Overall Satisfaction with Dovetail

We run a range of user tests and store them in Dovetail, and analyzing them with the built-in AI has been a massive time saver in tagging, transcribing, theme analysis, and overall analysis. Having them stored in one place with all these tools in one suite has been invaluable.

Pros

  • AI support of analysis.
  • Transcribing
  • Theme collecting.

Cons

  • We've experienced some slowness in the platform loading.
  • Onboarding and training (self training).
  • UI could use some work (some icons lack labels and are therefore not immediately obvious).
  • Massive time saving and therefore ROI on project.
  • Better quality output.
  • Improved productivity.
It has been a really big time saver and also a quality improvement in the output. The transcribing has been very accurate and captures different accents as well, which was great. AI highlight was incredibly powerful and saved us many hours in resource requirements and in understanding user requirements and experience.
Generally, time saving, improved ROI, and improved output. This has put user experience even higher in the priority order.
I think it's not as intuitive as it could be. Many things rely on just iconography, but because it's ambiguous, some features don't get used, as it's not clear what they do. Maybe add a label below them?
N/A - we got recommended this by an expert and never looked back.

Do you think Dovetail delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Dovetail's feature set?

Yes

Did Dovetail live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Dovetail go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Dovetail again?

Yes

It's been a massive time saver at scale for what used to be very manual and complex tasks - finding themes in videos and transcripts. It will help any team save time, and therefore it feels like a base requirement for user experience teams.
