Qualtrics Named a Leader in 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Voice of the Customer

Qualtrics recognized as a Leader for Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision

PROVO, Utah & SEATTLE, December 02, 2021–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Qualtrics (Nasdaq: XM), the leader and creator of the Experience Management (XM) category, has been named a leader in the 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Voice of the Customer*. Qualtrics is positioned highest for its Ability to Execute in the Leaders Quadrant for Qualtrics CustomerXM™.

Gartner® defines Voice of the Customer (VoC) as “software applications that integrate feedback collection, analysis, distribution and action into a single, interconnected platform to help understand and improve the customer experience (CX).” VoC software “enables leaders supporting CX to enhance the way they listen to and understand customers. The insights generated create actions that help improve customer loyalty and provide measurable business benefit.” According to Gartner®, the VoC market grew by around 20% in 2020, which has increased the size of the VoC application software market beyond $2 billion per year.

“We believe Qualtrics’ continued leadership in the 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Voice of the Customer is a testament to our accelerating customer momentum, expansive partner network, and incredible product innovation,” said Brad Anderson, President of Products and Services at Qualtrics. “The ability to capture, analyze and act on experience data has never been more important, and organizations are turning to Qualtrics to deliver personalized experiences at scale, all on the world’s #1 experience management platform.”

Qualtrics CustomerXM™ helps companies of all sizes drive engagement and build loyalty with new and existing customers at scale. Its products and solutions and industry leading expertise allow every team along the customer journey – from CX leaders to frontline employees – to transform organizations’ customer experience programs to systems of action.

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.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
