Whether you’re a user researcher, designer, or someone who simply needs to hear directly from customers or users (truthfully, that’s all of us!), choosing the right research platform can feel like a project all its own.

You need something…

• Fast, without sacrificing quality
• Robust, but user-friendly
• Specific, with quality security features

Your user research platform needs to do a lot, and that’s where Dscout shines. Below, we walk through the top five reasons teams trust us as their research partner.

1. End-to-end research, all in one place

When you use Dscout, you don’t need to duct tape five different tools together to run one study. You can recruit participants, field your research, analyze data, and share insights—all without leaving the platform.

To dig into that more…

✔ Recruit quality participants

Find your target audience across our Scout panel, our partner panels, or bring your own.

✔ Run research your way

Whether it’s unmoderated or moderated, usability or diary, or anything in between, you’re set to launch. If you need help building out the study, our team of researchers is here to help set up your research for success.

✔ Make management easy

Features like scheduling tools, incentive management, and consent forms help take admin work off your plate—so you can focus on the research. 

✔ Analyze efficiently

Uncover insights more efficiently with tools like AI analysis, auto transcriptions, tagging, charts, and more.

✔ Share insights that drive action

Integrations with products like Figma and Slack allow you to easily share insights across teams. Other features like hidden observers and our playlist builder also ensure customer insights drive product decisions. 

Streamlined research means no more cobbling together workflows or losing data between tools. A single platform supports you end-to-end, from ideas to insights.

2. Quality participants, without the headaches

Finding real, vetted, engaged participants can be a time-consuming challenge. Dscout helps gather them for you.

On Dscout, you can recruit via…

✔ The Dscout panel

Our panel
 of active, vetted, and verified Scouts who meet our rigorous quality standards.

✔ Dscout’s partner panels

If you’re looking for niche or international participants, we can help connect you to 3 million additional participants through our partnerships with leading qualitative research panel providers.

✔ Self sourcing

If you already have folks you want to research, bring them in! We can help manage your panel on the platform, or you can simply send them the link and invite them to your study. 

Whether you recruit from our panels or bring your own, we also offer built-in tools for panel management, including automated scheduling, and quota management. Custom incentive amounts also help you secure high-quality insights.

The streamlined process helps you spend less time on logistics and more time doing actual research.

3. Scalable with your org across teams

Dscout is beloved by UXRs, but it’s also designed to support the many other roles doing research: designers, product managers, marketers, and more. Whether your team is centralized or cross-functional, Dscout grows with you.

Some of the teams we’ve helped include:

✔ Headspace

The design team at Headspace partnered with Dscout to safely build Ebb, their first customer-facing GenAI product. With foundational research, usability tests, and naming tests, the team was able to identify the right place to roll out AI thoughtfully.

✔ Discovery Education

Discovery Education used Dscout to streamline design and research ops. Their team grew, so they needed a tool to help recruit, run, and manage research at scale.

✔ Dolby

Dolby’s UX and insights team is scaling their design and research practice with Dscout. Leveraging the platform to conduct dynamic research across their wide variety of products, including TVs, PCs, and VR.

Our platform is intentionally flexible. No matter your methods—or your team makeup—you’ll find Dscout supports your work, not the other way around.

4. Trusted (and loved!) by the people who use it

“The most amazing thing about Dscout is its panel. No other panel out there has the quality of respondents that they do.

In addition, I'm SO impressed with the new express usability missions—super easy to get things out in [the] field and capture great depth of insight.

Lastly, I like how they practice what they preach and listen to the people who use the platform to inform improvements! And don't even get me started with the AI capabilities and all that's to come there.”
