- Product operations managing a structured request backlog
[ 01 | WHAT CANNY DOES WELL ]
Start with the job it is built for
CANNYCanny is a customer feedback management platform. It gives product teams feedback boards, public or private, where customers post requests and vote, plus a roadmap and a changelog to close the loop.
Customer posts and votes on the board. Built for Product teams, product operations.
[ 02 | WHY TEAMS LOOK ]
Three reasons the search for an alternative usually starts
Churn signals are not posted
The accounts most likely to leave rarely file a request and vote on it. They go quiet in usage, sharp in tickets and mention a competitor on a call. A board cannot hear that.
Votes are not revenue
A request with 40 votes from small accounts and one from an account renewing next month are not the same risk. Churn work needs each signal priced by the ARR and the renewal window behind it.
A roadmap is not an intervention
Closing the loop on shipped requests is good practice. Preventing a specific renewal from slipping needs a play for that account, this week, with an owner.
[ 03 | WHAT TO LOOK FOR ]
Five things to check in any alternative
Continuous reading
Sources connected once over OAuth and read all the time, so the pass is finished overnight rather than run as a project.
Themes with evidence
Every theme, risk or move one click from the quotes and records behind it, with a confidence score.
Revenue on every finding
The ARR of the accounts behind a theme or reaction, priced from your CRM, so priorities are argued with numbers.
Cause, not only effect
Whether a rise in complaints can be tied to the competitor move that caused it, with the lag measured.
An action at the end
A play with an owner at the autonomy you choose: Advisory, Supervised or Autopilot, with guardrails around pricing and renewals.
Security you can send to procurement
SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, GDPR and DPDPA, a sub-processor list and a plain statement that customer data is never used to train models for others.
[ 04 | HOW HYPERORBIT DOES IT ]
Three agents, one signal layer
HyperOrbit is an agentic customer intelligence platform for product, CX and revenue teams. Three agents, Chorus, Recon and Atlas, read every call, ticket, review, competitor move and usage signal, connect each one to the accounts it touches, and hand the team the action with the evidence and the revenue behind it.
Chorus, the voice-of-customer agent
Clusters reviews, calls, tickets and surveys into ranked themes and sub-themes, each with the quotes behind it and the ARR of the accounts that raised it.
Recon, the competitive intelligence agent
Watches competitor sites, changelogs, pricing pages and reviews every day, scores each move, and drafts a battlecard for the ones that matter, held for review.
Atlas, the account intelligence agent (beta)
Fuses what Chorus and Recon find with usage, support and CRM data into one health score per account, then watches every churn and renewal window you set.

[ 07 | FAQ ]
Questions people ask
Is Canny a churn prevention tool?
Not by design. Canny is a feedback management platform: boards, voting, roadmap and changelog. It hears customers who post. Churn prevention needs the signals from customers who do not, tied to account value and renewal dates.
Can I keep Canny and add HyperOrbit?
Yes, and it is a natural pairing. Canny stays the front door for explicit requests and the place you announce what shipped. HyperOrbit reads everything customers say elsewhere and watches the accounts.
How does HyperOrbit read churn risk?
Atlas fuses feedback, usage, support and CRM into one health score per account with the factors explained, and watches every churn and renewal window you set. Plays arrive with the evidence, an owner and a confidence number.
What does it cost to try?
Starter is free: Chorus on one feedback source and Recon on one competitor source. Atlas, in beta, is part of Enterprise, which is priced to the sources you connect.
