## Relative Insight Reviews
  ### 1. Love using Relative Insight for qual, quant, and beyond

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jack C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2023

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

I like the flexibility in using it for a range of projects and variables - it can reveal some very interesting insights hiding under the hood.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

No real downsides. In some instances for smaller quant product open ends it can be more difficult to yield useful findings.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We've used Relative Insight to help consult for a host of a major financial podcast and help him to discover how different guests speak and talk about certain topics. We even used it to reveal different ways the host intereviewed certain types of guests (for example, males vs. females), which unveiled to him certain biases he may have had.

  ### 2. Great tool for generating language insights, with brilliant hands-on service

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Maria Victoria O. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2023

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Our account managers are always on-hand and super helpful, very supportive. The platform in itself provides some great ways for analysing a number of different aspects of language, as well as from a variety of sources.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

There's nothing I particularly dislike about Relative. The UX is still constantly being improved and I appreciate the opportunity to feedback so that it continues to improve.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We specialise in cultural insight and language analysis, so we are able to track online conversations about particular topics and compare how different markets and demographics are talking about particular cultural phenomena.

  ### 3. Incredible comparative analysis

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Joshua A. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2023

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Realtive Insight helps me to identify changes and trends in my data over different time periods and enable me to run a comparative analysis across the different parameters in my data. When comparing text in your data, it helps you to pull out key changes that helps me to discover emerging issues. One of the best parts is whilst analysing the data your able to loop back to the comments in question and tag them accordingly to help shape a story for your analysis.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Most of my analysis has been to cover the diffrences betwee two different parameters such as date/time, issue type, device type etc... Getting data used over many different parameters can take a while, although you do get detailed analysis from it.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Identifying emerging and changing issues across the business. It helps us to see what people are talking about and drill down on key parameters to discover the source of the problem.

**Official Response from Trish Pencarska:**

> Hi Joshua,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We are very glad to hear that Relative Insight is helping you to identify emerging issues across the business. 

Thank you,
Trish

  ### 4. Relative Insight: the cherry on top

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David F. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 13, 2023

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Relative Insight provide insights you can't get anywhere else.
Mostly, I use them for the 'cherry on top' in our deliverables — often, we'll review a wide array of data in the platform, and Relative will provide a handful of standout insights.
Relative has been most helpful processing survey data, or data we are very familiar with its source.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Heartbeat has great potential but still feels fiddly and sometimes slow to use.

It is sometimes hard to confidently pull insights from Relative's data, where we are not sure where or how they have scraped it. Better signposting would help.

It would be helpful to create personal, locked or confidential folders in the platform. Sometimes, we are dealing with sensitive data that other members of the team should not be able to see.

It is ambiguous how much Relative can/ do track our usage within the platform.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Relative helps us make qualitative data quantitative, find patterns that others wouldn't, and look smart in front of our clients. It makes our reports sing. Mostly, it is supplemenetary.

**Official Response from Trish Pencarska:**

> Hi David,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback!

We are very glad to hear that Relative Insight is helping you to find patterns and enhance your reports! Our product team is working hard to deliver some exciting new updates, which should hopefully solve some of the issues you have identified.

Thank you,
Trish

  ### 5. A software you should try

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Felix A. | Manager, Social Analytics, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

The core functionality, data comparison, is well organized and provides a fantastic user experience.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

I know that the purpose of this software is not to provide data but to analyze it. Sometimes you don't have the data at hand, and Relative Insight cannot help you with a built-in feature (as it is not its purpose). The only solution is to go through customer support and ask them for the data you need. This procedure can be time-consuming when you are in a hurry.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The software is excellent at analyzing customer data. I use it to understand customer behavior, discover trends, and brand perception.

**Official Response from David Koke:**

> Thanks for your feedback, Felix! Great to hear about how you've found value in using Relative to better understand customers.

  ### 6. Finding insights hiding in plain sight

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jim G. | Director of Creative Strategy, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Relative Insight has become an essential resource for our research and has been an excellent partner from day one. Not only have they supported us as we've learned the technical aspects of the platform, they've also been great collaborators who've helped us take a more thoughtful and rewarding approach to how we approach each project.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

I think the platform could be even more useful if it had a sentiment database that you could use to reveal what feelings are hidden within a data set without having to compare it to another user-provided data set or just standard English.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Not only does the platform allows us to reveal otherwise hidden insights, it also impresses clients and prospective clients. This novel use of technology positions our agency as truly modern and a partner who will bring the latest technology to the table for our clients.

