VERDICT

Should I use Dovetail?

Dovetail is the leading customer intelligence platform. Assemble. Analyze. Act. Turn feedback into real-time insights that drive innovation and growth. - dovetail.com

Depends. Buy if you're a mid-size or enterprise product/research org drowning in interviews, tickets, and calls and can absorb sales-led pricing. Skip if you're a small team that just needs a tagged spreadsheet of feedback.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~14 public sources; no Dovetail pricing figures, named customers, or security incidents found in evidence.
