Pros and cons of Dataforce

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 appreciated Dataforce’s data collection service and customer support, they found its service more expensive than that of its competitors. The customer also faced lagging issues with Dataforce’s platform.

• Another customer found Dataforce’s pricing for dataset preparation to be higher than that of its alternatives.
• We found only two customer reviews for Dataforce, which is a relatively small number compared to the reviews of its alternatives. Future customers may find it challenging to evaluate Dataforce’s services due to the limited number 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.
• Having a diverse network of workers is essential for AI data server providers. Although Dataforce has the second-largest crowd among its alternatives, it is significantly smaller than LXT’s. Here is a figure comparing the crowd sizes of Dataforce and its alternatives:
