Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

About ESM Purchase

EasyPurchase by ESM Solutions is a cloud-based procurement management solution for higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, state and local governments and mid-size commercial businesses. The solution allows users to configure bids, RFPs and RFQs. Users can create their own templates and add new sections like checkboxes, questions, pricing matrices, attachments and information sections. The solution enables users to publish RFx to multiple lists of prospective suppliers and invite vendors based on their geographic location. Vendors receive a notification of the RFx and they can submit their response electronically through a vendor portal.

ESM’s eProcurement solution automates business processes and supports approval-routing, payment options, reporting and analytics capabilities. Users can visualize spend data through dashboards and management reports.
