Research managers are great to work with. Discuss is a great solution for in-house research teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discuss?

Research services was able to find hard to find audiences and screeners. Allowed for review and re-fielding if there any unusual respondents. Very good service for the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Platform with Some Limitations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Discuss?

I appreciate the different features of the Discuss platform, particularly the discussion guides, tags, and the AI. The ease and clarity of accessibility make using the platform very pleasant, especially for navigation in the context of optimized qualitative study. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discuss?

Observers cannot access the features to assist moderators. They cannot check the discussion guide questions and cannot tag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jackie Holiwell of Discuss

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We’re really glad Discuss feels easy to use and flexible for your consumer studies, and that training and live support help your team feel comfortable going into sessions.

For the Personal Meeting Room, moderators who are project owners, editors, or collaborators with a seat can open the room anytime from the project overview. If not, someone on the project with access can start the room and share the link so the moderator can test things ahead of time. Feeling prepared before a live session makes a real difference, and we want to support that!

If you’d like to talk through this further or explore the best setup for your team, please reach out to your Discuss representative. They’ll be happy to help!

"Seamless Qualitative Data Collection Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Discuss?

The ease of use for respondents and clients. It really makes the setup of sessions so easy, I dont have to wrry about observers and respondents interacting. I dont need to worry about client data being compromised and respondents feeling intimidated by seeing a lot of observers on the call. I love the translation functionality, the support team has been exceptional and has made running a project so easy! It is easy to setup, implement, update and run the sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discuss?

There's no specific thing. The system really works well for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jackie Holiwell of Discuss

Hi Thandiwe,

Thanks for the review! We're thrilled to hear Discuss is helping make your qualitative research smoother, safer, and easier to manage! Reducing complexity, protecting privacy, and enabling seamless translation are exactly what we aim for.

It's also great to hear our support team and AI tools have helped speed up your process and reporting. That's the kind of impact we love to see!

We appreciate you being part of the Discuss community and look forward to supporting your next project!

"User-friendly with great support"
5/5
What do you like best about Discuss?

Discuss has a great user interface, a library of resources, and active support. It allows a lot of manual input while also offering automation and support when needed. It brings together the moderator, project manager, recruiters, and viewers in a very cohesive way. It integrates with Google and Outlook calendars, which helps a ton. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discuss?

There's nothing I don't like. I have had some miscommunication during project setup. I'm not always sure which settings to toggle on and off and what it will mean for the project overall. I'm learning with experience. You have to think really thoughtfully about what access each team member will need, and it's been somewhat of a juggling act to nail down who does what (who will send respondent invites, etc.), but we're getting it, and the support is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kendra Gray of Discuss

Hi Serenity,

Thanks for the review! And for calling out some of the ways Discuss is helping your whole team work better together! Whether its moderators, recruiters, clients/observers, we've built the platform to bring everyone and everything into one space that makes it easy. So glad to also see that the calendar integrations has been helpful as well.

Regarding the ways to use the platform, we'd strongly encourage you to reach out to your dedicated Discuss representative to learn more about how to maximize the platform for your unique use cases!

Appreciate you being part of the Discuss community and for sharing what’s working, and what we can keep improving.

Hi Melisa,

Thank you for the recommendation and for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear you found Discuss easy to use and user friendly. Creating a smooth, intuitive experience for participants is a priority for us!

Bluetooth headphones should work with Discuss, so the issue you ran into may have been related to device or browser settings. Our support team is always happy to help troubleshoot in real time if that comes up again.

"Easy Invites and Unique Role Links Make Moderation Effortless"

When I screen share, I need to view 2 screens. This should be better integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Support, Seamless Communication Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Discuss?

I like that there is always a tech support person to help. I also appreciate that the microphones and cameras always work. The initial setup of Discuss was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discuss?

I find that iPad users cannot screenshare on Discuss, which is a bit frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jackie Holiwell of Discuss

Hi Rafaella,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad setup felt easy and that having live tech support available gives you confidence during sessions. Reliable audio and video matter, especially in HCP research.

For iPad users, screen sharing works through the mobile screen sharing option rather than standard desktop sharing. If you haven’t tried that yet, it may help. We also recommend talking it through with your Discuss representative, who can help make sure everything is set up smoothly for your sessions.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback!
