Overview

Anecdote continuously monitors customer feedback from sources like app store reviews and customer support tickets. With this integration, Anecdote sends any feedback that is classified as a bug to Datadog, in addition to the meta information that is available (version, operating system, etc.).

For every new reported bug, Anecdote sends an event to Datadog so you can create a case or an incident. In addition, the solution enables correlation analysis of machine signals (like CPU utilization) with user-reported signals. Using customer feedback data logs, you can significantly shorten the mean time to respond (MTTR) and systematically discover hard to replicate issues.

Anecdote monitors customer feedback from more than 80 sources, including:

• Support tickets (Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, and others)
• Public reviews (App Store, Google Play, and Trustpilot)
• Social media comments on Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook
• Customer surveys (SurveyMonkey, Typeform, Medallia, and others)

By aggregating and analyzing user-reported bugs in a unified dashboard, developers gain a comprehensive view of customer feedback, enabling them to prioritize and address issues more effectively.