**Official Response from Trish Pencarska:**

> Hi Jim,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! 

We are very glad to hear that Relative Insight is helping you find business insights for your clients and thanks for the kind words about our dedicated team.

  ### 7. It's been a great experience!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sandy Z. | People Analytics Consultant, Senior Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 08, 2023

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Relative is very useful when you look into differences between groups. Love how fast the insights can be generated.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

I wish the topic generation could be customized. Lots of words used in each topic I wish I could move them around and add them to stop words dictionary.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps us understand more about the feedback from employee survey

**Official Response from Trish Pencarska:**

> Hi Sandy,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We are very glad to hear that Relative Insight is helping you to understand the employee feedback. 
Our product team is currently working on adding new features to help custom topic generation - these will be available very soon!

Thank you,

Trish

  ### 8. Loved working on the platform

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tommy H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2023

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

The people at Relative Insight were very quick and helpful in responding to any questions I had

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

The results could be more customisable. Although I do believe this is already something that is going to change

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use a lot of free text questions in our surveys. Relative Insight speeds up the process of analysing this data

**Official Response from Trish Pencarska:**

> Hi Tommy,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We are very glad to hear that Relative Insight is helping you to quickly analyze your survey data. 

Thank you,

Trish

  ### 9. Incredible insights to be had!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Katie K. | Sr. Executive, New Business Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

RI offers the ability to generate unique and ownable insights that are VERY compelling. Huge value in using the insights for client work, and for generating owned research. Also - incredible account service! Everyone is super smart and personable and goes above and beyond to make sure you are getting the most out of the platform.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

There is definitely a learning curve with the platform. Expect it to take a few projects before you're comfortable manipulating the data and creating your own insights.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We've primarily used the platform to generate owned insights that we are using to create research reports and other thought leadership.

**Official Response from Trish Pencarska:**

> Hi Katie,

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We are glad to hear that Relative Insight is helping you generate unique insights and thanks for your kind words about our dedicated account team. 

We are currently developing new training programmes and we are hoping to unveil them soon, so keep your eyes peeled. 

Thanks!


  ### 10. Interesting product, can be fiddly to use

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amelia P. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2023

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Once you begin analysis, it's easy to use and impressive in the insights it provides. Team are also really hands on to get the most out of it.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

It all depends on the data you provide- and the upload/grouping process is a bit fiddly.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's allowing us to understand how executives communicate in different scenarios.

**Official Response from Trish Pencarska:**

> Hi Amelia,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We are very glad to hear that Relative Insight is helping you to understand how executives communicate. Our team is working on improving the data upload process, so we hope this makes your analysis more seamless in the future.

Thank you,
Trish

  ### 11. A great tool for finding insights on brands, competitors, industries and other topics

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alex G. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2023

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

A unique tool that allows you compare and analyse language/text from different sources like web data, social data and transaction data to uncover insights

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Its only as good as the data you load in

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Fast discovery of insights such as unique and simialr language used across different data

**Official Response from Trish Pencarska:**

> Hi Alex,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We are very glad to hear that Relative Insight is helping you to quickly discover unique insights. 

Thank you,
Trish

  ### 12. A great way to listen

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tope B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

The ability to scrape twitter data on specific topics

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

I wish it was easier to scrpe more data from years back

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Social listening to understand consumer sentiment over time

**Official Response from Trish Pencarska:**

> Hi Tope,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback!

We are very glad to hear that Relative Insight is helping you to understand consumer sentiment.

Thank you,

Trish

  ### 13. Great insights & great support.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Being able to organize insights has been great. Having a dedicated resource to support us has also been extremely helpful. I have no other experience with competitors so I can't compare.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

It's not super intuitive. Even with training, I had to do quite a bit of poking around before things started to really make sense. Something like a quick reference guide might be helpful to keep on hand.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

RI is giving us actionable, data-backed insights to back up our client recommendations. It's saving us time and internal bandwidth and allowing us to do research on a much larger scale

**Official Response from Trish Pencarska:**

> Hi there,

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We are glad to hear that Relative Insight is helping you find actionable business insights. 

