I have used Aurelius a couple of times and I appreciate the product overall. There are specifically 2 things I love about it: 1. It reduces the time and energy for the analysis and synthesis part of research. Usually I would use a mix of word, excel and mural/miro but with Aurelius it comes together in one platform which saves time and connects nodes of information better. 2. I could create a repository with tags and which meant info from past projects or multiple researchers doesn’t end up in a PDF or PowerPoint presentation somewhere, it can be leveraged for future products to connect various points of information and reference.
Aurelius really does free your research! This tool allows researchers and designers to spend a lot more valuable time on identifying the important insights that will drive good decisions, and a lot less time crafting heavy deliverables that are hard for stakeholders to digest. The ability to take, tag and group notes, create clips to share with clients/colleagues, and develop insights and recommendations *actually backed by real research findings* AND *all in a single tool* is a game-changer. And the ability to share findings with just a link is super slick for remote teams. Love this tool!
I've used Aurelius for a couple years now, and it delivers on all its promises. At my last job, we were in the situation that Zack described of having a bunch of different tools being used to create a bunch of fragmented bits of research documentation all over the place, which made synthesis really painful. After going through the whole process of evaluating all the tools out there that claimed to be great for user research, Aurelius was the only one that didn't feel like a bolt-on to some other product that was originally designed to do something else. The fact that it was designed by a UX researcher for UX researchers is clear in every feature. I recently switched to a new company, and I lobbied hard to start using it with the new team, because I know firsthand how quickly it allowed my last team to find previously overlooked insights. And how easy it made it to present those insights to leadership as part of a clear story with clear recommendations. Again, it's clear that this tool is built by a UX researcher, because the workflow of getting from a sea of raw data to actionable, supported recommendations feels so logical. I really can't recommend it highly enough.
