What do you like best about Fuel Cycle?

I love being able to run as many research projects as we would like and go live with them very quickly, without having to rely on internal teams and work around their priorities and tasks. It is essentially an all-in-one platform: build your project, publish it, and email members to let them know that there are new activities on the community! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fuel Cycle?

There isn't much that I dislike. The only thing that has been a bit of an inconvenience is the inability to link quick poll activities in emails that get sent to members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fuel Cycle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Running research projects with ease and very quickly and efficiently to be able to respond to high-priority, ad-hoc requests. Insights from research that we ran on Fuel Cycle help inform several things, including product and CX, and we learn a lot about consumer behavior and preferences.

I find it very easy to use, and at the same time I find many options to work with. I really like the responses and the solutions the system provides. The customer support is also really out there, so I find that very nice. I would definitely reccomend it to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fuel Cycle?

I have not yet had the opportunity to dislike something.

Maybe at the beginning I felt there was too much info in the website, but then got used to it. It was very easy to implement once I got to know more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fuel Cycle solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use many of its resources but find very helpful both Brand and Market Intelligence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fuel Cycle?

I like that I have the ability to create whatever I want, and then there is the fuelcycle rep to double check my work and improve what I have built. Make sure it runs perfect. Support has been great from the contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fuel Cycle?

Like all survey tools, there are sometimes issues with the quality of respondents. Here at Target we use our own survey pop. But when using Fuelcycles gen pop, looking at the raw data before it is cleaned is a lot. Higher quality respondents would be a big step up.

Easier way to take survey data and turn it into powerpoint charts or charts in excel would save me a ton of time. We do everything in powerpoint and excel. Having to manually copy and paste data and then create new charts is exhausting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fuel Cycle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps us easily access our guests. We can ask questions that we can't get answers from using normal data. It helps us communicate our guests to external stakeholders and make business decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fuel Cycle?

Easy to use, self service style enables agility in research,supports so many different research methods-- both qual and quant. Having our Fuel Cycle community has enabled me to think more in terms of "what research would be best" vs "what research is feasible"... just about anything is feasible if you have your community set up effectively.

I use it ALL THE TIME. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fuel Cycle?

The way the discussion board comments cascade down isn't the most intuitive way to read a back and forth discussion-- however these usecases have been very few and far between.

I'm hopeful that there will be some generative AI enhancements on the horizon that will help me analyze the open-ended feedback in a more efficient way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fuel Cycle solving and how is that benefiting you?

The only option above is "Experience Management" That is not my usecase. I woudl say ad hoc research-- -perceptions, interests, motivations, concept tests ect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fuel Cycle?

It's helpful to be able to have access to our panel where we can talk to respondents in a timely manager. The upsides of using Fuel cycle is being able to do agile quant research. Also it's easy to be able to use Qualtrics in the platform to program/launch a survey. You can launch an actvitity as many times as you need to (great frequency). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fuel Cycle?

The imbalances that we have of using our panel at time, not really representative for gen pop. Results may be skewed when doing certain research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fuel Cycle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having a platform that we can use to do quick research. We get adhoc requests at times and it's nice to be able to have something quick and accessible without having to scope out a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that we're able to reach a dedicated community of respondents and gather consumer insights so quickly and easily. It's been so great working with the Fuel Cycle team as well, the team is super responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fuel Cycle?

I don't necessarily have anything I dislike about Fuel Cycle, also because I don't use it every day. My needs have all been met so far with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fuel Cycle solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work on the Consumer Insights team, so my job is to bring the voice of the consumer into the work that we do with partners across the business. Fuel Cycle is key in helping us maintain and manage the community of consumers we regularly go to with business questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fuel Cycle?

The ability to collect multiple insights across many surveys & activities, enabling you to cross check data points across each activity

Simple, easy-to-create activities and surveys via third party integrations

Responsive support from customer success team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fuel Cycle?

Some suggestions for product improvement:

- easier way to export all data at a panelist level. Right now i have to manually export surveys one at a time, and connect together in Excel/powerbi using username as an index. If we could more easily export everything at once it'd save lots of end user time.

- Ability to save settings in FC exports so that you don't need to retoggle your variables every time you refresh (e.g., excluding test accounts, saving what questions you specified for the export, etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fuel Cycle?

- Our trusted relationship with the Fuel Cycle team

- The ability to reach our own customers whenever we want

- The integrations with other platforms (although sometimes a bit clunky, always appreciated)

- The talented, experienced researchers on the Fuel Cycle team who are always looking to improve the product by solving client problems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fuel Cycle?

- We've had a few glitches with the tools that Fuel Cycle integrates with (not necessarily the tool itself) - so this could use some improvement for smoother integration

- But overall, we've used Fuel Cyle to manage our customer communities for a few years and we're happy with our experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fuel Cycle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Staying connected to our customer - constantly having access to a panel of trusted customers - saving us the trouble of using multiple tools to communicate with customers, get feedback, and report on that feedback Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
