What do you like best about Condens?

I like the fact, that they are reactive to user feedback and implement the features in a timely manner. This makes our UX Research so much faster and easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

The speed of Condens combined with Grammarly. Long transcripts do not combine with Grammarly very well, but I feel like it's more like a grammarly problem, than Condens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is perfect solution for:

Storing videos

Transcribing videos

making video snippets

What do you like best about Condens?

- Easy to use platform, especially working well for tagging and synthesis.

- Great customer service, we are a small team, but they respond quickly and help resolve questions.

- So much more intuitive than Dovetail was for us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

- It would be great if there was a bit more collaboration opportunities for things like ranking assumptions to test and having stakeholders vote / thumbs up / react to findings, but I think that's probably coming with some of their upcoming releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed a place to centralize our research. This has given us a great area to work together as a team and with stakeholders. The interface is intuitive and supports our process well- particularly because we can create tags and qualitative insights simultaneously, which we couldn't do in Dovetail or Excel before that. The transcription works great for us, and we've even tried out their pilot translation feature which was a big time and money saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Condens?

Condens fits our workflow perfectly. The side-by-side view of analysis and artefact creation is a massive time save for us. The ability to adjust the size and placement of the video player has been brilliant for when listening to interviews vs usability tests where you really need to see the detail of interactions. The workspaces and repositories will give research a longer shelf life and help others to engage with all the learnings from the research team.

The whole team at Condens are SO helpful! They have helped us migrate our data from Dovetail which saved a massive amount of time and meant that we can still access all our existing research, but make it better with Condens. It's honestly been the best customer service I think I have ever received. They're helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

The transcription minutes allowance on the trial wasn't enough for our whole team to truly try out the tool, but having spoken to the team, they kindly gave us an additional trial of the product so we could fully assess if it was the tool for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has really sped up our analysis time & processing of data. As a consultancy we have clients wanting to know what is going on and what we have learned so being able to turn around insights quickly has really helped. It is also really flexible which helps everyone in the team be able to work the way they want to. We had previously been using Dovetail which was really rigid in its UI and workflow and it just didn't work for us. In summary, it has really helped our speed and flexibility in synthesising research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Condens?

Who loves great products and great customer support? I certainly do! I have always felt strongly that we should find people/companies doing the right thing and call them out rather than focusing on companies doing the wrong thing and calling them out. I just had such a wonderful experience with www.condens.io which we are using for user research and I wanted to share it with folks here. So far it has been better than any other tool for recording customer interviews, tagging the info in the interview and using it to generate insights. We were struggling with bringing in word docs that had our interview notes. I reached out through the in-app suggestion tool and got a response within hours. They told me the cut/paste from MS Word was a struggle for them but they would have a feature to import a Word doc very soon. Then 24hr later they send me a personal e-mail telling me the feature is done. I just tried it and it worked quite well. Retained enough formatting to make it easy to navigate the doc and tag the pertinent info.

I am so impressed with this new product Condens and the dedication the team has to their users. Way to go! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

Still work needed to improve the cut/paste from MS Word. The Import from MS Word is good enough to retain enough of the formating to be able to pull in old interview notes and consolidated research summary and get them properly tagged Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Annotating and tagging user / customer interviews. One can take interview notes and then tag them and use the data to generate very high-quality reports. The tool will also transcribe a video recording of a meeting and then you can skip the note-taking altogether and just tag the transcript of the meeting recording. The tool is mostly designed for UX Pros but we have started using it for Product Managers as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're using Condens for both its repository and qual analysis features. A few notes about each. As a repository, Condens has some great features like structured sections and attributes for projects, project and global tags, unlimited sharing of findings with stakeholders, search, etc. We still have a ways to go to fully make research visible in our org and leverage all Condens has to offer, but we're getting there.

I've recently been putting Condens' analysis tools through the paces and am very impressed with the synthesis workflow, especially the ability to take highlights (tagged notes or transcript pieces) and cluster them in a "conclusion". When a highlight is a tagged bit of video transcript, it's both a reusable video clip /and/ a unit of insight. You can even export a cluster of such clips to create a highlight reel! This is a very natural-feeling workflow with traceability back to raw data that I haven't seen anywhere else.

The software is fast and generally error-free. Any bugs I've encountered have been fixed quickly.

The last thing I'll mention is the excellent customer support. My questions are answered within hours and often lead to software changes. It's great to be in touch with the makers of the tool — one of the benefits of a product supported by a small team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

I hesitate to mention too many negatives about the repository since I haven't used all of the features here. In terms of analysis/synthesis, I think are some interaction design details that can be improved (many of which I've mentioned to the Condens team) to make the clustering feel effortless — but they're getting there. We've yet to determine the best way of creating insights that live beyond the context of a project — these might be "conclusions", but I'm not entirely sure. Again, this might be a function of our relative newness to the platform.

I'm very optimistic about Condens as a long-term platform for UX (and marketing) research — its analysis, storage, and retrieval to create a company-wide long-term memory of all we've learned about our customers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Condens is helping us analyze, store, and retrieve insights about our customers, from primarily qualitative data (moderated and unmoderated interviews). Ultimately it will lead to a reduction in the duplication of research work, the socialization of design research and customer knowledge, and better collaboration. It enables human-centered design, which is a process that leads to innovation and business value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Condens?

Very easy way to add videos and clips into reports to reinforce the insight you are trying to share. Great tagging system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

I would love a little bit of customization for the report feature as it can feel a little too much like a blog, when in fact you are trying to make the report attractive for the stakeholders. But anyway great tool, enjoying it so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Condens?

The user interface just is very intuïtive: we don't have to go through lengthy onboarding sessions with new colleagues. Also, their support: questions are answered quickly and thoroughly, we even had some ad-hoc feature changes implemented: never experienced that before! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

The weakest feature is the automated transcriptions, which we have applied for dutch spoken interviews. It does work: most of the time the context is correct, sometimes entire sentences are too, and then sometimes it's completely wrong. Can't say we have seen this work better elsewhere thou. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Condens:

As we are a bank in Belgium, being European GDPR compliant is an absolute must for our legal department; Condens not only is compliant, they have all documentation needed to process this through your procurement department, which saved us a lot of time.

Make sure someone is in the lead in setting up your project and maintaining the structure and planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Condens really boosts our user research and makes it possible to very easily share recorded quotes instead of textual summaries. This is a very valuable added value in our quest to create empathy for our end users within our organization. Also: it just takes less time to process an interview: when doing tens of interviews, this changes the weight of a user research scope and budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Condens?

You can tell that Condens is designed for UX Research. It has everything you need to analyze data from research sessions - transcriptions in a lot of different languages, a straight forward tagging system, the possibility to easily produce small video snippets that can be shared, different workspaces so you can define roles and access for several projects, etc.

We've used it for so many different projects already in multiple countries / languages and are really happy with Condens. Moreover, if we have any questions or problems, there is someone from the team helping us within a short amount of time. Thanks so much! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

We don't really have any downsides to share, to be honest. There are smaller things in the account administration that aren't as intuitive as one might think, but it's never a big issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Initially we were looking for a transcription tool for multiple languages (not just English) and quickly realised that Condens can help with data analysis, sharing research results, prepare video snippets, etc. as well. It helps a lot, especially with larger projects that have a lot of sessions / participants. And it's great you don't solely have to rely on your notes anymore when analysing. Being able to use tags in the transcriptions makes it super easy to extract quotes and bring research reports to life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
