    Feels Like a Research Assistant for Exploring Topics

    Reviewed on Oct 14, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I like how easily I can do proper research on a topic. I usually start with a basic question, then find something interesting in the AI follow-up suggestions and ask about it to explore that particular angle further. Overall, it feels more like having a research assistant...
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Nothing major—just that I wish it did a better job distinguishing genuinely useful findings from information that’s only loosely related to the question. Also, some answers take a bit longer than I’d like.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    It saves me from spending hours jumping between tabs when I'm researching a new industry or trying to understand a competitor. I can get the basic picture, identify interesting angles and then investigate the important details myself.

    Perplexity - A Fast and Useful Tool for Research

    Reviewed on Oct 06, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I like how Perplexity makes research faster by combining AI-generated answers with web search and citations. It helps me quickly understand complex topics, verify information, and find useful sources without having to open dozens of websites.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Perplexity is very useful for research, but there are a few areas where I think it could improve. During longer research sessions, the interface can start to feel a bit cluttered, which makes it harder to stay focused. I’d also like to see deeper integrations with the tools I already use as part of my workflow.

    Performance is generally fast, though more complex searches can sometimes take noticeably longer. Pricing is another sticking point for me, because it’s harder to justify paying for advanced features when I only need them occasionally. Onboarding and support could also be clearer, especially when it comes to more advanced use cases.

    My biggest concern is that Perplexity can sound very confident even when the sources are limited or unclear. Stronger source checking and more explicit uncertainty would make the answers feel much more trustworthy.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Perplexity mainly saves me time when I need to research something. Instead of bouncing between a bunch of different websites and trying to figure out what information is reliable, I can usually get a solid starting point with the sources included right there. I use it for market research, competitor research, technical topics, and for checking out new tools or ideas. It’s especially helpful when I’m trying to understand something I’m not familiar with, because I can get up to speed much faster and make decisions without spending hours searching.
