(1-5 of 5)Pendo Feedback is a great complement to Pendo Analytics
- Captures feature requests from customers
- Organize feature requests
- Communicate progress updates to customers
- Improvement could be made on easily grouping and reporting on feedback by customer parent account, not just by actual customer
- Feature requests states are predefined. It would be nice if those were customizable so they could match our actual business states
- The interface to update and manage the details of feedback requests could be improved and streamlined
- Pendo Feedback has helped our business consolidate all our customer feedback into a single location, making it easier to manage.

- Filtering in general is not easy

- Able to tie costs to enhancement requests via Jira integration
New Name, Same Solid Value
- Organizing data from users.
- Customize questions and users.
- Manage priorities for our customers easily (intuitive).
- Do not charge per user (we almost cancelled over that).
- Get rid of or make the assumption of time and money saved more realistic.
Less appropriate for a fulfillment tool to be used as an ongoing communication (customers complain about getting notifications from mass comments on requests).
- Helped us understand customer priorities.
- Provided us a way to weigh the value of a feature.
- Given us a way to touch hundreds of customers in one comment.
- Customers start to think we work on very little based on the number of requests compared to the number of releases.
- Allows end users to prioritize their requests - and shows them that prioritizing one de-prioritizes the others.
- Provides decent reporting so I can see what users want filtered a variety of ways.
- Has a great "director dashboard" I can use to show the CEO how much time it's saving us.
- I wish I could customize exports; e.g. if I just want to export all items and the number of votes.
- Managing my "team" users vs. end users is a little clunky.
- We were managing these enhancements in our support ticketing system, using spreadsheets, and it was TERRIBLE. Being able to tell a user "Great idea! Submit it to Feedback!" has saved my support team hundreds of hours.
- We have reduced incoming support requests when the request is really an enhancement - the ability to have a "Suggest Features" widget in our software sends users straight to Feedback.
- Because we can make some fields required, we can cut down on the need to reach back out to our users for clarification.
We were receptive to Receptive...and it's paying off
- Receptive organizes the masses of data on product feedback that we have into digestible, actionable items. We're able to manage a workflow in an orderly fashion and ensure that all of our information on what customers want is in one place. Receptive's Dashboard is a great place to land on without getting too overwhelmed at all the incoming requests from our customers - it shows us what items have been waiting the longest, the most valuable requests, the most popular requests, and more. The Dashboard alone has helped us focus on product feedback more strategically without getting sidetracked by the influx of data.
- Receptive allows for thorough collaboration amongst our internal teams. Before we implemented it, it was sometimes a challenge to stay on the same page. Now we all have one central place to look; the activity timeline, team member tagging, and reports/metrics functionalities are all quick views into what our internal teams are doing, and we're able to easily update each other on statuses without adding to each others' email stockpiles.
- Receptive's own customer success for their customers (us!) is top-notch. Our CSM Aly is a true advocate for our cause and needs within the solution. She's faithfully met with us every few weeks to check in on how we're doing, and gone extra steps to ensure that we're taken care of. They've made it very easy to be a customer of Receptive, and they've listened to our voice in our feedback for their solution, and we can clearly tell!
- Receptive's user interface is generally very navigable and simple (and also looks nice)! However, we've come across a few navigation quirks that we believe could vastly be improved, particularly in their Browse column, where you can view all feature requests. We wish Receptive used webpage real estate a bit more efficiently - a lot of blank space and scrolling, as well as 'next page' clicking is necessary to browse requests. It would help if there were some sort of a preview pane for the requests, and if the filters were all at the top.
- A particular functionality that we've been asking for a long time from Receptive isn't there yet: customizable feature statuses (such as Under Review, Planned, Building, Released, Declined, etc.). It looks like it has been highly requested in the past, and we're pretty sure many customers would benefit from it and love Receptive even more. We're really hoping Receptive will release it soon.
- Receptive has improved our interaction with customers / engagement, which has helped us to maintain customer relationships better.
- Receptive has decreased the time spent in trying to organize and manage incoming product feedback data by allowing us to automate the process.
- Receptive has helped us strategically to determine where to go in building a better product for our customers - one that they love to use and know that they're valued by.
