Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Of all the AI LLMs I use, Perplexity provides the best information when it comes to research, and it consistently cites its findings.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the searches get too far ahead without the right context, and I have to step back one or two steps to get things on track again. It’s not that big of a deal overall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deep Research has been the best part of using Perplexity for me. Now they’ve introduced agents as well, and they’ve been great so far.

Fast Research Tool with Reliable Sources
Reviewed on Mar 17, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Perplexity combines fast answers with reliable sources, showing where the information comes from, which makes it more trustworthy. I also like the clean and simple interface, which feels more focused compared to traditional search engines. I don't get distracted by ads or unnecessary links. Another feature I find really useful is the ability to ask follow-up questions in a conversational way, allowing me to explore a topic more deeply without starting over each time. Overall, it makes research faster, clearer, and more structured for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that doesn't always work well is that sometimes the answers can feel a bit too summarized. So I still need to check these sources for deeper and better understanding. Also, in some cases, the source quality can vary. So not all references feel equally reliable. Especially for more niche or technical topics. Another area for improvement would be more control over how detailed the response should be, like having better options for deeper explanations or more technical depth when needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Perplexity to solve information overload by getting summarized answers with sources, saving time and making research efficient and focused.

Skip Perplexity - Waste of Money
Reviewed on Mar 16, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
It auto-saves your threads which I really do like.
What do you dislike about the product?
It just doesn't respond. After buying a year's subscription, most days I have such a lag that I give up and jump to the basic web. After using it for 3+ months, I have found it to be far inferior to ChatGPT for rewriting documents. It's feels very much like a data-mining tool with no sophistication. It's pretty bad -- and paired with the delays -- definitely stay away. One of the worst purchases I've made.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tremendous delays with searches. Results are not very robust. Feels like a bare-bones data mining service. Plus, after purchasing, they hound you to upgrade to Comet and lay the offers across your screen. Super annoying!

What I like best about Perplexity is its ability to provide quick, source-backed answers in a clear and easy-to-review format. It is especially useful for fast research, fact-checking, and getting a concise overview of unfamiliar topics.
What do you dislike about the product?
Perplexity can sometimes oversimplify complex topics and miss important nuance. Its answers also depend heavily on the quality of the cited sources, so the output is not always equally reliable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Perplexity solves the problem of spending too much time searching across multiple sources for quick answers and background information. This benefits me by speeding up research, improving efficiency, and giving me a faster starting point for deeper analysis.
