What do you like best about Grain?

As the revops manager, I like how simple to implement it is, and how simple to use. We onboarded Grain and no complaints from the team. It just works and records everything. Transcript is accurate, AI summary works like a charm; but both are mainly for English.

The product team is adding new features regularly, such as tagging people & commenting. It is really helpful for coaching. Conversatinal analytics were also missing but added recently. Clearly they are listening.

Cost-wise, it is not overpriced. An easy pick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

I believe automatic categorisation can be improved. I would like to be able to record only "some" of my external meetings, or I would like to send the AI summary to my Slack only for "some" of the call etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

We want to record every call for clear note-taking and dispute management. Also coaching the sales team, and doing retrospective analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grain?

This has changed how we do business. We use it everyday. Now people don't need to be syncronously in every meeting. If needed, someone can review the contents later - and that can be a specific clip or at 1.5x speed.

Some use cases this has helped with:

* What did the customer request or say on the call with sales? Now we have a record, not just heresay

* What is the context around customer feedback? Now we have it, and can share those clips, especially the encouraging ones, with the individuals building the product

* How do we get people onboarded? Have them watch calls, understand how to speak about issues, learn directly from what customers are saying

* What did we agree to in an internal meetings? We have a record

Grain helps with so many use cases and has truly deomcratized so many things that would be gatekept in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

I wish Grain was slightly more intelligent about digesting who is talking and summarizing based on that. In external meetings, I need most of the summary focused on what the customer said. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grain?

- Video recaps are easy to create and much more powerful than written notes

- Saves a ton of time taking notes

- Transcripts, highlights and stories lead to higher-quality research findings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

- As the only one in my compay using it currently, it feels a little harder to directly share. However, the ability to drop + view clips directly into Slack has helped overcome that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grain?

Before Grain, I relied on Zoom recordings to record user interviews I was conducting. But sharing insights in a easy-to-consume way was hard. And these recordings mostly went into a Notion database to die. I mostly recorded them for later, if in any case, I would have to look something up.

But with Grain, I could easily timestamp something in an interview and share that snippet to Slack. I still remember my first time using Grain and how groundbreaking that felt! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

Our engineers don't speak German, and most of our users are in German. Grain also transcribes videos. Now if the transcript could be translated, and then Grain would automatically generated subtitles for the video — or even generate automated synchronized voice in a foreign language of the speaker (hello LLMs!), this would be HUGE! Then engineers could watch user interview although it wasn't in their language! Wow! Maybe it could happen almost live? Just a thought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are recording lots of user interviews and needed an easy way to share the most important parts with the organisation to steer the focus of attention Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grain?

I am an attorney and I work at a law school. One of my duties includes supervising law students to prepare them for civil rights and restorative justice presentations. Students and colleagues love the transcripts and video recordings because it ensures that they can get detailed notes about everything stated. It's also extremely helpful for note taking purposes for any meetings that we may have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

I honestly can't think of anything that I dislike about Grain. My only complaint is the limited nature of the free option as either monthly or yearly billing isn't very affordable in my line of work. However, I believe that it would be worth the money! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

The greatest issue that Grain solves for me is note-taking management. I am extremely busy, so detailed notes (which I prefer) can be difficult. However, Grain provides me with a peace of mind that I didn't have before I was introduced to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grain?

It's super easy to use, transcribes calls, and makes it extremely simple to create clips that can be shared internally or externally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

There are lots of competitors in the market. Luckily, Grain has been awesome so far, so we haven't had any reason to look elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

Grain allows me to record my internal and external calls, and if I find great clips, I turn them into videos and share them on social media as content (once I get permission from the others on the call). It's the cheapest, fastest, and most geniune way of creating engaging content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grain?

Grain's highlight feature is a particular highlight! It has revolutionised the way we take and share meeting notes amongst our team.

We've also used grain for user interviews and the highlight reels went down very well with our client.

In terms of internal use, having grain auto-join meetings has been invaluable in the evidencing decisions and sign offs.

Get it! You won't regret it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

I'm struggling with this one. I genuinely can't think of anything noteworthy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since Covid, a lot of our processes as an agency moved online.

Meetings that previously were held in person are now often done through zoom. We've always been pretty good at note taking but grain has really helped here. We now auto record meetings and take highlight reels giving us a log of all decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
