I think Rybbon is a very good choice for a UX or Market research team. It's generally easy to use, easy to send gifts to almost any country, and their customer support is great. The only real weakness is in the reporting and dashboard. You'll have to do pretty much all of it in Excel. So unless that's very important to you, I can't really think of a better option than Rybbon.

Medallia
  • It provides a rating for customers to rank how satisfied or not satisfied they are with the service.
  • As an Account Manager, this is a helpful tool to hear customers' experiences and feedback.
  • It helps us manage our next steps because the tools also provide options to note the action taken and if the issue has been resolved or not.

Cons
Blackhawk Network
  • The main dashboard is not very useful for tracking your activity and spending
  • Website didn't seem super reliable. Would see downtime occasionally.
  • You can export reports to Excel but better built in reporting would be nice

Medallia
  • Our service model does not provide any ownership over the platform. We have to engage our Medallia Project Team to build surveys, troubleshoot issues, make changes to surveys, reports, and dashboards, resulting in long turnaround times and inefficiency.
  • Medallia charges for both "units" and users. "Units" are defined as named individuals in surveys, but don't have log-in privileges. In our case, they are customer service agents or business consultants that engaged with the client but are not part of our closed-loop case management process or access to the platform.

Medallia
Medallia's user interface is simple and intuitive for the end-user. Everyone in our organization from the CEO to store level team members use Medallia to see how we are delivering experiences for our customers. From an administrative side, I would rate Medallia closer to a 7.5, but this part of Medallia is not used as often post-implementation. That being said, you will need a technical/IT resource on staff or will need to pay a premium to a 3rd party to manage it for you.

Medallia
Medallia is always there to answer questions and/or support our needs. In some cases it does require a PO if the request does not fall under normal support, but that does not change the fact that they are very responses and available to support your needs

Both are good products, I honestly have no complaints with either of them. Rybbon's integration with Qualtrics is a definite plus.

Medallia
Medallia does not only gives us convenience. It also gives us an opportunity to solve real-time feedback and create real-time solutions. The platform is easy to use, with a dashboard that could help our agents check their progress on a daily basis. I am particularly impressed with the platforms' ability to provide high attention to detail without compromising the sleek design that gives a professional vibe.

Return on Investment
Blackhawk Network
  • Using the paid plan where you pre-pay fees up front definitely saved us money in the long run
  • It's a lot quicker and more manageable than using PayPal or Amazon gift cards
  • Their support team has probably also saved us time by helping recipients who have trouble redeeming cards instead of us having to do it

Medallia
  • It does play a big role when we are running a referral campaign. Referral greatly affects sales and retention since customers are bringing in new clients/customers.
  • It helps our organization keep track of the accounts that are most likely to churn by checking their feedback and knowing how we can improve our service.