We are currently developing new training programmes and we are hoping to unveil them soon, so keep your eyes peeled. 


  ### 14. Transformative impact on how we understand audiences and gather actionable insight

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sam V. | Senior Manager, Employee Experience, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Relative Insight has transformed how we look at internal qualitative data to help understand, track and influence how people are feeling and what they are talking about. It's incredibly simple and user-friendly to use, with a very well supported learning curve to quickly get up to speed and become relatively proficient. By stripping out a lot of the subjectivity that is normally a huge part of reading employee feedback, Relative has sped up our time from data collection to action from weeks to days, while also allowing us to focus much more on potentially hidden trends and themes. I love how neatly organised it is and how fast the process is to input data and move to analysis and discussion. 

Similarly, the customer support, product onboarding and relationship management has been exemplary.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

There is very little I dislike - the one tweak I'd suggest is to make it easier to capture and export insights  - the 'export insights' feature is great, but I rely much more on screenshotting (for example, the lists of most frequently used phrases)

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main problem is that we are solving is the difficulty of reading through a novel's worth of comments and feedback from employees when we run quarterly surveys. As a manual process, this can be very laborious and highly open to bias and subjectivity. By 'reading' the comments with Relative, we get a much faster and more objective view. The benefits of this include greater credibility, much greater pace and higher levels of engagement). It has also helped steer and guide projects and initiatives and track success across time, triangulating quant. with qual. data.

**Official Response from David Koke:**

> Hi Sam, thanks for your thoughtful feedback. Hearing how Relative Insight has transformed how you work with qual data is music to our ears. We're working hard to cook up some improvements to make capturing and exporting insights easier - stay tuned! 

  ### 15. Useful and Insightful

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dhruv P. | Data Science Apprentice, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

I find the comparisons that can be found between datasets is most useful because it helps tell a story of how the language of our customers is changing. It also helps us to develop and hopefully predict trends on themes that customers are speaking about.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Sometimes the being able to generate these insights is not the most straightforward. It takes a bit of time to get useful insights to be able to tell the story we want.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Relative Insight is helping solve issues that customers face when interacting with us. The text analysis helps is to identify what customers are now talking about compared to previous years.

  ### 16. Relative Insight is an excellent tool to get quick insights on your text data.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Very quick and useful to gain insights on your dataset. It allows you to identify tone and themes from your dataset which can be very useful to understand. You can also then combine your insights and share them using the insight cards.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Relative insight does lack few basic stats, such as the number of verbatim identified per subtheme. Relative insight also doesn't allow you to attach the verbatim with highlighted phrases for each theme. It also doesn't include many visualisation options which quite a downside as a user would want to have many different type  of visuals to choose from.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

During our last catchup, Relative insight is planning to create an API which can be used in different softwares such as PowerBI which will be very useful as it is a software commonly used to share insights.

  ### 17. Great tool, even better support team

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lindsey K. | Senior Strategist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Relative Insight is a great tool to be able to pull insights and measure online sentiment and has proven to be very adaptable and customizable to the depth and breadth of our various projects' needs.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

It's a pretty easy-to-use interface, but the hardest part has been the learning curve of knowing how to use all of the tools effectively. The onboarding really helped get our team up to speed, and it just takes a bit of practice and poking around.

**Recommendations to others considering Relative Insight:**

It is a great tool for text analysis across the web as well as verbatim notes from qual research.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Relative Insight has helped us find and analyze online sentiment quickly and effectively to augment our research projects and aid in the validation of our work, as well as provide new insights.

**Official Response from David Koke:**

> Thanks for your kind feedback, Lindsey! Glad to hear the platform has made the process of analyzing online conversations more efficient and that you've been able to make use of it for a wide range of research briefs. 

  ### 18. User-friendly interface with excellent flexibility and powerful data insights

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Relative Insights offers an intuitive, easy-to-learn platform for gaining often unexpected insights from even large data sets. We were able to use it to find patterns within the results from a large employee survey that we wouldn't have been able to gain using any manual methods. But their greatest strength may be their people: extremely knowledgeable, very accessible, and really a pleasure to work with.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

I didn't experience any downsides to the platform.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The platform helps us take survey and other research data and get more useful information from it than we otherwise could. This enables us to give our clients value-added service.

