Foundation Software versus G2
Compare	Foundation Software	G2
Verdict	Depends	Depends
Best for	Contractors needing job costing	B2B software buyers shortlisting tools
Who it's not for	Non-construction businesses . the accounting logic is contractor-specific	Vendors without five-figure budgets
Privacy	Active intrusions reported Sept 2024; attackers used default credentials, brute force, and SQL flaws against contractor deployments.^³	No public security page found; UpGuard reports no phishing; G2's own DPA references a past data breach.¹⁵
Support quality	Only vendor-curated testimonials available	Trustpilot and BBB complaints about G2's service
Public sentiment	FOUNDATION is reviewed across G2, Capterra, and Reddit, but public snippets don't surface detailed user sentiment.^⁶	Buyers find G2 useful for breadth, but sentiment on G2's own service skews negative on Trustpilot and Redditors weigh it against Capterra and Trustpilot.
Biggest gotcha	Default credentials and SQL flaws were exploited in Sept 2024; harden immediately, change all defaults^³	Vendor contracts are negotiated and opaque; budget five figures annually before committing.¹⁶
