Why our customers chose Productlane
Productlane helps thousands of user-centric teams streamline customer support and create better products.
"Invaluable tool for customer/user intel"
It transformed our engineering process to being massively more customer and feedback oriented.
We can feel much more confident that the things we work on are delivering value, because we literally hear that they are from actual users before we commit resources to them.
Jeff Escalante
Engineering Director, Clerk
"Best feedback tool for Linear users"
We use Productlane to share plans with and get feedback from users. It's a great way to store user feedback and the tight integration with Linear works great and makes our lives easier by reducing duplication.
Brandon Bayer
CEO, Flightcontrol
"Streamlining communication frictionless"
Productlane streamlines communication with our sales and support teams. With their portal, our whole team can access our Linear roadmap and add new feedback to it. Their Slack integration is really frictionless and turns every message in a Slack channel into a Productlane note.
