Autodesk faced the challenge of manually analyzing thousands of survey responses, which delayed actionable insights and hindered their ability to drive rapid product improvements. By leveraging Insights Explorer, the company reduced its data analysis time, empowering the research team to focus on accuracy and deeper strategic work.
The challenge
Autodesk faced a challenge in quickly extracting actionable insights from large volumes of feedback in their design community. Their quarterly “Trust Survey for Fusion” collected around 2,000 responses, but manual analysis took up significant time and resources. Traditional methods made it difficult to perform in-depth, real-time analysis, limiting the ability to drive rapid improvements.

The solution
With Insights Explorer, Autodesk was able to drastically reduce the time needed to identify key themes from open-text responses—from 2 days to less than 5 minutes. This allowed the research team to focus on ensuring accuracy and deeper analysis. Moving forward, Autodesk plans to use Insights Explorer as a first step in their process, helping to quickly surface themes before diving into detailed data collection.
“Insights Explorer allows us to mature our practice by freeing up time to explore deeper, more complex correlations between data as opposed to spending time on first-level coding.” – Elise Lockwood, User Research Manager