**Official Response from Trish Pencarska:**

> Hi there,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! 

We are very glad to hear that Relative Insight is helping you gain insights and find patterns in large data sets and thanks for your kind words about our dedicated account team. 


  ### 19. Great tool and great support folks

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Market Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

I like that it allows me to compare and contrast lots of data across websites or big data files. I find myself using them in presentations frequently even more so than some other tools we subscribe to.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

The only downside is when the data contains spam or needs a lot of cleaning to produce insights. So its more a function of the data we're using than the tool itself.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is saving me time and analysis by having charts that summarize the uniqueness of the corpora I am comparing. It also helps unearth things in large datasets that I might not have uncovered by hand.

  ### 20. The service is great, the team is helpful and knowledgeable. you get interesting insights

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

I like the team and the service. of course I like the type of analysis they provide, it is very insightfull and give us a different point of view of our regular data.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

the reporting. must be improve. it is too simple, I would like to be able to have some cross tabulations and be able to do it my self. I am happy that now we can see the trend. however, we need to pay extra

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is improving teh reporting, but stills have some room for improvment

  ### 21. Relative insight is a great tool!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Relative insight is a true out-of-the-box analysis platform, that allows you to maximize your analytical capability. Text/speech analysis is a tool not very commonly utilized, though you can uncover some truly impactful things by using it!

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Relative insight can be hard to use sometimes. The UX can be confusing for first time users especially, and the process for setting up a question to be analyzed is not always the most intuitive.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Relative Insight is one of many weapons to add to the arsenal of an analyst, simply rounding out any insights by providing yet another lens with which to view the given data from.

  ### 22. Good platform to offer comparison's in text language

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Carrie H. | Customer Experience & Innovation Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Diving into the verbatim and analysing text/making comparisons

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

No filter options to put comparison's in a high to low list

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using data to tell a compelling story

  ### 23. Smart, Powerful Tool to Distill Insights

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lindsey C. | Director of Knowledge Strategy, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

The staff have consistently worked with me 1:1 to truly understand my project needs and the impact of my work. They then help me to tailor a unique solution that makes sense, is efficient and effective, and furthermore they check in routinely to see if the setup is still working for me. As my needs have evolved, so too has our approach and it's been a great partnership.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Each employee I've connected with at RI has been fantastic. The only downside is that I've worked with several different partners over the years. I've been pleased for those who are growing at the company but it is the downside that I have to become familiar with a new counterpart.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're monitoring for fake COVID vaccines and treatments. The ongoing monitor provided me with a baseline, trends, and context as we weigh new developments against the backdrop of ongoing risk and concern about these counterfeit items. It helps my team direct our work appropriately to continue monitoring or actively respond in some way to bad actors worldwide.

  ### 24. Easy and insightful tool for language comparison

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ruth H. | G, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

It's a really easy platform to use, to compare the language used by different customers or in different sources.  And the team are really helpful in getting you trained and getting your data into the platform.  There are additional webinars to join for training and inspiration.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

My budget is limited, so for now I have to think hard about which data to analyse, as the cost is very reasonable but is costed per project, and given this is still a new approach for our company, I need to start small to justify the impact.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm analysing the language used by different groups of customers - to find what the satisfied customers choose to talk about vs. unsatisfied customers; and to compare the language used by our customers in different countries, to find previously hidden strengths/weaknesses and/or customer needs.  The benefits are making far better use of the all the open ended data we've already collected, which I just wouldn't be getting much value from otherwise.

**Official Response from David Koke:**

> Thanks for your feedback, Ruth! Glad to hear you are finding the platform intuitive and have found value from attending our webinars. 

  ### 25. Can provide some interesting insights but not convinced how relevant they are

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Pharmaceuticals | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Unique insights that you don't get anywhere else

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Really diffcult to tell if insights are genuine or conincidental. Often trends can be traced to one or two spurious results as opposed to genuine differnces between sources

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We always wanted to use it to see how different audiences spoke

**Official Response from Trish Pencarska:**

> Hi there,

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We are glad to hear that Relative Insight is helping you to understand how the different audience segments talk.

We thought it may be useful to explain how the insights are generated, to give you the confidence to apply them in a business context. 

