"Intuitive Platform with Stellar Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Askable?

I find Askable super simple for getting a campaign going, which brought us a load of really qualified candidates. The proactive Askable team helped readvertise campaigns whenever we needed more responses, making it easy to get all the interviewees we want. I appreciate that the platform is intuitive and easy to use. The human support is invariably engaging, friendly, and helpful, which I really value. Adding our own availabilities into the calendar instead of negotiating timings with candidates is a big time saver. The interview tool is great, especially because it allows watchers who don’t appear in the meeting itself, so it doesn't overwhelm the participant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Askable?

We found that download speeds out of Askable (for full interview video recordings) were sometimes slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Recruitment with Quick Access, Moderate Customization"
4/5
What do you like best about Askable?

I really like that I can self-manage the recruitment process with Askable. The quick availability of videos and transcripts makes things efficient, and the team is friendly. Overall, it's an easy-to-use platform that lets me get things done relatively quickly. The initial setup was also very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Askable?

When working as Askable researcher some of the projects have really difficult specs which can slow down the process. In the Insights builder with the reels, not being able to control the order of the videos impacts the reporting flow and sometimes they don't make sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Participant Recruitment, Needs Better Rating System"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Askable?

I use Askable for customer and market research. It's great because it enables me to quickly and easily recruit participants for research studies and takes away much of the headache around participant scheduling, rescheduling, communications, and incentive payment. I find Askable to be easy to use, and in most cases, it's fully self-serve, so I can set up studies myself and make adjustments as needed. The support is also responsive and helpful whenever I encounter any challenges. The ability to easily self-serve studies is especially valuable to me because we often pull studies together at the last minute or with little lead time, and it helps keep things moving without relying on back-and-forth with a vendor.

What do you dislike about Askable?

At times we have had challenges in meeting quotas for studies, either overall for the study, or lacking a balance of male and female participants. The ability to rate participants is binary - either good or bad - which is challenging when you speak with a participant who is not great/very forthcoming, but you do not want to penalize a person by saying they were 'bad' - if they turned up and had the conversation they deserve some recognition for that, but the ability to provide a more nuanced ranking might help the platform put forward more engaged participants.

"Fast project turnarounds paired with welcome, fresh perspectives"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Askable?

The research capability matches that of in-house teams I've worked with, and the fresh perspectives from the researchers frequently reveal nuances I might overlook because I'm so immersed in the work and its context. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Askable?

Our systems are quite restricted, which means we can't access Google products. Even after using Askable for several years, I still find myself needing to remind the Askable team to send attachments and updates by email in file formats compatible with our systems, instead of Google documents that we simply can't open.

"Askable is my research team!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Askable?

I am currently a one-man-band, running all market research needs for the company. Askable's Plus/ Tracks allows me to work with other researchers of my choice to help me complete projects when I can't put all my time into them. It has literally saved my life!

It is super user friendly and I have worked with wonderful people so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Askable?

I think I may run into some tricky situations whereby I can't run two projects through the track at once, but the team has made it clear that we can at least have that conversation about what to do when that happens. I also think for other teams, not having the credit system anymore may be a reason they can't continue working with Askable. It's fine for my role though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Making participant recruitment and interviews a breeze"
5/5
What do you like best about Askable?

For my specific use case, which is usually for conducting one on one interviews and usability studies, Askable have made the entire process much more efficient and headache-free. We used to go back and forth with third party market research recruitment firms on the brief and screener, then participant scheduling was a nightmare, consent was extra work, and participant quality wasn't always great (and difficult to replace if one had gone very badly). With askable, all of those factors have been simplified. I can recruit good quality participants from a very large panel, schedule (and re-schedule), conduct, and analyse my data all from a single platform. It has saved a lot of time and headaches for me and my team. Customer support has also always been easy and helpful to interact with when needed, which is relatively rare.

What do you dislike about Askable?

For a time there were a few bugs in the video conferencing side of things, but these have been ironed out and it now performs really well. I would like the ability to have more conditional logic and better screen-out logic on the recruitment questionnaire, but I can usually work around this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick and Reliable Participant Recruitment"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Askable?

I love using Askable for the recruitment of participants for user research because it significantly streamlines the process, making it quick and easy. Participant recruitment can often be time-consuming and frustrating, but Askable solves these problems efficiently. I appreciate that I can usually find enough suitable participants within just 2-3 days, which is invaluable when my team requires customer insights promptly. This swift turnaround helps me meet my needs effectively and allows me to provide the necessary insights that my team demands with urgency. Additionally, I value having the assurance that I can replace any 'dodgy' participants effortlessly. Overall, the platform's quick and reliable recruitment capabilities are essential for my research tasks and are highly valuable in my role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Askable?

It can be challenging to find participants if I have very specific needs, although this seems to be improving as Askable expands its pool of recruits. Additionally, I would like the ability to specify certain accessibility needs in participants, which currently isn't an available option, forcing me to depend on screener questions instead.

"Efficient Participant Recruitment, great video-call tech and fun insights pages"
4/5
What do you like best about Askable?

I love that Askable makes it incredibly easy and fast to reach research participants, ensuring that they are exactly the individuals I need. This efficiency is invaluable for my user experience research processes. The built-in video call system is another feature I greatly appreciate, as it ensures all participants are familiar with the tool, eliminating the usual technical difficulties like audio or screen-sharing issues that we used to face with other video call tools. I enjoy how straightforward it is to create highlight reels for stakeholders, which helps in clearly communicating our findings. The initial setup of Askable was also remarkably effortless. Additionally, the capabilities Askable offers in terms of sharing clips and insights libraries with both internal and external participants are fantastic. Overall, these aspects collectively enhance the research process and streamline collaboration significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Askable?

I find the lack of quick-notes for positive, negative, and neutral things, along with the absence of keyboard shortcuts for these notes, to be a drawback. This feature would enable me to make real-time notes during interviews, reducing the need for an additional colleague. I would benefit from automated session analysis and summaries within Askable, as I currently have to use Gemini to achieve this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Recruitment with Room for Integration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Askable?

I have been using Askable for at least 5 years, primarily for recruiting participants for qualitative research, and it has been a reliable tool in this area. I love how it allows me to quickly and easily get participants from around Australia. The product's ease of use stands out, making my experience smooth and straightforward. One specific feature I value is the ability to book sessions entirely within the platform, which streamlines the workflow significantly. Additionally, the initial setup of Askable was very easy, which added to the overall positive experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Askable?

When using a meeting platform that isn't Askable Live, I am required to manually send participants a link. This additional manual step can disrupt workflow and is cumbersome. Having an option to integrate with Microsoft Teams or Zoom would make the process more seamless, allowing links to be managed directly within the platform and enhancing overall user experience.

"Great end to end research project"
4/5
What do you like best about Askable?

Askable Plus service was a great experience. A researcher who has relevant industry experience was assigned as request.The researcher was expert in their field. Easy to deal with and keep the team informed along the way. The platform itself supports the study in a way it's clear to see the progress and output. Screening and recruiting participants is super easy as well. The project was delivered timely to the expectation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Askable?

There were moments we weren't sure if we deal directly with the researcher or involve the Askable staff. But direct communication with the researcher works fine. Otherwise everything works fine. The new pricing model is not fit for purpose for my organisation. Credit system is much more flexible. The panel could also be expanded in other region more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
