Workflows are very good, integrate with a lot of things and effective real-time feedback mechanism
There is a lot to improve in Qualtrics. 1. The dashboard is quite slow compared to other dashboards like Power BI and Tableau. The attractiveness of the dashboard also needs work. For example, if I want to move widgets from one page to another, I have to do it one by one. If there are many widgets, I cannot multi-select and move them. 2. In workflows, they can be categorized into folders. Currently, there is no folder structure. So, Qualtrics should introduce folders where you can put multiple workflows in one place. 3. Qualtrics can also introduce AI features to suggest how to build a survey. For example, if I make a grammatical error or if I input a query that a client is looking for a particular kind of survey with a specific use case, it should automatically suggest some templates for building a survey. There are a lot of things they can improve on. These are just a few.

There's definitely room for process improvement in SAP Service Cloud. In my opinion, what can be better in SAP Service Cloud includes having the data center existence properly implemented. Not all cloud solutions are present in data centers. While we evaluate the product, we have to check the existence of the product in all nearest data centers. For example, while I check the data center through the Trust Center on SAP's website, I found that most cloud solutions are installed in Riyadh, but they are missing some very important tools such as LeanIX, which is not existent in Saudi Arabia. E-commerce solutions are also missing, and some aspects of C4C, such as Customer Data Cloud, are not present in many data centers. Not all components in cloud solutions exist in key centers in the Middle East and North Africa. They evaluate demand before installation, but having all solutions in the center point could encourage sales cycles.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its comprehensive features and ease of use make it a valuable tool for efficient data management and analysis, contributing significantly to our organization's operations."
"I have used SPSS Survey software, SurveyMonkey and SurveyGizmo, and this is the best software out there."
"The most valuable feature of Qualtrics Customer XM is the survey, which is very user-friendly and designed as a drag-and-drop item."
"Its flexibility allows for easy adjustments to subscriptions, which contributes to user satisfaction"
"Workflows are very powerful. There are a lot of good things, but I feel workflows are the best."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its setup process. I find it intuitive, especially regarding tasks like randomization and survey logic. Delighted by Qualtrics is intuitive compared to many competitors, which justifies its price."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its simplicity and standardization. The consistent look and feel across surveys make it easy to use and provide a sense of simplicity. Once I've navigated through it for one survey, I feel confident I can efficiently handle the next hundred surveys. The intuitive interface contributes to the overall ease of use."
"With Qualtrics Customer XM, we can integrate data and run an algorithm, so if somebody has specific feedback early on, we can determine the possibility of that person leaving the company."
"The embedded AI inside SAP, called Business AI, impacts decision-making and resolution times significantly, working as a smart conversational chat in Joule to create dashboards and compare historical data with sales forecasts."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, a lot of emails bounce back during email distribution."
"Most of the improvements made constantly cause some friction in the platform."
"It is not easy to implement because it requires an implementation partner for about three to four months."

In the current trend where AI is being integrated into various tools, introducing features that enable users to generate surveys efficiently through conversational interfaces or minimal instructions would be a significant advancement."
"The solution's integration with Salesforce should be improved."
"The solution should add more visual-type elements or image-based question approaches."
"The process of creating, updating, and importing participants needs to be more flexible"
"The dashboard is quite slow compared to other dashboards like Power BI and Tableau. The attractiveness of the dashboard also needs work."
"Not all components in cloud solutions exist in key centers in the Middle East and North Africa."
