Loop Returns vs. UserVoice

I highly recommend Loop Returns to anyone who is looking for a new returns platform. Their solution is fantastic and the service they provide is top notch. However, budget may be a concern for some businesses as they are more expensive than other solutions. I feel they largely justify the cost increase with their support, but not all companies will feel this way.

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.

• Very solid base features
• Great team & support
• Easy to use interface

• 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.

• Benchmarks by industry could be improved
• Shop Now recommendations could be smarter
• Price could be a bit lower

• 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.

Loop Returns had a better core feature set than Returnly, which is why we selected them - though Loop Returns has since acquired Returnly, so this point is more or less moot.

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.

• We can track better how many ideas are accepted and released vs rejected ones.
