Overall Satisfaction with Confirmit
My company uses the Confirmit Horizons platform to distribute and display the results of customer satisfaction surveys for one of our major clients. It is being used by the client through our research department and provides access to view, interact, and analyze current and historical data to help their teams make informed decisions instantaneously.
Pros
- The project/account managers have done a good job helping translate our program needs and requirements into functional/effective tools.
- The Authoring account has been one of the most useful tools of our package with Confirmit. As a professional user I am able to manage individual users within our clients database. I can customize each users access to determine how much information they should have access to.
- The how-to-guides that are available to help explain the software are very useful. When first introduced to the Horizons platform there were some growing pains trying to learn the ins and outs of the reportal. I was able to go into the guides and find exactly what I needed without having to reach out to the support team.
- The reportal solution has been extremely useful for monitoring and managing our clients' Voice of the Customer program. It provides our users access to the most recent survey results in an easy to understand format using customizable filters and tables. It isn't overly complicated and is very user friendly.
Cons
- Rarely, there have been data integrity issues using the Reportal and Active Dashboard. From our experience are usually programming flaws but for some reason there is no clear flow between the data expected to be displayed in these platforms.
- Communication back and forth can be a challenge sometimes. Not every client of Confirmit's has a technical background in software which I think they sometimes forget.
- After the growing pains of the transition we have been able to get results to our clients faster.
- We have had rare instances of negative feedback from users given the data integrity issues.
No experience using a similar reporting tool.
Evaluating Confirmit and Competitors
Yes - Technically we replaced one Confirmit system for another. We transitioned from the CustomerSat platform to the Horizons platform because of user accessibility. Horizons was to be a more user friendly atmosphere for viewing data.
- Product Features
- Product Usability
Product usability was key.
We would need to evaluate the backend processes and what goes into making the platform "more user friendly".
Confirmit Support
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Kept well informed Support cares about my success | Escalation required |
Yes - Project complexity requires more than technical support occassionally.
Yes - Yes, we were having issues with users not being able to access the system via Internet Explorer. It turned out that these users had very out of data versions of the program and that all they needed to do was update them. Support had this taken care of within minutes of the request.
