10 Best Customer Feedback Tools for SaaS

Written by Moritz Dausinger, CEO of Refiner

Are you considering collecting customer feedback? Wondering which customer feedback tools to use?

In that case, this guide is for you.  

Why, because, below, you’ll learn everything to help you pick the best customer feedback software. You’ll learn what user feedback tools are, why it’s so important to pick the right one, and also, how to do it.

Plus, we’ll also review 10 best customer feedback tools on the market today.

It’s a lot to cover so let’s get right to it.

Why Do You Need Customer Feedback Tools? 

I guess this goes without saying – User feedback is beyond critical for a SaaS business. 

It’s what helps you make your product better than anyone else, improve the customer experience, or even drive the product roadmap, after all. 

The thing is, it’s hard to collect enough feedback to achieve such results, and more, by hand. Sure, you can get amazing insights from customers when you chat with them during customer service calls but you’re usually focusing on other things then. Not to mention that it’s practically impossible to do it at scale. 

That’s what customer feedback tools do.

The primary goal of user feedback platforms is to make it easy for you to collect different types of feedback at a scale. And so, a solid customer feedback tool will allow you to run a net promote score (NPS) surveys, evaluate your customers’ satisfaction with CSAT, run custom surveys, add forms to the site. Some tools will even let set up quizzes to help you learn more about your audience and ask them for ratings and reviews. 

And, in many cases, all with a simple setup, like this:

What to Look For in a Customer Feedback Software

Like with many other tools, survey software comes in different shapes and sizes. There are big, enterprise-level platforms specializing in processing insane amounts of data. There are tiny survey platforms helping small businesses get more feedback from customers and a whole bunch of tools in between. 

So, how do you know whether the tool is for you? 

Here are some capabilities to consider when evaluating tools to collect customer feedback:

  • Features and functions built to suit the SaaS needs. Many survey tools offer the ability to run basic surveys. But does the tool you consider allow you to run CSAT, CES, and NPS surveys that are so invaluable to SaaS? Or let you display surveys as in-app widgets to collect feedback from people using your product?
  • Ease of use: The tool may be great, but will it be easy for you to use? Let’s face it; you don’t want to use a complex solution that will have you spend hours on support calls just to get it working.
  • Easy integration: The customer feedback tool should fit into your existing solutions stack and easily integrate with tools such as Zapier, Slack, Segment, and others. This will help you to set up automated triggers and workflows. 
  • Affordability: Of course, you want to pay a reasonable price for the tool you choose.
  • Customization options: As you want your customers to have a smooth and slick user experience, customization options are an absolute must-have. 

So, with that in mind, what are your options?