Relative uses natural language processing (NLP) and comparative linguistics to reveal the differences, similarities, and frequencies in text. As so much of our communication is made up of commonly used words, it’s the differences that provide the key insights. To surface what’s unique, our platform records all the linguistic features (topics, words, phrases, emotions, grammar) and compares the prevalence of each against a relevant benchmark.

Finally, to ensure that those differences are not identified by chance, the platform performs statistical testing to calculate the probability of a false result. Only once the threshold is met, the difference will show in the report.  

If you’d like to learn more about the process, feel free to reach out to me directly at trish@relativeinsight.com or contact your account team. 

  ### 26. A great tool for linguistic analysis

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Its ability to pull together trends in language patterns, its user-friendly interface, really awesome account services/support

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Linguistic patterns are based off "The Queen's English," meaning dialects outside of it are misinterpreted. The platform creates visuals that can be exported, but they're not easy to edit/change.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Language pattern misinterpretations can be easily flagged in-platform.

  ### 27. Impressive technology. Unmatched service. Unlimited Value.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Drew F. | Global Senior Market Research Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Relative Insights has been a fantastic company to work with. With endless open-end survey responses, we as an organization struggled to find a valuable solution. Relative Insights AI platform has allowed us to make data-driven decisions and weed through the clutter. The platform is extremely simple to use, and the customer service is unmatched.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

The most challenging learning curve is keeping your projects and data organized. However, their team is very willing to help and find solutions to fit your need.

**Recommendations to others considering Relative Insight:**

If you have collected open-end questions within your surveys, do not wait. Get Relative Insights started today.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We collect thousands of open-end survey responses every month with our global trackers. Without Relative Insights we had no idea where to start and how to utilize this rich data source.It was amazing how quickly we could do analysis and deeply understand these responses.

**Official Response from David Koke:**

> Thanks for the feedback, Drew! So glad to hear that Relative Insight has helped you tackle the challenge of survey open-ends and that you are finding the platform easy to use. 

  ### 28. Such a helpful team

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

Cannot think of anything we disliked with Relative Insights

Understanding / getting insights from our consumers verbatims

  ### 29. Intuitive & Insightful Tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brindusa D. | Social Intelligence Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

It provides meaningful linguistic analysis, uncovers trends, and enables comparison results.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

That you must have the necessary data (external data) before starting. However, the team offers support whenever needed.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It mainly helps to identify behavioral segmentation and trends. We can better understand what brands and customers are discussing.

**Official Response from David Koke:**

> Thanks for your feedback, Brindusa. Great to hear how Relative Insight has helped you better understand consumers. 

  ### 30. The most useful tool I have from the most wonderful people

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tara A. | Consulting Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

I love Relative Insight and regularly rave about the platform to anyone that will listen. I've used it on every pitch I've won in recent years, ever since I discovered what they offer, as the insight gleaned is both genuinely insightful and extremely fast - not to mention cheap! I love being able to show a client something they didn't know about how their own brand speaks for example, versus their audience or how a certain emphasis has changed over time. Our client lead, Alex, is a diamond and always on hand with helpful suggestions for how to get the most out of the platform, we all adore her!

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

I want my agency to take out an unlimited subscription!

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The tool helps us build genuine, new and relevant insight about our brands and audiences, as well as track cultural trends. It couldn't be more useful. My favourite aspect of the tool is that it avoids a great deal of confirmation bias - instead of looking for answers that correspond with out hypothesis we instead surface them through choosing the relevant language sets.

  ### 31. Next level linguistic insight

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** James B. | Insight, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Relative is giving our team the ability to supercharge the learnings we can garner from the gamut of text-based data at our disposal - much of which was largely moribund until we discovered Relative.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

There's very little to dislike. I suspect that we'd have had issues appreciating the value of linguistic comparison if the Relative team not been so au fait with the approach in our initial interactions.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Relative is helping us uncover the hidden learnings within our text-based data sets. Whether that is a cumbersome set of survey open ends with nuanced depth, or social listening previously reduced to sentiment analysis and topline stats, Relative helps us truely make the most of the data at our disposal.

**Official Response from David Koke:**

> Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, James. We always love hearing about how Relative Insight helps customers embrace text data as a source of business intel! 

