Canny vs. Ducalis Prioritization Approach
Canny has a simple model to prioritize your customer’s feedback.
Ducalis allows you to sync the existing backlog from your task tracker, matches it with your users’ feedback, and creates a collaborative prioritization framework. It helps you better understand each idea’s value and removes the gap in your existing backlog, customer requests, and product goals.
Canny vs. Ducalis Task Tracker Integrations
It’s important to capture user feedback and deliver the most impactful features.
Both Canny and Ducalis offer connections with task trackers.
There are three main differences in integration with these tools:
1. List of supported task trackers
2. The method of integration
Ducalis syncs issues, not just links. You can see the same task description inside Ducalis as the way it appears in your task tracker (read more about Ducalis 2-way sync features).
3. From the perspective of tasks, you can see your priority list
Canny can link only existing users’ feedback with your task tracker. This means you still don’t have the whole picture of your backlog, as there will still be some internal ideas, tech debts, bugs, etc., which you will have to manage and prioritize separately. Ducalis’ goal is to remove the gap between your internal and external ideas.
Canny vs. Ducalis Changelog Analytics
Canny and Ducalis offer the embedding of a changelog widget with a list of new features. After rolling out a new feature, you can promote it to your user base via this widget.
Ducalis’ goal is to ensure the requested feature is delivered to the right user who requested it.
Canny has a dedicated section where you must write release notes from scratch. It’s more like a blog platform.
Ducalis not only informs users but also tracks exactly who reads about your new feature. It sends auto-feature release notes and builds a subscriber base of those who are loyal to your product and willing to learn what new features you release.
Ducalis’ widget was designed for two goals:
1. Make sure that particular users read your updates
Has reading tracking built-in and shows the actual number and list of readers.
2. Subscribe loyal users to your changelog updates
Inform everybody willing to learn about your new features.
