User Interviews offers a research platform to provide users a source of truth for participant management. The solution can be used to automate recruiting, scheduling, and contacting research participants. Users can choose to automatically distribute incentives in a selected amount, and participants can redeem their reward in the form of dozens of digital gift cards.
From my experience, I believe that Vision Critical offers the best software to manage an insights community. They are great to work with, and my opinion has only improved over time. However, that doesn't mean it is the best survey software overall. If someone simply needs to program and distribute surveys, this may or may not be the right solution. There are some other really great survey tools on the market that are competitively priced and offer very intuitive interfaces (like Qualtrics). If you are going to recruit people to answer surveys or provide feedback on an ongoing basis (re-contacting and engaging with the same people repeatedly), though, Vision Critical would be my #1 recommendation.
Really relevant for testing new product launches with customers. Often NPD fails to find the sweet spot of differentiation and impact (commercial or customer impact) and having the insights to test along the journey makes teams more agile and more motivated to trial new things without sinking over cost where you move from a concept to reality. Also helpful for studying different types of marketing impacts for longer-term campaigns on customer perceptions which are important measures of success beyond the commercial.

Good: - When one needs to recruit participants for User research fast. It’s particularly fast when someone doesn’t need niche sample - bad: - n/a (it’s difficult for me to say when I’m using it for 3 years with multiple clients and I’m a researcher. User interview does what I need)

The functionality when creating a new questionnaire is rather clunky, particularly when there are a few conditional factors in the logical flow; being able to see those factors and how they apply with some sort of other logical layout would really help when creating a longer survey.
There are quite a few steps that aren't intuitive when launching a survey, for instance all the various dates (launch date, reserve date, survey date, etc etc etc). If there were a description field if you hovered above labeled areas of sections that explained what this field was for that would really help
It doesn't help either that the entire site is grey; it's a cold environment to be in for a long time, and the simple design makes it seem more clunky than it probably really is.

Vision Critical often requires you to dump the data to a statistical program. I hate that step. You waste time, and improve the chance of data being lost, or changed.
I think there is a ton of room to improve, in things as simple as aesthetics and other areas of logical flow when it comes to creating and then launching a survey, as well as providing descriptors for what each field is referencing. For instance, there are like 5 date fields to be filled out, but no button near them that says "this date will determine _________" and I am not about to go back into the training module, which was confusing enough to FIND, let alone work through to find just ONE answer.
Absolutely fantastic support team. Willing to help you online through vast collection of how-to guides and resources, online via chatbox, or over the phone. Even though we were in different time zones, they were always available. Very helpful and knowledgeable

User Testing: - UI has the great feature of double screening that you can really select your participants based on the research requirements and they are not approved automatically.
Therefore not every question in the screener needs to be filtering.

Our use of Vision Critical's software has allowed us to dramatically increase the amount of research that we do, at a much lower cost. Since there is no incremental cost for each survey we field, we can ask many questions we wouldn't have been able to otherwise.
Our use of an insights community has also sped up the research process, allowing us to write, program, field and report on a survey within only a few days.
Because of the two advantages listed above, we have been able to listen closer to our customers' opinions.
From my position, it's having a positive impact on the people involved in planning customer-led projects - more innovation that is bolder, more confidence we are focussing on the right areas, less time trying to sign things off or dissect where things went wrong, or convincing leadership teams to keep the the testing.