  ### 32. Great company, always looking to enhance and tailor their tools

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Very user-friendly considering the size of information collected in the back-end and the difficulty of organizing language data. Seamless and fast as a software.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

One of the downsides is (depending of course on each client's interests)  different cards (e.g. one based on frequencies and one based on similarities between sets)  often give the same insight. One can say this helps corroborate them but they won't necessarily be useful. Another thing is that is is easy to overstate the significance of some insights. I do not have a science/stats background so I might be leaving an unfair comment but it just sometimes feels like the data sets are not broad enough to generate strong insights.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reviews are tricky when looking at a large set of them. RI helps show that, which is equally useful as creating strong or statistically significant insights.

  ### 33. Gives a deeper insight into behaviour and language

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Relative Insight offers a data-driven, 'scientific' approach to understanding and analysing things that are often based on intuition or experience - such as how competitors talk about themselves, or how customers talk about you online. As such, it can provide valuable insights to present upwards in an organisation, avoiding having to rely on more vague marketing insight, which may not persuade non-marketers.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Like any platform, time investment is key to getting the best insights. Not sure if that's a dislike, just a reality.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We frequently use RI to solve problems around the positioning of competitors in the market, understanding the language used to appeal to key audiences. We are also increasingly looking to use the tool to understand patterns of behaviour amongst our own customers during their relationship with us, to try and understand their issues and adjust resourcing/content production/help accordingly.

**Official Response from David Koke:**

> Thanks for your feedback! Great to hear how you've put Relative Insight to use for competitor benchmarking. We've got some new developments coming down the pipeline that are aimed at reducing the time to insight, so stay tuned.

  ### 34. Putting a friendly face to a complex area of research

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nik S. | Strategy & Partnerships Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Relative Insight's product delivers fascinating and actionable insights for our campaigns and are a key component in explaining the value of the work we deliver. However, while the same is true of some other suppliers we work with, what sets Relative Insight apart is their client servicing - friendly, approachable people, who can easily explain a complex area of research in a language that we (and our clients) understand. It's been great to work with them over the past few years and here's to many more.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Nothing springs to mind. I guess, the complexity of their analysis can sometimes be hard for clients to comprehend - but then, that's often a million-dollar question in the industry: how to present complex analysis in a way that is easy to digest.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Relative Insight helps us analyse the value of our campaigns for our clients and demonstrate this value, so that they continue to work with us.

  ### 35. Great Insights

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

uncover things I was not aware of to make informed choices

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Takes a while to learn how to best use it

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Things I did not know about my audience letting me alter my marketing plans to their needs

  ### 36. Next Level Insight

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Geoffrey D. | SVP, Intelligence, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

In a world of parity, repetitive research tools and unsatisfying social listening insights, RI helps us find meaningful insights right from the consumer's mouth

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

This isn't a dislike really, but success depends on the skill of the user. If you're smart about the data you put in and how you look at it, insight is there.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

If content is king, then you need a formidable way to analyze the written word on a granular level. RI helps us in the micro and the macro.

  ### 37. Powerful tool, awesome reps

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Relative Insight quick gives you insights as to what's different between your two data sets, that may otherwise take hours to uncover. It's compelling to tell your client this topic or phrase is mentioned 10X more than competitors, for example, to understand points of differentiation or overlap better.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Unfortunately, like most tools, you sometimes don't find anything interesting or noteworthy between your data sets. But the reps (shout out to Maddy!) are very helpful in also taking a look to see if there's anything you may have missed.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My team uses linguistics analysis to understand differences between topics, brand vs competitor social posts or websites, or how consumers talk about a brand or topic. It's been a time saver!

  ### 38. Clean, intuitive text comparions tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Pauline L. | Employee Expereince - Community Experience Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Platform experience: 
- Easy to use
- The platform is clean and logical 
- Friendly and knowledgeable team to support you
- Short, bite-sized resources
- Live and on-demand webinars

Text comparisons analysis output:
- Insightful
- Easy to present

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

I can't think of anything for a text comparison tool. :)

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using Relative Insight to compare survey comments from different parts of the organisation

The benefits are we can see the differences and similarities of how the organisation feel about recent changes and the common topics that people care about.

