Pros:

It's the most complete tool that I've used and I'm always trying new ones. The AI capabilities are amazing and looks like every feature was made to save time from users, without disrespecting the research process at all.

Cons:

It can be a huge challenge to approve the cost if the company is in a country which does not have Dollars ($) as the main currency. It can be very expensive.

Thank you so much, Pedro! This is amazing to hear.

After trying several platforms, Marvin is my research workspace of choice

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

So many things. The core functionality is straightforward, clean, and focused. Capturing content, transcribing, coding, and sharing is all much cleaner than how our processes once were. The thoughtful implementation of AI is great and I trust the team to keep moving with intention on these implementations. In the end, Marvin is the platform that has helped me genuinely pursue a vision of research built with cumulative effect, clearly traceable chains of evidence, and highly transparent research documentation. It makes it easier to do all the things I learned in my training about the "right way" to do the work. Working with this platform I've gotten to know the team behind it as well (because they're also SUPER responsive) and I am excited to see where they'll bring this platform, because something tells me it will push my own thinking into new frontiers of what is possible.

Cons:

If I had my preference, I would make Marvin our primary repository for knowledge management around product development. Marvin is home to everything research and insight, and I wouldn't honestly suggest they should veer out of that lane because they are great specialists in a field poised for revolution with specialist tools. But the major seam in our work is still persistently being able to track those chains of evidence from the presentation or roadmap built on top of the research all the way back to the original recordings, survey questions, and journal entries all stored in Marvin. To REALLY get it right we need to rethink some of our workflows and storytelling to live in this platform a little bit longer (because they have plenty of functionality to do that storytelling that we just aren't making the most use out of.)

Reasons for switching to Marvin

Initially the switch was mostly about cost and access to the team. However, after making the switch, the user experience and constant addition of meaningful functionality has kept us deeply engaged and growing our use cases.

Vendor Response

Thank you so much, Benjamin! If we had our choice, we'd be your team's primary repository too. We're here when you're ready!

A great tool that cuts down the time we spend on analysis

As a business we love using Marvin. It gets quite challenging to use Marvin with multiple languages but the team seem very receptive to feedback which is great to see!

Pros:

Really easy to organise your findings and label up your themes Really great user interface that feels familiar and is easy to grasp

Cons:

The transcription can be a bit hit and miss, with punctuation sometimes missing etc. For cross market projects, the translation feature can sometimes be poor Although the AI tools can be useful, they still have quite a long way to go to be super helpful

Reasons for choosing Marvin

The AI tools were superior vs. others in the market

I compared several products and Marvin won

Out entire product and design team uses Marvin, when working on a new feature we collect video snippets to share context with the teams working on the feature, stakeholders and other PMs. We put these snippets in our one-pager and PRDs.

Functionality

Pros:

1) Very powerful search and AI GPT-style "ask me anything" that allows me to make sense out of hundreds of hours of videos. 2) Very easy to organize and share video snippets. 3) Speech to text that works very well, in several languages. 5) Great team that is always striving to gather feedback and constantly improve the product.

Cons:

The flows of moving between the main screen and projects are a bit confusing as they have a different side navigation, it took a bit getting used to. The recording bot sometimes takes a bit long to join Google Meet if invited manually.

Reasons for choosing Marvin

Free tier, ease of use, feature set, pricing.

Reasons for switching to Marvin

I used Dovetail in a previous company and in my current company I was looking for a product with a free tier. After a few months I found enough value in Marvin to convince my COO to include it in the budget.

Pros:

Their strong focus on user needs and the urgency with which they address customer pain points are truly commendable. I'he been working with marvin in different contexts and companies, and they always impress me

Cons:

This is a bit challenging to answer because I genuinely enjoy using the tool. However, I feel that having only one way to display results can sometimes limit flexibility. Offering more options for presenting results could improve the overall experience

Reasons for switching to Marvin

I had a lot of difficulties using Dovetail.

The possibility of creating insights into our research process. Once the company creates the culture of searching Marvin for information about the customer, this feature helps a lot to summarize the findings and spread the knowledge.
