One of the biggest obstacles I find people come across when they attempt to use a different operating system or just in an effort to find an alternative to a software package is the effort it can often take to find a decent alternative.
This seems especially true when it comes to finding software that will work on Mac OS or Linux as an alternative to the one you used on Windows.
Thankfully, there are websites out there with quite comprehensive information on alternatives for a variety of platforms. The one that first comes to mind which you may or may not be aware of is alternativeto.net
alternativeto.net allows you to quickly and easily lookup a software application and it presents a list of alternatives to that application which can be narrowed down by OS and other filters.
There are also user reviews, recommendations and ratings. It will tell you if it's a commercial application or free and link you to the official website.
Next time you're on the hunt for an alternative bit of software, it's worth checking out this site. Or, if you've developed an alternative and want to help drive traffic to your own product, you can list it with them and get it showing up as alternatives to competing products.
