Industry Struggles and Fragmentation in User Research: A Call for Innovation with Micorza

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced and competitive market, understanding customer feedback is the key to crafting products that resonate with users. Yet, companies often struggle to derive clear and actionable insights from the vast amounts of feedback they receive. The challenges in routing this feedback to relevant teams, combined with fragmented workflows and scattered tools, create significant bottlenecks. For product teams eager to iterate and innovate, this problem is a serious hurdle.

Challenges in User Feedback Management

1. Fragmented Tools and Disjointed Workflows

The user research landscape is cluttered with a variety of tools, leading to a patchwork of solutions. From Zoom and Google Meet for interviews, to SurveyMonkey and Typeform for surveys, and Google Docs or Notion for note-taking—each tool, while effective in isolation, lacks the specialized integration necessary for user research. This fragmentation leads to inefficiencies, making it challenging for product teams to piece together a cohesive narrative from the scattered data.

2. Lengthy Research Cycles and Uncertain ROI 

Disjointed tools result in prolonged and costly research cycles. The lack of integration with product management platforms like Figma, Jira, or Notion forces UX researchers and product managers to manually transfer findings, analyze data with spreadsheets, and sift through hours of video content. This process is time-consuming, error-prone, and increases the likelihood of bias. Such obstacles slow down the journey from gathering feedback to generating insights that can be acted upon.

3. No Central System of Record 

Another key challenge is the absence of a central system to store and standardize user research data. Typically, each project is treated as a standalone effort, with data and insights scattered across various platforms. This siloed approach makes it difficult to share findings across teams, learn from past research, and establish consistent methodologies for future projects