**Official Response from David Koke:**

> Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with Relative Insight, Pauline! Thrilled to hear you find the platform logical and easy to use and have found value in analysing employee surveys. 

  ### 39. The future

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Leticia C. | Program Manager Voice of the customer

**Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Their open mind and will to improve and hear customers' feedback and new ideas. There is never a "No" whenever we have suggested or requested a new service or help. I have always felt RI more like a partner than a provider.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Nothing to be with RI itself, but there is still a long way to walk until any company analyzing texts can guarantee data at 100%. I'm sure RI will get there, but I still feel that the analysis and insights are pretty general, and human eyes are still necessary. Still, since we work with RI, we have reduced significantly the time and resources that we used to invest to analyze our data

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reduce the time and resources to analyze survey responses

**Official Response from David Koke:**

> Thanks for your feedback, Leticia. Great to hear you've been able to reduce the time spent analyzing survey responses. You've articulated the challenge of analyzing text really well. Given the nature of words taking on different meanings in different contexts  100% precision is difficult but our teams of developers and data scientists are working hard to make the analysis even more robust!

  ### 40. Driving a data led approach

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Market Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

I think it is fantastic that you can get such detailed and nuanced evidence to support your findings. The level of detail in grammar, words and topics means you really do understand the topics in much greater depth.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Sometimes the groupings are a little vague or inaccurate, but that is to be expected! A more seamless platform that is intuitive could also be helpful to making the user experience better.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving both commercial and societal problems by both giving marketing insight to use in strategy as well as unearthing really important findings about key problems in society.

  ### 41. Excellent tool, excellent service

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Erica M. | SVP Brand Strategy, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Access to linguistic insights that I simply can not get otherwise.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Nothing.  Took a little time to get the hang of it, but my team is very helpful in making sure I am using it effectively!

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have used the tool to go deeper into understanding existing clients, as well as to uncover insights as we explore new areas.  We are now looking at using it to understand ourselves better.

  ### 42. Review

**Official Response from David Koke:**

  ### 46. A Relatively Awesome Tool!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2021

The linguistic technology is game-changing. The platform is really intuitive. Overall, it's very easy to work with mounds of data and unearth interesting insights that traditional coding or analysis can't.

Sometimes it's a bit trick uploading data.

  ### 47. It's about the team and the tool!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Evan F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2020

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

It’s about the team and the tool! Relative Insight has been a fantastic resource for us. The tool itself allows us to sift through tons of data and arrive at insights within minutes. 

Proactive support from their team has ensured that we are getting the most out of the resource. They have worked with us in an efficient, thorough, and comprehensive way, which has allowed us to get actionable insights in a matter of minutes rather than hours. 

They have gone above customer support to customer elevation, providing strategic guidance and thought leadership which has allowed us to maximize the sources available to us and create meaningful insights to create results.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

There is a learning curve and as with most tools, it takes a while to get into the swing of things. Projects take longer than they should at the beginning. The good news is that their team truly is there to help you at every step.

**Recommendations to others considering Relative Insight:**

The more command you have of data sources — for example, knowing where different audiences go online to discuss topics, the more you will get out of this tool.

We're using the tool to develop brand strategies and help support business growth. A few benefits —
- Faster insight gathering

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2021

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

Allows me to support research and strategy with data and tangible insights

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Dashboard can be confusing to navigate sometimes, and can take a while to find insights that are worthwhile - would recommend going full service for this.

  ### 49. An excellent research tool!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

  ### 50. A great boost to our understanding of social conversation and open-ended survey responses

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gregory M. | Senior Brand Research Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2020

**What do you like best about Relative Insight?**

The platform gives us a much more detailed understanding of social conversation than we previously had, and is much more advanced than traditional sentiment analysis. It's also allowed us to properly analyse open-ended questions from surveys that previously we did not have enough resource to look at.

**What do you dislike about Relative Insight?**

Not much. The only issue we have is that you need a certain volume of conversation around a topic to analyse it properly, so occasionally we've been unable to look at certain subjects, or have had to try to stimulate conversation using fan communities.

**What problems is Relative Insight solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A variety of things, but we tend to look at specific events or issues rather than generic perceptions around our sport. For example, we have looked at things like how fans our feeling about potentially going to events in the future, so that we can prepare in the way they expect, and also tailor our communication to be in line with those expectations.
