"Easy to use research platform"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Discuss?

The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, and the ability to archive and search within the recordings and transcripts is very helpful. It's also great to be able to combine live interviewing with asynchronous activities. Respondents generally seemed to be able to join sessions relatively easily, and the tech support was good when there were minor issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discuss?

I would like to have more flexibility in structuring the asynchronous activities and facilitating different types of input from respondents, though it's possible that I just haven't fully learned how to use it properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kendra Gray of Discuss

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Discuss—we really appreciate it! We’re thrilled to hear that you find the platform intuitive and that its also meeting your needs from a data privacy standpoint as well.

Regarding your comment on async activities, you may have seen in our latest winter release, that we've just announced quant style questions for asynchronous activities, in addition to our existing open-ended question types. So, you'll be able to ask respondents multiple choice, rating, or ranking questions and receive the data visualizations post-survey to help you better analyze the data! If you're interested in learning more about this new capability, please reach out to your dedicated Discuss representative!

Thanks again for your thoughtful review, and don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s ever anything we can assist with!

"Innovative and helpful platform for interviewing"
5/5
What do you like best about Discuss?

Love the autotranscription and AI features. The whiteboard and clip-capturing features while interviewing also make it much easier to look back at important moments for analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discuss?

I wish there was a feature to toggle the search in the recordings tab. When searching currently, it searches for keyword matches across all projects, not just the current one. I rarely if ever need another project's matches, so they just clutter the screen.

Otherwise, More quantitative add-ins would be nice, but I know that the team is constantly working on new updates. I highly anticipate the asynchronous interviewing, quantitative, and evolved AI features that the discuss team is working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kendra Gray of Discuss

Thank you for your thoughtful review! It's great to hear that features like auto-transcription, Genie our AI Assistant, the whiteboard, and clip-capturing are making your research and analysis easier and more efficient.

We totally understand how being able to narrow your search to the current project in the recordings tab would be incredibly helpful. We’ll submit your request to our product team! In the meantime, if you have any questions about the search functionality, we wanted to share this help article which has some info under the “Search for Keywords” section: https://discussio.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4625232531089-Automatic-Research-Transcription#01J19H85W73824PD80H12EN8VE

We’re also excited to be bringing quant-style questions to our auto-moderated research capabilities as a part of our recent winter release. Can’t wait to hear your feedback on that once it goes live!

"Great Platform w/ lots of features"
5/5
What do you like best about Discuss?

I really like how interactive the platform for is. From the public chats, polls and whiteboards for the participants to the backroom chats for the research team and other observers. It's really easy to navigate. I also like the ready availablity of tech support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discuss?

There isn't anything that I actively dislike about it. The only problems that have ever come are due to user error on the part of the participants. That said, maybe some of the buttons for moderators could be a little more intuitive or just labeled with words instead of icons. When people are thinking quickly, recall for icons might be difficult, but reading a button that's labeled with a word might be more helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kendra Gray of Discuss

Thank you for the 5-star review!

It’s exciting to hear how Discuss is helping you save time and money while streamlining your online focus groups. It’s also great to know that features like polling, whiteboarding, and the backroom chat are helping you run rich, dynamic sessions. We're also glad that our tech support has been there when needed—our team is always ready to help ensure things run smoothly.

We appreciate your feedback on the moderator interface. Making sure our tools are intuitive, especially during fast-paced research sessions, is a priority. We’ll definitely take your suggestion about labeling buttons into account as we continue to refine and improve the platform.

Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we’re excited to continue supporting your research!

"Review of discuss io from an Account Management Perspective"
5/5
What do you like best about Discuss?

Discuss has been an invaluable tool for my team, it has allowed us to provide better service than something like zoom for focus groups. Providing higher value for my clients. My clients have generally found it easy to use as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discuss?

I cannot speak too much to the technical end, though having used it before - some clearer notice when you are in the backroom vs the group itself would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kendra Gray of Discuss

Thank you so much for the glowing 5-star review—we're thrilled to hear that Discuss has become such a valuable tool for you and your team!

It’s especially meaningful to know that we’re helping you deliver more value to your clients and that they're finding it easy to use too—that’s always a top priority for us.

We're also really grateful for your feedback on the backroom distinction. That's a great suggestion, we'll be sure to pass that along to our product team for further consideration.

Thanks again for your thoughtful review and for choosing Discuss—we’re so happy to be supporting your research!

Discuss was easy to use, implement, and integrate with my web browser.

"Experience with Discuss"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Discuss?

Discuss is a user-friendly platform, even for those without a market research platform. I also have nothing but good things to say about the customer support and the tiers are very useful to easily scale or include the larger team who doesn't need full account access.
