Enterprise feedback management (EFM) software allows companies to solicit and manage feedback and data from their customers in a centralized location. EFM software transforms customer feedback (e.g., surveys) into actionable information and enables the distribution of that information throughout an organization. Companies can use EFM systems to gather data on customers, employees, and market research. These tools are often designed for use by multiple parties in an organization who have varying roles and permissions, and are often integrated with CRM software.
While EFM software can have significant overlap with survey software and experience management software, the three categories are mutually exclusive. Compared to products in the Survey category, EFM products are more specific to business use cases and provide relevant features like Net Promoter Score (NPS) calculation and integrations with CRM software. They also provide more built-in analysis tools, triggers, and post-feedback actions compared to survey products. Meanwhile, products in the Experience Management category build on the core functionality of EFM by adding features that allow businesses to execute closed-loop actions based on received feedback.
Please note: Based on the stacking nature of these groups of products, the Experience Management, Enterprise Feedback Management, and Survey categories are mutually exclusive to provide clarity to the exact feature sets provided by each type of software solution.
To qualify for inclusion in the Enterprise Feedback Management category, a product must:
Provide all the features of a Survey solution
Enable organizations to solicit feedback from customers or stakeholders
Trigger alerts from collected feedback to send users regular feedback
Assign differing permissions to each employee or department to access specific customer information
Facilitate the distribution and analysis of data
