Medallia is the leading enterprise experience management platform, used by global enterprises to capture customer and employee feedback across every touchpoint — digital, in-store, contact centre, and field service — analyse it with AI to surface actionable insights, and route the right information to the right employees to drive immediate service recovery and long-term experience improvement.
Product Overview
Medallia's enterprise scale and breadth sets it apart from SMB-focused feedback tools: where Typeform and Delighted serve individual teams collecting NPS surveys, Medallia manages experience feedback programmes for organisations with millions of customer interactions per day across dozens of touchpoints. Its signal capture layer collects feedback from post-purchase email surveys, in-app digital surveys, contact centre call recordings, social media mentions, chat transcripts, and in-location kiosk interactions — analysing all signals through a unified AI engine that identifies experience themes, sentiment patterns, and drivers of satisfaction or churn. Medallia's text analytics engine processes open-ended responses in 100+ languages, identifying the recurring themes and specific pain points that structured survey questions miss. Its action management layer routes specific feedback signals to the frontline employees who can act on them — a negative comment about a specific store associate is routed to the store manager, while a pattern of product complaints is escalated to the product team — creating a closed-loop feedback system at enterprise scale.
