For Product departments, it will help to organize customer insights in one place, and give transparency to the prioritization process to customers and internal stakeholders. While giving tools to track, report, and communicate in a really simple way closing the loop from the input of an idea to the stage of accepting/rejecting and the overall result.
Our Product Management team implemented UserVoice to use internally to track client feedback on our software. It was used alongside our Customer Experience team. Anytime we (Customer Experience) received feedback, we logged it in UserVoice to help the Product team decide which features were most important and to help build their roadmap. Prior to UserVoice, we didn't have a place to log these ideas and they would simply get lost or fall through the cracks.
Pros
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.
Cons
I'd love to see more integrations, including one with our support system, Help Scout.

UserVoice is well suited if you field a lot of feedback and ideas from clients. If you are a company who is building your software based on customer feedback, it is important to have a place to store and organize this feedback. I think UserVoice is ideal for a company whose feedback comes into one team but needs to be passed along to another (i.e Support to Product). UserVoice is also great for companies that are growing and growing their product quickly.
UserVoice is used by our support team to answer users' questions and provide information as needed. It helps us manage our support tickets and provides a way for our learners to easily provide feedback.
Pros
Allows us to quickly and easily manage users' questions and provide answers and feedback.
Allows us to create a knowledge base, which helps us answer frequent questions more quickly. It also allowed us to create a FAQs page for our site.
Agents can easily be assigned to different tickets and it's clear who is responding to what ticket.
Cons
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
For a small support team, it's an excellent price for what you get. In my research, other similar companies offer a lot more bells and whistles but for a lot more money. And we really don't need all those other features.
We used UserVoice as a tool to keep track of tickets submitted by our customers or staff. Ted Atwood, the previous owner of Polar Technology, created a refrigerant tracking software system. There is a TrakRef Help button that when the customers or staff need some type of support they submit a ticket which forwards an email to UserVoice. I had access to login and take care of the needs depending on the tickets. I really liked it a lot. Great to have in the office!
Pros
Organizing data
Detailed dashboard info
Very easy to navigate
The personal profile is a plus
Cons
I can't think of anything
Likelihood to Recommend
In times when customers need confirmation of a ticket, it is very easy to look at all tickets to make sure an issue was handled.
UserVoice is being used by 3 new products at Angie's List as a support tool and feedback collection tool. It helps us efficiently escalate internal and external customer issues and ideas to the appropriate individuals.
Pros
Feedback collection- UserVoice is great as a feedback collection tool. It solves the signal vs. noise problem by having users consolidate their feedback by suggesting they up-vote other's ideas rather than submitting a duplicate. This allows a product manager to figure out which ideas are the most commonly requested, without additional work.
User engagement- UserVoice gives product managers a means to communicate with their most engaged users who submit ideas. Anyone who has submitted or upvoted an idea can receive emails when a product manager comments on an idea or changes it's status. It's tremendously rewarding for a consumer to see their idea voted up and then adopted by an organization.
Cons
Some of the functionality is a bit limited for enterprise organizations. For example, you can only have 1 system-wide knowledge base.
Likelihood to Recommend
UserVoice is well suited for organizations that are comfortable sharing their product development feedback with their community of users. For companies that are in a highly competitive space, this may present a risk.
I have used a lot of support systems in my day, but this is the best. At Exec we used UserVoice exclusively to manage all of our internal operations and support. We found it super easy to setup and use (no training required for our staff) and was reasonably priced. It was especially important how well it worked with, and looked just like, regular email.
Pros
Automation through their API
Statistics of Customer Service Requests
Integration w regular email
Cons
Login system
Likelihood to Recommend
UserVoice is the easiest support system to use and implement
I've been working as a Product Manager on various SaaS platforms, and over the past 3 years UserVoice has played an essential role in guiding my product decisions. The array of tools they offer really makes it easy to collect user feedback in a less intrusive way. Most importantly, end-users love the feedback UI, too, and seem to keep continue engaging without me having to solicit feedback over and over again. I've tried other solutions out there - Zendesk, GetSatisfaction, IdeaScale... Nothing worked as well as UserVoice.
Pros
Feedback gathering
Cons
Bulk idea management
Likelihood to Recommend
We use their Feedback platform to guide product roadmap planning.
Intuitive interface for public-facing users to submit, vote on, and give feedback.
Ability to design, configure, and white-lable the system to suite your company's needs.
Access controls to manage feedback from employees separately from customers.
Setup and manage how feedback flows through the product improvement process (planned, under development, completed, etc).
Cons
May be a challenge to use across multiple product lines in a single instance.
Customers used to a more traditional product support process may not use the system as much.
Not likely to replace message boards and other customer engagement tools.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
