Autodesk Vault is doing a very good job in managing documents, checking in and out files, tracking all versions and revisions that are made. All of these are are done automatically so users dont need to spend time to do it. Autodesk Autocad and Autodesk Inventor are automatically updated with changes made in Autodesk Vault.

Very good for a research repository where researchers need to go back and reference or search for studies. Especially helpful for a large team with many sub-teams and many stakeholders. Maybe less helpful for a smaller team, but really, I think anyone seeking a research repository and easy video transcription and transcription tagging would find it helpful

Chat to docs is a powerful feature for validating stakeholder ideas and providing real user insights, next to a summary and doc I can send along in as little as 5 min.
The flexibility of the database works for multiple types of org cultures (e.g,. one that is more eng. centric likes things organized by feature, whereas more user centric orgs can easily tag and adjust for user themes and needs)
Dynamic highlighting and auto suggest has improves and saves a lot of time manually tagging user quotes and interviews.

Dovetail tends to suggest themes based on what 1 user has said. As a UX Researcher, I cannot use this data because there isn't enough evidence to justify it. I need to see larger patterns across more users.
I find the channels incredibly hard to identify themes - the UI is super confusing, and I've never managed to get my head around it, so I just ignore it.
I wish the 'published' button would come back in Docs. Right now, Docs show up in search results while we are still drafting them and don't want them visible to the organization yet.
On the Contacts page, I need to be able to search by any of the fields (and not just the name).

We are currently evaluating this tool and it would depend on the "usage credit" model that Dovetail is moving toward. Depending on our current usage and the cost change that might occur with that, I would assume there is a likelihood that we may not renew. I would like for us to renew, however it is up to our product financial decision makers

Vault is very easy to use. It works directly with Autodesk design products like Inventor, Autocad Electrical and AutoCAD, so for CAD users the workflows (check-in/check-out, version control, BOM management) feel familiar and streamlined. It's very good in managing files, revisions, and data security. All our users generally appreciate having a central repository for engineering data, as we have several offices across the globe

It takes a lot of getting used to in order to effectively navigate the folder structure, project tabs, project views, etc. It's why I haven't been able to just hand over access to a project manager or leader and trust that they will be able to find value quickly. Because of this, usage and value has been restricted mostly to the UX team.

Regarding performance, I would say it’s satisfactory. Adding data and transcriptions is really fast and efficient, and can be done in the background, so I’m never hindered by these aspects. However, all the new AI-generated features are still somewhat slow to run. It’s nothing major, but it should improve in the future.

Autodesk Support for Vault is very good and fast. The quality of support depends heavily on whether users are working with a Value-Added Reseller (VAR) or Autodesk directly. In my case I am the support specialist for Autodesk Vault at my company and have full support from them. Also, having subscription is important

Support was good, especially when it comes to the capability of your support agents and engineers. But as i am located in Europe, the difference in the time zone made it hard to communicate with your offices and kept my work way back

The training went very well, and we co-built it to really address our needs. I also think it was beneficial to have feedback coming from someone other than myself (since I manage the tool), as it helped reinforce the points I wanted to highlight. The team’s feedback on the training was very positive.

A great tool for the designers to monitor their work, they can track the entire the entire product development cycle from the beginning to the the design competition and if any revision or correction is required they can do it instantly, furthermore it also offers cloud based hosting service. It offers transparency by providing unique user access and login options

We currently have access to both of the listed programs through our company, but they were lacking in the ability to either accurately transcribe the interviews (which would lead to extra effort and time going in to correct the transcription errors) or would not analyze interviews at all and could only handle text which, again, would rely on accurate transcriptions to get insights and analysis. Having it all-in-one was the much better option.

Management is quite straightforward; it’s easy to change access if certain stakeholders need to use it. The repository features are accessible to all teams, making it a good entry point into the tool. The more people use it, the more powerful the tool becomes, so it seems truly scalable to me. The limits are more financial, in terms of accessing additional features.
