Likelihood to Recommend
[Appcues] is a great service for self learning a software to train people a software and to beta test software applications. I see lots of possibilities for training that people who are not great with technology using Appcues but still the pricing is not the best in the other services in the digital adoption space

Pros
  • Appcues makes the setup process extremely simple. Rather than having to build all of the cues and flows into our app, we simply installed the Appcues code which essentially lays over top our app and allows us to build any new flows we'd like and push them live without having to consult our engineers.
  • Appcues provides a variety of cue options to display to users. There are tooltips, slide outs and full modals. This allows us to target users on different pages without being too invasive.
  • Their targeting and reporting is also superb. We're able to show flows to certain users based on URL paths and other actions they've taken within our app. We can also see some great reports of users who have completed our flows and metrics on where they stopped if they did not complete a flow.

Cons
  • There are certain limitations of where tooltips can be placed, depending on the application is built.
  • The way 'appcues' are organized in the management console can be a little more user-friendly.

Alternatives Considered
We took a demo for Whatfix but thought them nowhere to be close to Appcue's functionalities. Even though I want more theming options in Appcues, it still has more variety than Whatfix. Also, to make changes to flows, Appcues is more nimble, and you can preview the resultant changes in seconds.
