This product serves as a centralized platform for collecting feedback from both internal and external sources, providing users with a single source to refer to and easily locate feedback. Customers have praised the ability to switch to a different product management tool after finding the current one lacking in functionality. The direct communication feature has been highly valued by users, allowing them to understand customer preferences and prioritize product development accordingly. This has bridged the gap between teams' assumptions about customer needs and the actual requirements expressed by customers. Employees and customers alike have appreciated the collaborative approach fostered by this product, as it allows them to contribute feedback and actively participate in improving products. By incorporating suggestions from customers and employees, it organizes the product development process, helping users prioritize projects based on importance and visualize project difficulty. Users have also found value in the enhanced visibility offered by this tool, which provides insights into customer priorities, improves customer communication, engagement, and relationships. Furthermore, various departments within organizations have successfully used this product to solve the challenge of prioritizing feature development, reducing conflicts and improving decision-making. Enhancement ideas gathered directly from end-users are regularly reviewed and estimated by the product team, followed by a leadership team assessment to determine their inclusion in development cycles. Overall, this platform has proven to be a valuable tool for gathering feedback, prioritizing projects, and building better products based on customer needs and preferences.

Easy Integration and Navigation: Users appreciate that the product seamlessly integrates with Pendo, allowing for effortless embedding in customer environments and smooth navigation by employees. This integration eliminates the need for customers to search for ways to submit feedback and ensures that employees can access the tool without any hassle.

Effective User Feedback Tracking: Reviewers have praised the Pendo products, including Receptive, for their ability to effectively track user feedback. The search and predictive matching features are particularly commendable as they make it easy to find and analyze feedback.

Actionable Customer Feedback Collection: Users have highlighted the product's capability to collect and aggregate customer feedback in a way that is actionable. This functionality enables teams and customers to collaborate on improving existing features and adding new ones. It also helps keep the company organized and ensures proper management of thoughts and ideas surrounding development.

Inferior Feedback Functionality: Some users have found the feedback functionality in Pendo to be inferior, buggy, and limited in its capabilities. They have reported encountering issues with its performance and experiencing limitations in terms of features and functionality.

Lack of Support: Users have mentioned that it is difficult to obtain adequate support for Pendo's feedback feature. They have expressed frustration with the responsiveness and availability of support resources when encountering problems or needing assistance.

Limited Prioritization Tools: Users have expressed a need for more comprehensive tools within Pendo to effectively sort, label, filter, and rank features. They feel that the current prioritization tools are lacking in functionality and do not provide sufficient flexibility for them to prioritize what should be developed next based on their unique requirements and priorities.

We use Pendo Feedback to collect enhancement requests directly from our users. My team reviews these on a regular basis and adds high-level estimates for effort. As a leadership team, we meet monthly to review all feedback requests and then determine what is going to be included in an upcoming development cycle. Not everything makes it in, of course, but this is a much better way to prioritize and expose requests that are coming through.
  • Easy collection of enhancement requests
  • Linking to Jira tickets for development priorities
  • Provides visibility for our customers into their priorities
  • Filtering in general is not easy
  • I would like to be able to create a leadership priority dashboard
  • I would like to know easily when something has been linked to Jira
If you are struggling with collecting and centralizing your enhancement requests, Pendo Feedback is a really great tool. It is front and center for your customers which allows them to feel heard and close feedback loops. It also allows our customer success team to refer back to what submissions have come from a particular account. With the SalesForce and ZenDesk integrations, we are able to have requests submitted within systems that our team uses on a daily basis and doesn't require them to log in to a separate system to capture these requests.
  • Able to tie costs to enhancement requests via Jira integration
When we've had issues with Pendo Feedback, we've been able to resolve them fairly quickly and efficiently.

We use Pendo Feedback as a bridge for our customers/prospects to suggest features that our software may not have or may do differently. This software is used across many departments and it helps us solve the big question of what, why, and when for building features. The tug of war of prioritizing is reduced significantly from this solution.
  • Organizing data from users.
  • Customize questions and users.
  • Manage priorities for our customers easily (intuitive).
  • Do not charge per user (we almost cancelled over that).
  • Get rid of or make the assumption of time and money saved more realistic.
Very good for situations where you have a lot of customers and not a great way of ranking/reaching those customers with things they want and why.

Less appropriate for a fulfillment tool to be used as an ongoing communication (customers complain about getting notifications from mass comments on requests).
  • Helped us understand customer priorities.
  • Provided us a way to weigh the value of a feature.
  • Given us a way to touch hundreds of customers in one comment.
  • Customers start to think we work on very little based on the number of requests compared to the number of releases.
The community feature is included, so it saves us some money. The reporting is nonexistent and that makes it a deal-breaker for us.
I have not had a lot of contact with support, but when I do it's quick and accurate info.

We use Pendo Feedback to gather enhancement ideas from our end users. Our support team directs any such ideas to Feedback, and we have a widget in our software that directs users there as well. Our product team - the product owners specifically - also use Feedback to help prioritize their work.
  • Allows end users to prioritize their requests - and shows them that prioritizing one de-prioritizes the others.
  • Provides decent reporting so I can see what users want filtered a variety of ways.
  • Has a great "director dashboard" I can use to show the CEO how much time it's saving us.
  • I wish I could customize exports; e.g. if I just want to export all items and the number of votes.
  • Managing my "team" users vs. end users is a little clunky.
This is a great tool for getting your end-users' enhancement ideas under control. It's self serve and the users figure it out very quickly. We are not integrating it with our other tools, so your product owners have to be proactive in connecting ideas captured in Feedback to work items (we use Jira, and just insert a link to the Feedback item into the Jira ticket.) The ability to mark an enhancement as "released" and instantly email all the users who were voting for it is great. I also love the ability to customize the emails that go to "subscribed" users when an enhancement idea's status changes.
  • We were managing these enhancements in our support ticketing system, using spreadsheets, and it was TERRIBLE. Being able to tell a user "Great idea! Submit it to Feedback!" has saved my support team hundreds of hours.
  • We have reduced incoming support requests when the request is really an enhancement - the ability to have a "Suggest Features" widget in our software sends users straight to Feedback.
  • Because we can make some fields required, we can cut down on the need to reach back out to our users for clarification.
The support team is great - responsive and helpful.
