The author argues that "free Gartner alternatives" (G2, TrustRadius, etc.) are structurally biased because vendors pay for placement, review acquisition, and sponsorship, making their comparisons unreliable for B2B technical buying; contrasts this with Gartner's buyer-funded but incumbent-favoring model; and recommends vendor-neutral, published, versioned research portals with transparent funding, methodologies, dates, and conflict disclosures as a credible alternative.
