Our approach to product feedback

Here at Power Factors, we take product feedback extremely seriously. We believe that listening to our customers, team members, and prospects - by taking their ideas on board - is a sure-fire way to build better products.
We use your feedback to identify the most important features, ideas, pain points, and opportunities so that you can get more value from our products as efficiently as possible.


The benefits of giving us your product feedback

If you take the time to submit your product feedback to us, it means that you have a direct say in how our products develop over time. It means that your ideas are valued and listened to, rather than filed away and ignored.
Ultimately, it allows us to work with you to build the best products we possibly can.

What happens to your product feedback

Our product teams meet regularly with the CSMs, to go through new ideas. Once we have verified that an idea isn’t already available in the system, and seems like a good idea, we change the status to Accepting Votes. Then more people can vote, prioritize, and give us information. This allows us to gauge demand, gather use cases, and establish impact & value.

If we decide to implement an idea, the status will change to Planned or In Development. When it’s done, the status will change to Delivered. Anyone who has submitted or voted on a specific request will be notified when the status of the request is updated. We will always provide an explanation as to the nature of the status update.

Unfortunately, not all requests are in line with our vision and strategy, so sometimes we reject them. When this happens, the status will be changed to Archived and we’ll add a note to let you know that it won’t be delivered.


How we choose what to implement

When we plan a release, we use many factors to help decide which suggestions to implement, including:

  • Customer feedback - there are many ways we listen for your feedback:
    formal customer interviews and other research activities
    events like conferences and trade shows
    comments and votes on issues here in Greenbyte & BluePoint Influence
  • CSM team insights - our CSM team knows which issues are the most challenging and most common for customers.
  • Product analytics - we track how users move through the system, which helps us understand how existing features are being used.
  • Product strategy - our long-term strategic vision for the products.
If you reach out directly to our support or customer success teams, they'll be able to look up the ideas for you, but they won't have any additional information or provide an estimate for when your item will be reviewed.


Custom applications

Sometimes you need functionality that is specific to your needs and not necessarily useful for other customers or in line with Power Factors strategic goals. These special requests are addressed through custom applications, which can be developed by you, using the Greenbyte API, by third-party partners, or by Power Factors for an additional fee. If you are interested in having a custom application built, contact your CSM.

  1. Custum Delay for Notifications

    This is basically a repeated idea, it was requested 4 times before, but always rejected. Does it fit in the roadmap now to have the same options in the dropdown list for the delay in the notification scheme as there is for an alert?
    The current notification delay is quite limited, jumping from 1 hour to 4 hours to 24 hours and ending there, whereas an alert can be set to hourly intervals, up to 30 days.

  2. Make it easier to keep the status event start end end e-mails apart

    E-mail notifications are in plain text at the start and the end of a status event.
    The header is the same in both cases, which is not comfortable.

    The first word of the header of the second email, when the status is resolved, should be "RESOLVED" or something similar.
    In that way one would easily differentiate between an initial status event an the end of this event.

  3. Task Email Notifications NEED to include a link to the task.

    Notifications through email are very convenient but there needs to be a link to the task being referenced in the notiication email - there is currently a task number which makes it easier to find the task in GB but if there was just a link to the task, a reply comment or edit could be made.

    At the same time - there should be a link to the monitor site page from within the View Task page - this would make it very simple to receive an email notification from a task update - click on the link to…
