|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | ML teams with large image/video datasets | B2B software buyers shortlisting tools |
| Who it's not for | Solo devs labeling a few hundred images | Vendors without five-figure budgets |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.² | No public security page found; UpGuard reports no phishing; G2's own DPA references a past data breach. |
| Support quality | No user feedback in sources | Trustpilot and BBB complaints about G2's service |
| Public sentiment | Indonesian ML practitioners on Threads describe it as a practical curation-first tool for large, duplicate-heavy datasets; no formal review ratings surfaced.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. |
