Frill vs. UserVoice

Frill is well suited for beginner or mid-level startups looking to get customer feedback on their products. If a business has a really well-suited product pipeline filled with features and is confused which one to build first, Frill is a really nice platform/product to have. You can get direct customer feedback and you can finally work on things that matter the most. It is less appropriate for someone who doesn't have a big product feature pipeline or roadmap in their mind.

UserVoice can be an affordable and powerful tool to start engaging customers and employees. It can help manage the entire feedback loop process. But your product management and development teams still need to do their jobs. Remember to have a response SLA in place and ownership for prioritizing and responding to the feedback.

• The announcement section is really good. I can add images, edit the text and announce something important.
• The roadmap section where we could tag them as per the stage the feature is in. Example: In progress, shipped, etc.
• Ability for user to upvote on their favorite ideas.

• User interface is very simple. Learning the product and teaching the team how to use the product took hardly any time at all.
• Gives visibility into what others are logging. We are able to append 'votes' to certain ideas, rather than having to create an existing idea from scratch.
• Reporting. Tags allow to easily filter through ideas for roadmap planning.

• They could have added more functionality like ideas section. May be a dedicated section where people can share bugs.
• Ability to collect feedback from different sources.
• Product change log section could also be good to have.

Incentivized

• Doesn't always catch obvious spam/we have to do a fair amount of blacklisting
• Doesn't have multiple language options
• No online/email tech support available. You have to call if you have an issue.

I just really liked UserVoice.

The day-to-day usability is good. More technical settings require a bit more effort.

Always very responsible and helpful when an issue happened. They eat their own cooking when it comes to using their products.

Have clear goals and owners established before you start using any tool like this. Very important to get accounts and rights setup so that there's no lag time in customer response once things go live. Make sure IT is involved if you plan to use the Single-Sign On (SSO) or any of the access control tools.

I like the ease of integration into web and mobile apps for UserVoice. It's also a comprehensive bug reporting, user feedback, and knowledge base tool.
