"Easy International Data Access with Great Reporting"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GWI?

Easy to get international data. Love the reports too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GWI?

The flipside of the international side is that the variables are sometimes limited, compared to other data sets. Also not all media channels are covered. example cinema and OOH are captured in a different ways so unable to compare like for like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GWI an intuitive, user-friendly, and very comprehensive tool"
5/5
What do you like best about GWI?

I like that it is very intuitive, with a very good user experience and design, that definitions can be dragged by blocks, that it quickly gives you universes and quick findings, that it is a very extensive catalog, and that everything is very standardized between waves and the reports it generates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GWI?

I think that during construction it's very easy to want to modify something and it's not so simple to make any changes in the audience. When consuming information, I always have to download the Excel file; it would be better if the consumption could be done within the platform, something like graphs, being able to mount them on pre-designed templates, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Significantly ahead of all other syndicated research databases"
5/5
What do you like best about GWI?

For many years I used the Kantar equivalent and this is so much better. The data is richer and the web interface is decades ahead of what Kantar has managed to put together after spending decades and millions on the project. Plus the prices are better and customer service too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GWI?

It still has a bit of a US bias and data on other countries sometimes run into sample sizes issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GWI is easy to use, some advanced features take time to master."
4/5
What do you like best about GWI?

Ease of Use:

GWI is really easy to use. I didn’t feel overwhelmed when I first logged in — everything is laid out in a clean and logical way. I was able to explore the main features without needing a bunch of tutorials or extra help.

Ease of Implementation:

Getting started with GWI was pretty smooth. The implementation didn’t drag on like I’ve experienced with other tools.

Customer Support:

I had a really good experience with GWI’s customer support. When I first started, i participate in a live tutorial session, which felt more like a personal class than a typical support call. They walked me through all the main features, answered my questions in real time, and gave me tips that really helped me get the most out of the platform. It made a big difference in how quickly I felt confident using GWI.

Frequency of Use:

I use GWI several times aday, and it’s become a regular part of my workflow. It’s reliable and easy enough that it doesn’t feel like a chore to log in and pull the data I need.

Number of Features:

GWI offers a good range of features. It covers most of what I need without being bloated with unnecessary options that would just slow things down.

Ease of Integration:

Integrating GWI with our other systems was surprisingly easy. It connected well with our existing platforms, and we didn’t run into major compatibility issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GWI?

Customization Limitations:

There are moments when I wish the platform allowed a bit more flexibility in how I view and segment data. Some customization options feel a little rigid compared to other tools I’ve used.

Saving New Charts is Less Intuitive:

One thing that frustrates me a bit is how saving new charts isn’t as easy as saving a new audience. When I'm building audiences, the saving process feels quick and straightforward — but when it comes to charts, it takes a few extra steps and isn’t as intuitive. Sometimes I’m not even sure if my work has been properly saved, and I have to double-check, which slows me down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
