Evalueserve, a multinational headquartered in Switzerland, offers Researchstream, a research approval workflow management platform supporting requests and submissions, reporting, document repository and knowledge management, and feedback.
It is great for organizations that want to ensure that the work they focus on is the work that will have the most impact on value and drive them toward their strategic objectives. I consider it to be a real Product Management tool. If all you are looking for is a tool to hold your product backlog or collect customer feedback, then Aha! is probably going to be overkill for your needs

Evalueserve Researchstream is very helpful for creating presentation slides that require a lot of time to create but where all of the necessary data and information for the slide can be found on the internet. The service is also very helpful for industry research that requires consulting many different sources and compiling and synthesizing the information. Evalueserve Researchstream is much less appropriate for creating any materials that require confidential information to be shared as the team is not under an NDA and thus cannot be made privy to such information.

Aha! is an all around product management suite. It is great for breaking product plans into initiatives, features, and user stories. This helps the organization understand the product plan and what is driving individual work items. Unlike Jira and project management tools, it helps you prioritize by major themes, features, and releases. Once you start to use it, you can't go back to a project management tool because the views for organizing and prioritizing features just isn't there.
Aha! also excels at idea management. You can create a portal for users to submit ideas and manage them through a workflow. Users can submit ideas through a variety of channels, including email, ZenDesk, and SalesForce. You can even attach account values to an idea submitted through SalesForce, though the UI in SalesForce is a little kludgy. This is a great feature for those that have the capacity to manage feedback this way, but be aware that it takes time to manage.
Aha! works pretty well with Jira so that project managers can have their backlog that is understandable to the business and engineering can break down those work items however they want.
Aha! also has a lot of useful integrations: Slack, ZenDesk, Zapier, etc. It also integrates with every major software project management tool on the market: Jira, Pivotal, Rally, Redmine, and TFS.

The final product sent to me was, at times, lacking enough detail or appeared hastily done.
The databases and information platforms the Evalueserve Researchstream team has access to are limited, which limited the scope of what I could request and diminished the usefulness of what was sent to me.
The Evalueserve Researchstream portal is not the most intuitive or easy to use. If I had not received a tutorial by an Evalueserve Researchstream team member, I would have struggled to understand how to properly uses the services offered by the Company.

I think Aha! works really in general, it offers a very comprehensive and well-structured platform that supports strategic product management at scale. Although there is a learning curve for new users and a few areas to be improved. Overall, it is highly usable for experienced product teams who need a robust roadmap tool.

We've always had excellent support whenever we need help from the company or need questions answered regarding the setup and installation of the product. Tickets are answered in a timely fashion and there's minimal back and forth to get issues resolved, which are rare.

In terms of outright features, a lot of roadmapping tools have the same feature set. We chose Aha! based on look-and-feel, the easy learning curve, and the reviews it has. Between collaboration, milestone tracking, comment threads, and content importing and exporting, we had every feature in Aha! that we were looking for.

My company ran a trial with Evalueserve Researchstream. During that trial, those at my company, including myself, used Evalueserve's services and were pleased with the product and helpfulness of their team. We also knew Evalueserve Researchstream had a record of helping similar, quality firms in the areas we wanted to use Evalueserve Researchstream for. So, my company moved forward with Evalueserve Researchstream, particularly in light of the fact my company did not find any other direct competitors offering the specific services it needed Evalueserve Researchstream for. My company, however, does use other services, including, but not limited to, Bloomberg and Refinitiv Eikon, for research, insights, and analysis to supplement Evalueserve Researchstream.

It has helped us improve our product lifecycle communication. We have less wasted time spent figuring out where the project is and what it's waiting on. This has helped departments further down the project better use their time so they're already aligned with what's happening rather than waiting for a handoff.
Aha! has helped include our customers more in our product planning and especially in our bug fixes and new feature roadmaps.
Aha! has improved our strategy meetings or roundup discussions by storing everything in one place. They're shorter and more focused.

Evalueserve Researchstream has saved junior staff at my company an immense amount of time that would have otherwise been spent on repetitive, lower-value tasks, which has helped with junior work-life balance
Evalueserve Researchstream has allowed for more time and focus to be spent on higher value-add and revenue-generating activities
Evalueserve Researchstream has given my firm an increased capacity to explore new markets and verticals for growth; the initial screening that the Evalueserve Researchstream team carries out is a helpful component of my company's analysis of such new areas
