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.

Pros

"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."
"Qualtrics XM Platform has improved our ability to collect and analyze feedback efficiently, leading to more informed decision-making and better program management."
"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."
"It is the Ferrari of XM platforms."
"AI-driven analytics in Qualtrics XM Platform is very useful for scenarios involving text analysis, as it automatically creates topics and categories, performs sentiment analysis, and provides summaries similar to Amazon reviews, making it widely accepted by clients for its meaningful insights."
"Workflows are very powerful. There are a lot of good things, but I feel workflows are the best."
"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."
