Qualtrics has continued to invest since this assessment was completed, with the recent acquisitions of Clarabridge and Usermind, which will bring leading omnichannel conversational analytics and journey orchestration technology to the Qualtrics XM Platform™. The combination will enable companies to tune in and analyze all of the feedback their customers are already sharing, wherever they’re saying it, and deliver personalized experiences at scale.
