Overview

What is Medallia?

Medallia is an enterprise experience management platform that combines customer and employee signals from surveys, voice, chat, digital behavior, social channels, and operational systems, then applies AI-driven analytics and workflows to identify issues and coordinate action across the organization.


  1. Experience role: Medallia brings expressed feedback and observed behavior together across touchpoints. Total Experience Profiles connect interactions into continuous customer timelines spanning digital, phone, chat, and in-person activity, while operational data can add further context to individual experiences.
  2. AI analysis: text and speech analytics identify themes, sentiment, emotion, intent, and other patterns in unstructured data, while root-cause analysis helps teams investigate the factors influencing experience metrics, churn, revenue, and other business outcomes.
  3. Operational fit: automatic alerts, case management, personalized role-based reporting, and closed-loop workflows distribute findings to employees and managers so teams can respond to individual cases and broader experience problems rather than leaving insights inside dashboards.
  4. Commercial considerations: Medallia uses an annual Experience Data Record (EDR) pricing model. An EDR represents the data associated with a discrete customer or employee interaction, so pricing is designed around annual interaction volumes rather than primarily charging by survey responses or user seats.


Medallia is particularly relevant to large organizations that need experience signals, analytics, customer context, and closed-loop action workflows coordinated across multiple digital, contact-center, and physical touchpoints.
