Unified feedback has transformed member journey insights and now drives higher healthcare ratings
As easy as it was to connect our data sources with Qualtrics XM Platform, there were two or three out of the ten or so that we added that were a little bit trickier. Finding a way to get them in there and repeat the upload isn't always just Qualtrics XM Platform's fault. We have a lot of legacy platforms that we need to figure out how to make that work better. Having that work super smoothly and managing logins and some of that other stuff could always be a little bit easier and a little bit smoother. Admittedly, we could be better at providing the information, but that's something that could be improved.

Platform to exchange honest opinions and feedback without having to face each other
The pre-written survey templates helped me come up with questions to add on my survey without having to beat my head very hard. It also has the feature of video and image questions which was really helpful in getting feedback for my paintings through images for the people who had not physically seen them as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can integrate data and run an algorithm."
"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."
"The solution has other extra features, like Stats iQ, Text iQ, and Predict iQ."
"I have used SPSS Survey software, SurveyMonkey and SurveyGizmo, and this is the best software out there."
"Time has been saved significantly because for every application, developers do not have to make custom feedback forms."
"Qualtrics XM Platform has positively impacted my organization by providing a much better understanding of our clients and partners."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Qualtrics Customer XM is the survey, which is very user-friendly and designed as a drag-and-drop item."
"SurveyMonkey helped my reviewers and me with a platform to exchange honest opinions and feedback without having to face each other."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with Salesforce should be improved."
"I am not rating it higher because advanced configuration can be complex, reporting customization has a learning curve, and pricing and licensing need careful governance."
"To improve Qualtrics XM Platform, the current issue is that it has a steep learning curve; it is a bit complicated to understand at first."
"On the negative side of Qualtrics XM Platform, I see that there could be improvements."
"It is not easy to implement because it requires an implementation partner for about three to four months."
"I suggest to the Delighted by Qualtrics development or R & D team to consider incorporating advanced AI capabilities into their platform. 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 dashboard is quite slow compared to other dashboards like Power BI and Tableau. The attractiveness of the dashboard also needs work."
"Certain limitations could be addressed in the product. For example, when implementing surveys for diverse product ranges or categories, the platform needs help to adjust questions based on user responses dynamically."
"Including more languages would take SurveyMonkey a long way."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Some clients felt that this product was expensive when the sales team tried to sell it to them."
"Pricing depends upon the different kinds of use cases."
"We need to pay a yearly licensing fee for Qualtrics Customer XM, which is expensive."
"Delighted by Qualtrics is more expensive than the competitor solutions"
"The solution is fairly expensive, but it would be money well spent."
