    Overall, IBM Watson Discovery is an amazing technology that we use with our clients to address various business problems, but the biggest challenge has always been about ingesting, analyzing, enriching, and searching huge collections of documents and allowing our end users and SMEs to be able to search for what they need to reduce the time and efforts spent daily on a manual search through various collections of documents. We have successfully managed to reduce manual work by over 80%, and now our SMEs are being used for the skills they have to gather insights rather than do manual work.

    Best suited to conduct remote interviews that are moderated and facilitated by the interviewer/researcher.
    Not the best if you want to do it unmoderated, there are much more sophisticated tools out there. Unfortunately, for a design research team that does both these kids of research, it can be hard to get budgets to get two softwares and hence the Unmoderated Feature can seem super undercooked and doesn’t really do the job.
    Otherwise it’s a great tool

    Cons
    IBM
    • I believe AI should be more flexible about providing data. However, it's understandable that you need to provide the details you need in a more specific and detailed way.
    • The interface could use more tweaking. Being new to the program, it was kind of hard to navigate.
    • Luckily, there was a customized feature of the dashboard that I could set up, and having something that you know where you are placed always feels familiar and comfortable.

    • Unmoderated interviews is still under cooked as a feature
    • The process of how participants have to download an app to start an interview is a large friction point for us

    Usability
    IBM
    IBM Watson Discovery has the best user capabilities and easily transform business decision-making portfolio. The automation system saves time used in data analysis as opposed to manual research that consumes a lot of time. The visualization across the dashboard enables my team to interpret complex data and use it to make reliable marketing decisions.

    Once you understand how the interface works, it works great, but there is a learning curve

    Support Rating
    IBM
    Similar to all IBM Watson and Salesforce product solutions, the overall support would be a 10/10. Their provided FAQ's help with frequently experienced issues and if still unable to figure something out, their customer service representatives are always super responsive. With instant chat functions available, it is easy to ask a quick question rather than sitting on hold.

    Discovery differs from its competitors due to the better ease of implementation and the high level of natural language recognition, it is equal in integration resources such as API and workflow or process pipeline, but it loses in the price for a high volume of documents and/or research. If you own or plan to use other services from the IBM Watson family, there is no doubt that Watson discovery is your best option. Another important point is if you plan to use a cloud or on-premise service (local server or private cloud).

    Zoom was way more expensive and it o is designed to other things apart from just running qualitative interviews. It also requires a different kind of approval and different approval processes to go through when trying to get it simply for qualitative research purposes.
    Lookback records, scribes, helps observe and provides a sentiment check as well in the price that it does

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • We find its Enterprise plan expensive for a country of LATAM. For US or Europe based businesses, looks great.
    • A Big Data and massive queries based company would find the service expensive. Maybe a flat price plan would be helpful.
    • Have you thought in making a cheaper plan where you take the learning from your customer's data to enrich your AI tool?
