to the lack of reviews. Reliable AI services have extensive customer reviews on different aspects of the company.
• Dataforce does not offer information regarding its code of conduct. In our experience, customers need to know where and how their data is being generated and what practices the company follows for its workers.³
• Having a diverse network of workers is essential for AI data server providers. Even though Dataforce has the 2nd largest crowd amongst its alternatives, it is significantly smaller than Clickworker’s. Here is a figure comparing the crowd sizes of Dataforce and its alternatives:
