Centercode Connect is a hosted software platform that provides all of the tools needed to run a beta program: recruiting, NDA management, product distribution, surveys, bug reports, forums, reporting, and more.
The better question here is for the company themselves. How important is the quality of your product and your user experience? Instead of managing things via Google Docs, spreadsheets and email, how about have a portal which organizes feedback, provides a platform to complete end-to-end testings and create a community? Centercode is that solution.
The Project Management style of logging tasks allows us to be nitty gritty with our beta testing
The ability to be able to cross check what other or similar items in the group captured adds value by visibly other issue similarity other testers captured
The ability to manage view access on a SSO config allows easy access only to those that are part of the actual beta testers on a "need to know" basis
To me personally, the user interface wasn't as daunting as it was compared to Confluence or product board. It made it easier to use without the need to undergo training. Keeping it simple and secure are just a few of its great asset features and together with ease of access (SSO) better controls of people view/access limitations
