Pros

“It was a near 4x leap in costs to maintain parity with what we had before to maintain our existing repository structure.”

Emi F.

User Experience Researcher

“The best part about Dovetail is how seamlessly I can curate and share user insights with stakeholders.”

Emi F.

User Experience Researcher

“The auto transcribe feature, AI insights, and ease of tagging content allows us to prioritize building better features while never losing a use case or pain point in the sea of content.”

Dani H.

UX Designer

Pros

“It helped me organize and analyze my qualitative data, allowing me to identify meaningful insights, patterns, and perspectives that I had not previously considered.”

PHAEDRA P.

Student at USW

“I used a particular qualitiative methodology that required the transcripts to be divided into smaller sections ( "meaning units") as a first step and then paraphrased or "transformed".”

Rob L.

Consultant

“To be honest, I struggled to understand the concept of coding in qualitative data analysis despite doing a lot of research, but watching their short video helped me quickly grasp the concept and overcome that challenge.”

Rahaf M.

Math Teacher

Cons

“They've been developing many new AI-powered features that are recouping some of that value, but those are available on ALL paid plans, so it feels a bit hard to justify the shift (or at least it stung dearly as an existing customer).”

Emi F.

User Experience Researcher

“The navigation within the app can sometimes be confusing, and we've struggled to expand its use cases. While we use it extensively for processing user interviews, other types of feedback are kept separate, which creates some friction that we haven't been able to resolve yet.”

Erica F.

Senior Product Manager

“I'm all for adopting new technology, but the AI features are annoying, unreliable, inaccurate, and now I can't easily search for simple information like in what Notes the word "bulk" appeared.”

Olivia H.

Principal User Researcher

Cons

“I tried using the AI feature and did not find that it gave me a lot of assistance since it only used "some" of the coding and made choices and inferences I did not agree with.”

Eric L.

Researcher

“However, I faced some difficulty when trying to view and navigate my project, which led me to create multiple projects before I could locate mine.”

Rahaf M.

Math Teacher

“However, it is technically annoying to code this in the UI, so I understand that it might not be worth it as a feature.”
