What problems is Canny solving and how is that benefiting you?

The backlog is key for us, so we use Canny to understand how many customers are asking for which functionalities, and then we organize our sprints based on that information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Canny?

I like that I can easily communicate with my customers if a feature request is possible or not, and it notifies everyone who upvoted the post. I also love how I can easily merge feature requests that are similar, so all upvotes count under a single feature request. This tool helps us prioritize what we want to do next! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canny?

We get a ton of feature requests, and it can be a bit overwhelming for our small team to manage all the feedback. But at least we have a public place where customers can share their opinions and suggestions, so their ideas don't get lost in an email thread where we just thank them for their feedback and say we'll think about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canny solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us gather all the feedback we get into one public "forum" where customers can interact with each other. It kind of creates a sense of community too, especially when customers find workarounds for their feature requests together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kaman Hui of Canny

Hi Phil,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! Really appreciate your thoughtful review.

We are so glad to hear that Canny has been helpful for you from merging feature requests to helping with prioritization. If you ever need help getting more out of Canny, please don't hesitate to reach out. We’d love to help.

What do you like best about Canny?

I like that is it is much simplere than Aha and easier to understand with less going on. It lets me and the PMs who work for me easily stay on top of requests and allows our teams to participate. Customer support can use the intercom integration, and the rest of the team can easily create posts and vote from Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canny?

I really disliked the steps required to use the free trial I found it to be annoying. It is also a little difficult to see all of the new items. I see the ntoifications but having them in a checklist-type view would be incredibly helpful. Once I open the notifications they all get marked as read and it is easy to miss things.

I also wish it was more clear hwo to add a vote to something on behalf of another user. I wish I could update the states that show on the public view roadmap. I want to show the things that are not yet planned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canny solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are helping us keep track of the requests we get and the number of votes they receive. This helps us ensure that we are actually building high-impact user features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kaman Hui of Canny

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are glad to hear that Canny has been much easier to use than Aha for you! Also love to know that our Intercom and Slack integrations have been useful for your team.

I found Cannh to be a good solution for providing a public feature board for users to access. The integration with my app through SSO was quick & easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Canny?

Canny's semi-self governing feature upvoting tool has been really helpful, and lets us avoid having to manually tag feedback in intercom or product board to track requests.

It makes communicating directly with users really easy, and lets you notify people when you ship what they wanted which is something we had to do manually in the past.

The fact that it also comes with a changelog is something we discovered by accident, but it's been super helpful as well. We were looking for one! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canny?

Canny doesn't localize posts or the changelog. In general I think language support is the biggest gap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canny solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's a way for us to aggregate non-customer support feedback that would get lost if it was in intercom, and see what people want us to build next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kaman Hui of Canny

Hi Nikolas,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! So glad to hear you are enjoying our feature upvoting tool and changelog!

We hear you on the localization, and got some good news to share! We've actually released a Translations Beta for user generated content such as posts, comments, and changelog entries recently. To learn more about this new feature, check it out here: https://feedback.canny.io/changelog/translations-beta

We're always looking for ways to improve our product. We really appreciate your feedback and your support for Canny!

Cheers,

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Canny?

The ability to write posts that customers can vote on and interact with allows us to make customer-oriented decisions. It's super easy to use and integrate with other tools, and the customer support is absolutely phenomenal. They helped me right away when I needed it. We use it daily, and it was relatively easy to start and implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canny?

There isn't anything specific that I dislike. I wish I had access to some features that are not included in my plan, and the shift between plans is quite expensive, but the product itself is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canny solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Canny, we managed our feature requests internally using Monday.com. It was a big mess for the customer-facing representatives who had to vote on behalf of the customers. We had a lot of duplications, and it was unmanageable. We couldn't make smart and data-driven decisions based on what we had. Canny solved this amazingly by allowing us to create a clear, unified post and get direct feedback from the customers. Now, we can actually build a roadmap that is aligned with customer needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kaman Hui of Canny

Hi there,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! So happy to hear that Canny has been easy to set up and integrate. Our customer support team will be delighted to know they've been very helpful to you.

What do you like best about Canny?

I love how simple Canny makes it for our users and for admins to manage user feedback. Their UI for consumers gets down to the basics and ensures it focuses on a great UX for submitting ideas. I love all the integrations Canny has too (like with Zendesk), which makes it easy for our team to submit votes on behalf of users too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canny?

We get a lot of duplicate posts from our users. Not necessarily Canny's fault, but I wish they had better AI systems for helping a user find a topic already posted about or better AI for merging duplicate posts (which I know they are working on! More AI features would be extremely helpful (like auto-reviewing external sources of customer frustration like Zendesk and pulling in that customer feedback in a more automated fashion, using LLM analysis on ticket conversations) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canny solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem Canny solves for us is helping get a pulse of the problems our customers have. It also allows us to reach out to those users who expressed the issues to do better customer discovery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Julia Valade of Canny

Hi Keenan,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!

We are so happy to hear that Canny's simplicity and integrations, especially with Zendesk, are making the feedback management process smoother for your users and admins.

Your insights on how we can enhance our platform, particularly regarding AI capabilities for managing duplicates more seamlessly, are truly appreciated as we continue to improve Canny. Rest assured, we hear you loud and clear!

Your feedback is crucial in guiding our improvements, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share it with us!

Thanks again, and have a wonderful weekend!

Warm Regards,

Julia

What do you like best about Canny?

I like the integration with Slack. This has made it super easy for our team to view new posts. Previously we had team members "campaigning" for votes which gave us skewed results of the importance of new feature requests. The integration with Jira is also really helpful to update the status on the Canny post when it is updated in Jira. It eliminates the need for us to go back and forth. The integrations were very easy to set up, no technical knowledge is required to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canny?

I find the field options for individual posts limiting. It takes some creative uses of categories and statuses to organize the posts well. For example, some posts are selected for development, but others must be completed first in order for the update to be possible. Being able to link Canny posts together vs just merging would be helpful.

While adding labels can be helpful to be able to locate certain posts together - they can be frustrating to use. All labels are shown as capital letters on the post itself, however. If you create two labels "Alerts" and "alerts", they are duplicated in the filters list becuase of the differences in the letter cases.

The roadmap feature could be more robust. Individual requests are not usually added to our roadmap. There is an overall initiatve that we would include various updates in, multiple posts can be included in one update. It does not give a great overall picture unless you were to manually create several Canny posts. Which I mentioned above, cannot be linked together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canny solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our team is more easily to view existing feedback and make new posts. With the Slack integration it is preventing duplicate posts from being created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kaman Hui of Canny

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We love hearing that the integrations have been very easy to set up and helpful for your team.

Appreciate your thoughtful feedback on the field options, labels, and roadmap. I'll be sure to pass the insights along to our team. If you ever have any other suggestions or ideas for improvement, please do share them with us. Your feedback is incredibly important in helping us grow.

Thank you again for your review and for supporting Canny!

It is easy to use and I love that it integrates with our main tools. The posting and voting functionality is intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canny?

Some of the customizations are limited and the slack integration could be a bit more robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canny solving and how is that benefiting you?

Canny is helping us solve the problem of unorganized product feedback. This has helped us move away from directly reacting to each piece of feedback and looking at things more holistically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
