"Powerful Topic & Sentiment Analysis with GDPR-Friendly EU Data Hosting"
What do you like best about Caplena?

Caplena is strong on automated topic detection and sentiment analysis, including topic-level sentiment, which helps when a single comment contains mixed feedback. The interface supports iterative refinement of classifications and makes it practical to improve quality over time.

Segmentation and filtering are well supported via metadata, which is useful for drilling down by customer characteristics, channels, or time periods. Export options also make it easier to validate results and continue analysis in other tools.

From a compliance perspective, the anonymization capabilities and multilingual support are meaningful strengths for teams working with sensitive verbatim data. As a European, Swiss-based solution with EU data hosting, Caplena is also a strong fit for organizations with strict GDPR and data residency requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caplena?

Caplena is primarily an analytics and reporting platform. If your workflow requires case management or operational follow-up directly from insights, you may currently need complementary tooling. Closing-the-loop style workflow capabilities are an area Caplena is working toward, but it should not be assumed as available unless confirmed for your plan and timeline.

"Great product, great service"
What do you like best about Caplena?

The tool is incredibly easy to use and does exactly what its meant to. And the service is exceptional. The live chat function is a massive bonus when looking for support and the responses from Andre and Aliona are always super quick and super helpful. It's rare to find a company that gets the product AND the service right but Caplena does. They're also very receptive to feedback and adding items on to road maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caplena?

Not a dislike but looking forward to when full functionality has been moved across from V2 to V3. Looking further afield it would be great to see more tools within the Caplena eco system i.e survey design and delivery software, tools for customer data analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Barbara Houdayer of Caplena

Hi Billy,

Many thanks for your kind words. Getting Product and Service right is what we strive for every day. While we build an AI-powered platform, our goal is to empower people. Your feedback means a lot to us.

We want to make sure we know which V2 functionalities you would like to see passed on to V3 and which tools you would like to see as part of our ecosystem. If this feedback wasn't shared already, please feel free to share it with André and Aliona.

This quarter, we have added new integrations with survey design and delivery software (Alchemer, Medallia, QuestionPro, Survey Monkey) and BI tools for customer data analysis (PowerBI, Tableau, Looker). What should we consider next? We are definitely open to suggestions that would enhance our ecosystem and help customers enhance their workflows.

"All-in-one solution for qualitative customer feedback"
What do you like best about Caplena?

Caplena provides an abundancy of functions for the analysis of open-ended customer feedbacks. It combines Sentiment Analysis, i.e. the detection of emotions of customers, the classification of categories and topics, visualization via dashboards and - last but not least - anonymization functions which are important for data privacy regulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caplena?

Caplena needs to be implemented in close cooperation w/ the company - so it took long to have it ready-to-use. But as a consequence from that, you will get well-customized analysis options for your business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Barbara Houdayer of Caplena

Hi Benjamin,

Many thanks for taking the time to share your experience!

We love hearing that you are getting well-customized analysis options for your business needs, and that Caplena delivers valuable, ready-to-consume insights, including in your go-to analytics tools like PowerBI.

"Fast Theme Generation and Great Charts, But Code Frame Needs Improvement"
What do you like best about Caplena?

The interface, it is mostly easy to use. The speed at which the themes are generated and automatically tagged. The outputs that you can get, lots of charts available. Customer support is 10/10, always get a quick response to any query. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caplena?

The code frame generation is not the best. It always needs a lot of refining and editing, I have to delete irrelevant topics, and add topics that have been missed. It would be great if the code frame generated was closer to the end product. We rely on using already existing code frames to save time.

There is not much flexibility in editing the charts. Also would be nice to down load the chart for ppt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Barbara Houdayer of Caplena

Dear Rachel,

Thanks for openly sharing your feedback with us.

Our relentless goal is to deliver human-quality coding out of the box, reducing fine-tuning to the minimum. If this is not the experience you are getting, then we would like to fix this as soon as possible.

On a side note, we have rolled out a new version of our AI model a month ago. We're curious to know if you've tested it and tried using prompts to guide your topic collection?

Our Customer Success team has reached out to you, and we look forward to exploring the cases with you.

Warm regards from Zurich 🇨🇭

"Great and efficient at coding large number of text responses."
What do you like best about Caplena?

Once the code frames are finalised, it is quite good at recognising the open ended responses to bucket them in correct categories. It is quite helpful when there are large number of responses to be coded and saves significant time compared to manual coding. Editing the codes are also easy as they can be shifted from one category to another using drag and drop and can also be merged quite fast. The AI engine is quite capable in recognising the sentiments of the responses and that alone saves us precious time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caplena?

