Customer research

Understand your customers

Use our customer research software to engage with customers and learn what they need


Connect in new ways

Customer research is foundational to product success. Once you have clarity about what your customers need, you can find innovative ways to solve their problems. Use ideas portals to capture feedback, then deeply engage with your users in new ways. Define your research plan and choose from a variety of methods to gather qualitative and quantitative data. Summarize learnings in a shared space so everyone can benefit. Seamlessly incorporate feedback into your strategic planning process when you use Aha! Roadmaps and Aha! Ideas Advanced together.

Reinvigorate customer research


Build customer empathy

Customers often tell you what they need. But the "why" can be harder to discern. You need to learn who your users are, the problems they are trying to solve, and what they actually want. Bring customers together for an online focus group so you can engage in conversation. Launch feedback polls in your ideas portal to proactively ask questions and gather input. These insights help you develop rapport with your customers and put their needs at the center of every decision.

Host an empathy session


Improve the user experience

Find out what customers think while they are actually using your product. Start an open dialogue with your users about a specific feature or area of your application. Your community can interact with you and one another to discuss their needs, share experiences, and suggest potential enhancements. This feedback approach is perfect for gathering insights during beta testing or after a launch — so you can iteratively improve the functionality.

Collect in-app feedback

We are now far more empathetic to our customers' needs. Aha! helps us crystalize what their pain points actually are rather than hypothesizing what we think they want.
