Cint Reviews & Product Details

I use Cint for Global Respondent Sourcing & Survey Fielding, primarily due to its ability to rapidly reach over 200 million verified respondents across more than 130 countries. What I like most about Cint is its unprecedented global scale and deep audience reach, which I see as the biggest competitive advantage. This allows me to launch large-scale quantitative surveys, with over 10,000 respondents, in days instead of weeks. This speed is crucial for agile brands and agencies that need to act quickly on insights. Additionally, I found the initial setup to be relatively simple and convenient.

I dislike the unreliable payout and redemption system for panelists, which I see as a critical long-term risk to sample quality. I really think they need to overhaul the payout system with real-time processing transparency. Adding a live payout tracker for panelists, with automated email or SMS alerts for every step like processing, approval, delivery, and clear error codes for failed transactions would help.

The setup experience was smooth and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, my experience with Cint has been positive. However, there are times when survey availability is limited, and improving survey matching could enhance the experience. Clearer communication around survey eligibility and response status would also help make the process smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Cint for its unrivaled panel reach and diversity—the world's largest and most diverse global research panel. It really stands out and isn’t just a 'big panel' but a globally distributed one. Besides that, the initial setup was relatively simple and convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like Cint’s limited agile research and small-batch flexibility. It seems like brands and agencies use Cint for large planned research but tend to abandon it for agile tools when it comes to small on-demand projects. This creates disjointed research workflows.

I really appreciate Cint's Gold-Standard Data Quality Control, which ensures all quality control processes adhere to ESOMAR/MRS research standards and global data protection regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and PIPEDA.

Relatively high cost: Compared to other panel recruitment platforms, Cint is relatively expensive and does not publish pricing online, which may increase the research costs for companies. This could pose some pressure for companies or projects with limited budgets. The initial setup of Cint may present some challenges for market research novices or those with weaker technical skills. For example, integrating with other software may involve some technical interfacing issues, such as data format matching and interface setup, requiring more time to learn and try, and possibly needing to seek technical support to complete. Additionally, when utilizing Cint's advanced features, there may be some difficulty in understanding and operating them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
