What do you dislike about Condens?

Nothing: this is exactly the tool I was looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Condens:

Do not hesitate, the tool is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Extract and collect insights from user interviews, in a way that make those insights searchable and valuable.

Capitalize on insights from user research and market research, to be able to find useful information later.

Share those insights with my team in an engaging way.

Before Condens, I was using a google spreadsheet but I took me a long time after each interview to extract relevant information and organise it. For a 1 hour interview, I needed more than 1 hour of work in my Google spreadsheet. Now with Condens, it's less than 30 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Condens?

I really like how lightweight it is, with no unnecessary functionality and it's not trying to do everything, but instead do the important things properly. Condens team is also quick to listen to any feedback and their support is working great and fast as well. I especially like the analysis options, video highlights and working with Conclusions.

Another noteworthy thing is how fast the product is improving by adding functionality and tweaking things regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

I'm not really a fan of the font choice and generally the UI - I like that it's very minimalistic, but the overall graphic design is not that impressive (but that's not really that much of an issue). But the thing that could use some work is the information architecture, which is sometimes a bit sketchy and can be confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Condens:

Don't get discouraged by the look of it and by the fact that it's so lightweight. This lack of unnecessary functionality is very refreshing and it still gives us all we need for qualitative data analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're using Condens as a tool for qualitative analysis and also a place to clearly store and organize research projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Condens?

Condens not only facilitates my analysis, it supports me in doing vivid presentations and engaging my stakeholders in research insights . I used Condens quite from the beginning and it is awesome to see how fast the team implements new features. As an example: with the new transcription feature, I could skip two extra steps (transcribing via trint and trimming videos in imovie) what saved me a lot of time - time that I could use finding the real research nuggets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

Condens has three parts: 1) participants, 2) synthesis and 3) conclusion. I am still figuring out how I can work best with the conclusion part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Condens?

The tag functionality and custom categories to describe participants, also the transcription feature! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

What would be nice to have is a counting feature of participants based on the categories you defined e.g. gender, to get a quick overview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having multiple (5) user researchers conducting interviews often poses problems when it comes to communication of results. With the script and tags you can assign you don't need to spend lots of time talking about your insights from interviews. Everything can be tracked and aggregated so nothing gets lost.

What do you like best about Condens?

I have been trying different qualitative analysis software and this is it!

Extra points for transcript option in spanish, love the interactive function that start the dictation wherever you select text, and viceversa.

Also love the option to paste evidence in image or video to accentuate a finding.

The categories are super easy to use and analyse in a separate manner.

For a designer doing ethnographic research Condens is the only software that designed the user experience which makes it very visual, colorful and intuitive, SUPER EASY AND FUN TO USE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

I can´t think of something right now, maybe a pricing plan for students or universities would be a good idea to open a different market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Condens:

Try it now! it would save you time, help organize, and show results in a easy and fun way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Saving time in transcript, saving time creating and organizing categories, creating a preliminary result document while working. Showing results to non users in an organized and clear document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Condens?

The biggest headache of UXR is transcripts and listening back to your sessions. Unfortunately most of the typing is done in Word, G Docs or something. However each note / insight is typically isolated. What I found with my research is that I'd have to transfer it all to sticky notes just to extrapolate the points. Synthesis was a nightmare. And then I got introduced to Condens.

What would have taken me 6 days, instead took me 6 hours.I had 8 usability tests to transcribe and analyse and I was able to tag and triangulate. By creating clusters, logical groups quickly formed (with colour coded options because I'm OCD). The conclusion aspect brought all my research together and it was so smooth, yet accurate.

The Condens team are great, they will give you detailed responses and are quick to help. They've been excellent at sorting issues, releasing features and being super flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

The payment process had some hiccups as there isn't too much access to account management, but I am confident that these guys will optimise this. They were super flexible in extending our trial and giving us freebies.

Would eventually like to see different font / styling options. But this is preference / taste. It'd be cool to whitelabel some of this - so I can se my companies/clients branding for eg.

Would be great to see more integrations with cloud platforms (ie Google Docs). Or even a 'save to Condens' item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Whether you do interviews, university research or even just like collating highlights and creating themes, then get this software. It's so simple, yet I can't imagine doing a project without it now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Condens?

I appreciate the focus on the final output - research report. I can add quotes to my conclusion as I'm processing the data, and also add my own notes and reflections with a rich-text editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Condens?

As with any young product, there are some things that need a little polish. For example, relatively new feature - sortable clusters - is great, but I wish it wouldn't ask me to sort my cluster as I go. Sometimes I just want to quickly sort quotes by cluster, and then move on to arranging clusters in a particular order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Condens:

It's a great tool for smaller organizations (maybe for bigger too), who look for consistent ways of organizing their research findings, but don't want to break a bank paying for more expensive competitors. It has a plethora of benefits beyond the price too - focus on the final output of research (Conclusion), organizing quotes by themes, and from my conversations with founders, it sounds like they are looking to implement many more features that will make my life as a one-person UX team so much easier. The team at Condens is very open to feedback and feature suggestions! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The biggest problem that Condens is solving for me is capturing, organizing, and storing qualitative data. Qualitative data is always incredibly rich with insights, some of which you won't use until later. With Condens, I can be sure that those insights are captured, and searchable.
