Who Uses Ethnio?

With Ethnio, Levi’s was able to complete a research study involving moderated interviews and automated testing using Usabilla in one day. Having users at their own computers allowed them to see behavior across multiple websites and prototypes.

Autodesk uses Ethnio to recruit for all kinds of research and even beta programs. Simple 7-10 question screeners refine the websites audience into the segments they need to have confidence they're working with the right people.

Adobe has used Ethnio to identify more than 20,000 candidates for research participation since 2008. Screeners like the one at left are the first step in the process.

Blurb has done a number of live research studies, using Ethnio to invite and interview users just as they are creating a new book, and observe their behavior. By the end of one day of research, they have a clear idea of what steps to take to improve their web site in the next iteration.

At left is the invite Sony displays on their web site to invite participants to moderated usability interviews, automated studies, and card sorts. Ethnio's ability to recruit shoppers in real time has allowed Sony's web teams to observe highly motivated users working on self-driven tasks and to make adjustments to their sites to improve conversion.

Since 2007, Intuit has recruited participants for moderated interviews, card sorts, and unmoderated remote research using Ethnio. The ability to see users interacting with their websites in real time from their own native environments has helped them focus their development efforts.
