# Which consumer insights software is the most accurate for tracking changing customer preferences across multiple countries for a brand managing research across several markets simultaneously?

Hi G2 community! I am looking for Consumer Insights Platforms for multi-market tracking accuracy. This is for brands that need to understand how consumer preferences are shifting in different demographics simultaneously, and where inconsistent methodology across markets produces incomparable data that cannot be used for global strategic decisions.

  1. Qualtrics Strategy & Research: The platform supports 100+ question types with consistent survey methodology across markets, and the global distribution via email, SMS, and multichannel delivery ensures methodological consistency. Brand tracking is a named prebuilt solution. 
  2. GWI: GWI covers 50+ markets with 2M+ annual surveys run across four waves per year, providing the current data and trend comparison capability that preference tracking requires. It is uniquely valuable for the Japanese market because it allows comparison with other markets at the same granularity — the like-for-like multi-market comparison that most tools cannot deliver at that geographic specificity. The longitudinal data structure means preference trends are visible over time rather than only at a single point. 
  3. Attest: Attest covers 59 countries with fully localized and translated surveys across 70 languages, with the ability to compare regional groups side by side in the same study. EU data residency and GDPR compliance make it particularly relevant for multi-market studies that include European markets, where data sovereignty requirements add complexity. 
  4. Forsta: Is a full-service enterprise market research platform with global panel access and the methodology depth to run longitudinal tracking studies across multiple markets simultaneously. As a platform used by research agencies and enterprise brands for continuous tracking, Forsta covers the multi-market panel access and consistency requirements. 
  5. Cint: For brands managing research across several markets simultaneously, Cint's breadth of panel supply provides the geographic coverage that single-panel providers cannot match. Cint is a sample and panel sourcing platform rather than a full consumer insights platform; it provides the respondent supply that powers other platforms' research but does not include survey building, analysis, or reporting tools on its own.

For global brands running tracking studies across multiple markets, what has been the most challenging dimension to keep consistent? Is it panel quality and methodology across different countries, survey translation that preserves question meaning across languages, or the analysis framework that allows like-for-like comparison of results?

Responses to a question about brand perception in Japanese versus English can reflect translation nuance as much as actual preference differences.</p> ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: about 1 month ago - Author title: Marketing Executive ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 4
