Product Substitutes – what software top companies are replacing

In plain words

Product Substitutes is a directory launched in 2017 that tracks which software applications major companies are switching away from and what alternatives they're adopting instead. It serves business analysts, IT decision-makers, and software buyers who want to understand market trends and competitive dynamics in the software industry. The tool aggregates real-world replacement patterns, making it useful for identifying emerging software solutions and understanding why established products are losing adoption among enterprise customers.