It struggles in generating initial codes and requires quite a bit of input to refine those codes. The initial codes it generate are quite generic and not very helpful. It can instead focus on the themes and generate relevant codes for responses. As I mentioned previously, once the codes are finalised by the user, it does a pretty good job in categorising the responses correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Barbara Houdayer of Caplena

Thanks for sharing your experience!

It's awesome to hear you saw time savings go up to 70% compared to manual analysis.

More importantly, we'd like to follow up on your feedback regarding initial codes.

- Have you already tried prompt-based topic generation to adjust the topics to your liking?

- Have functions like "similar" and "rare" topics been helpful?

We would love to know about the projects where you felt generating initial codes was a struggle, so we can identify which improvements can be made.

It would be fantastic if you could reach out to André and Aliona at support[at]caplena.com.

Thanks again for your feedback and greetings from Zurich 🇨🇭

"Really nice platform to analyze customers reviews"
What do you like best about Caplena?

The platform is easy to use. Creating and updating projects has been improved since the first time we used it.

We can share our work to our client with dashboards without creating accounts, just by sharing a link.

When we need some help, we can contact them with the chat and they answer quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caplena?

When we don't use the API, we need to create some ETL with power query in order to have the required structures for our tools. The columns filled with 1 or 0 for each topic are not what we need, but I've been told there are some improvements on the way for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Insight Chat & new reporting: Quick answers and modern visualizations"
What do you like best about Caplena?

The new features Insight Chat and the revised reporting significantly simplify analysis. Insight Chat provides quickly understandable answers to complex questions, including context, while the new reporting impresses with clear, modern visualizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caplena?

Bugs occasionally occur, but they are addressed very quickly. Reporting bugs is difficult because it usually only happens through chat. Sharing screenshots is not possible.

Limited visualization of dashboards, e.g., filters cannot be hidden in reporting.

Subsequent anonymizations are not possible. A new upload must be performed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pioneer of AI free text analysis with great functionality and depth of analysis"
What do you like best about Caplena?

The AI-supported analysis of open-ended responses with numerous individual customization options is particularly valuable. Equally impressive are the clear visualization and the in-depth analysis of correlations, especially in driver analysis. Additionally, large data volumes can be processed effortlessly and the results distributed in professional dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caplena?

Some useful features are only available in premium versions. Editing uploaded data has been somewhat cumbersome so far, but it has significantly improved with V3. Overall, the software sometimes seems a bit too complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Caplena helped us increase efficiency and quality. It also allowed us to perform large studies."
What do you like best about Caplena?

The user experience. The interface is really intuitive and user friendly and it surely helped increase adoption within our team. It allows us to easily code and categorise verbatim, review them etc

Then of course I like the time savings derived from the automated coding. Last but not least, I like that we can create dashboard to share with the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caplena?

I think the overall structure of how we save projects could be improved. They should learn from structure such as SharePoint. For now we can use tags but it’s not enough and sometimes there are bugs there. It would be nice to have a structure with folders, sub folders etc. It would be then easier to retrieve projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Barbara Houdayer of Caplena

Hi Andrea,

Many thanks for sharing your experience. We're delighted to read Caplena's user experience helped increase adoption within your team :)

Thank you for your feedback regarding folder structure. We have shared your comments with our Product Team. We are always eager to explore ways to simplify finding relevant insights and data, and we will take your suggestions into consideration.

"The best AI tool for Qualitative analysis"
What do you like best about Caplena?

The platform makes qualitative analysis fast and efficient with its smart categorization, multilingual support, and easy-to-use interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caplena?

While Caplena is an excellent tool, there’s still room for improvement in certain areas. For example, niche industry-specific terms sometimes require manual adjustments for more accurate categorization, and adding more advanced visualization options directly in the platform would make insights easier to present. Expanding the capabilities to include basic quantitative analysis alongside qualitative coding would also make it an even more powerful all-in-one solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Barbara Houdayer of Caplena

Hi Ram,

Many thanks for sharing your experience!

Your feedback matters to us. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on our new LLM Topic Assignment. It should provide improved handling of niche industry terms, reducing the need for manual adjustments and fine-tuning. Your feedback will be very valuable as this feature is currently in beta.

Also, have you already tried some of the new quantitative analysis elements we've launched within Caplena 3.0? When creating reports, you can now use the following insights elements: Numerical Distribution, Categorical Distribution, and Topic Breakdown.

If you have specific needs for more advanced visualization options, please reach out to André from our Customer Success team. We will consider them for future developments.

Kind regards,

Barbara
