Overall Review Sentiment for Discuss

If I remember correctly, I believe the rep's name was Kevin, but he was so pleasant to troubleshoot with. Usually you deal with a bot with such things so again chatting with a human made it way easier and less frustrating. We were able to solve the problem in no time which was another plus. 5/5 completely satisfied with the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only negative was when booking a respondent, I put the wrong date and immediately changed it after noticing it. Discuss.io notified me that we might incur a fee because the first day and time I put it was within 24 hrs of booking it, so because the change was "short notice," we run the chance of getting charged.

Discuss.io is far and away the best video research platform available. I have tried many other platforms and discuss.io the best. The tech build is just smart and it is genuinely designed with research teams in mind.
It has everything you could need in a platform and more. the interfaces for clients, recuriters, moderators and participants are all seamless and easy to use. The support teams are always helpful and prompt.
I use it for every project, and refuse to go back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm not totally sold on the AI features yet. I'm excited to see how they continue to improve.
I'd like an easier way to send recordings to clients without giving them full accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of the things I love most about Discuss is the customer service. They are quick to respond and helpful. I know that I can count on them, and that gives me so much reassurance when running projects. Most of the time, I have clients on the back end, and it is so important that things run smoothly. I also love the training resources and the newly developed Discuss University. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Occasionally, I get a tech for my session who does not go above and beyond. I will leave it at that. Right now, the discussion guide questions do not provide everything I am looking for, but I know they are working on this. Discuss is constantly making its product better by listening to clients. I have seen so many improvements in the last year! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like most about DiO is the ability to connect with consumers on a specific segment or specific part of the world very quickly. This really helps to get valuable insights in an agile way. For example, if I have a burning missing consumer understanding needed very quickly, I can rely on finding the right consumer on a good timescale with DiO. It also helps not just CMI people but people in the whole organisation to get very close to consumers and talk to them directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The flip side of this is the fact that you will need to find time for you (or a team) to do the job - the interviews and/ or the main learnings. It'd be great if we could rely more on automated reports to help us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is very intuitive and easy for new users, clients, viewers to navigate. Honestly, while "training" is available, it's not necessary! Customer support if I have a question is always ready to help, friendly, and knowledgeable. Love the new-ish Self Capture feature. Really adds value to our projects, adding other layer of pre or post learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish there were more features akin to what we are used to on Zoom and Teams... filters, blur or change the background. Nothing essential, just nice to haves! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy set up, fabulous tech support personel who just get it, rarely any tech problems, clear and easy to share stimulus, great to get respondents to provide individual and collective feedback.
I love the reassurance you get with knowing a tech person is on the other end to help out. They are always updating and improving the product. Innovation is strong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's tough to figure out the best way to use the save tags, too many, too few, different titles, but once you know what you're doing it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Receiving multiple emails, texts, and calls to ensure that I was prepared for my session; the link to my session was at the very top of the emails, not hidden in the body; and the date and time information were also very easy to find. I've used several platforms since, and Discuss still has the smoothest experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I didn't have any problems whatsoever. From booking the session to preparing for the session to execution and ending of my session, it was probably the smoothest video meeting platform I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As an interviewer, the interface is pretty straightforward, easy to use. If the goal is to have the platform transparent to interviewer and interviewee, Discuss.io is pretty close to ideal. Audio and video controls and quality are simple. Quality of audio and video during the session were better and more consistent than other platforms, though not perfect. Quality of download file audio and video were acceptable. The clipping tool is exciting but with the volume of interviews we did, I'm not sure I have time to use it. Chat and support features are good, easy to find. Tech support was solid - we had them launch each interview and after that scarely needed them. Downloading session videos was likewise easy. Fortunately for me, our logistics people dealt with the project setup and logistics so I was spared of that. That said, they did not complain so it could not have been too bad. We did about 90 IDIs on the platform and there were no issues re volume, scheduling concurrent interviews, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The quality of the transcripts was not great - better than others, but not as good as some. Plenty of room for improvement in terms of consistency of formating (some were formatted properly, others were a single long unbroken paragraph), and in terms of dealing with crosstalk.

I tried Discuss as guest user for some customer intereviews my firm was conducting as part of a client research project. Their vendor provided a brief training on the platform, and I did see the benefits of using it over something like Zoom, which is what we typically use to conduct interviews. In this instance, we chose to use Discuss so our client could observe the interviews live without the participants' knowledge, which is not possible on Zoom. In addition, I liked how you could upload the visual stimuli directly on the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Whilst Discuss includes a lot of features helpful for qual research such as a "back room", live chat, option to share stimuli and recording functionality, I found the user interface to be confusing and difficult to navigate whilst conducting the interview. For example, when I was sharing the stimuli, that took over the majority of the screen, and then I also to be able to see the participant, the chat (in case my clients asked additional follow-up questions), and my dicscussion guide. This felt crowded and a bit overwhelming to reference all of these at once whilst also leading the discussion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most helpful thing has been to have a team of highly qualified professionals who are always available to offer useful training courses. Discuss.io offers an easy-to-navigate interface that makes it simple for users to set up, manage, and conduct market research projects. The platform also integrates various research tools like video conferencing, survey modules, and transcription services. These tools are seamlessly incorporated into the platform, reducing the need to juggle between multiple software solutions. Finally I would also like to mention as a huge like that Discuss.io provides multilingual support, which is critical for global research projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall, while Discuss.io is a robust platform, it can occasionally experience technical issues, such as connectivity problems, audio/video lag, or platform crashes, particularly when many participants are connected, or when heavy materials are being shared. Although these issues are infrequent, they can disrupt live research sessions when they do occur Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
