Pendo.io is a product engagement platform with features for in-app analytics, surveys and feedback, and guidance.
It works very well for consumer-centric applications. If you had an app with in-app purchases, or a retail store app, or even a simple gaming application, Apptentive would be more powerful. In our case, we have an app that serves as a productivity tool, so Apptentive gives us great insight and tools, but we do not take advantage of them as much as other apps might.
Pendo.io is very well suited for organizations, who want to quickly connect with Customers without even directly talking to them. Pendo.io allows in-app guides and documentation to help organizations connect with their customers and guide them in their product. The feature tracking capability is the best to understand the page/feature usage also by segment to categorize and understand user behavior. Replays are somewhat helpful but still can have improvements. Less appropriate where the customer base is less.
The guide builder UI could be a bit more user-friendly; it's hard to remember where the different options are at first and takes some practice.
Interpreting user paths visually can be tricky at times, especially when trying to understand where drop-offs or blockers occur.
More granular user permissions so that I don't need to grant full admin rights to a user if I want to let them edit translations on a guide, for example.
We have had an excellent experience with Pendo. When we've had questions or concerns, Pendo is very quick to respond and communicate with us. We have experienced top-notch customer support and customer engagement. We have actually modeled some of our implementation and product processes after Pendo's examples.
It is intuitive for core tasks like tracking feature usage, building Guides, and viewing dashboards. The interface is clean and well structured, making it easy for product managers and operational teams to get value quickly without heavy technical support. However, there is a noticeable learning curve when setting up advanced custom events, reports, or integrations, which can take some time and internal knowledge-sharing to master.
Every time I have logged into Pendo, the service has been available for me to use. The page has never been down when I am trying to get info from there.
They've been great anytime that we have needed help with something. They also have some really great help articles. We're able to figure most things out through their articles, but when we've had to call in they've been very helpful and we haven't had any problems. I'd highly recommend working with them.
The training schedule was well thought out and tailored to meet our needs. Chantelle stayed with us through the whole implementation and made sure that we were good to go.
We haven't used or evaluated another tool similar to Apptentive. We selected it and it has worked for what we needed it for. I'm sure other solutions provide similar options. We keep Apptentive because it is already integrated with our apps and we've continued to be able to use it for what we need without worrying about how a new tool would connect to everything that goes into a mobile app.
Pendo.io excels at creating guides. The editor experience is precisely what anyone working with a DAP tool desires – unobstructed and focused on a single screen. Pendo.io boasts AI features, and the customization options exceed expectations. When we became more familiar with the product, we questioned why we hadn't considered it sooner. Pendo.io has simplified analytics, making them as straightforward as bread and butter. The number of widgets available for data representation in the dashboard is astounding. Furthermore, Pendo.io offers a wealth of features, including feature tagging, webpage tagging, Pendo Listen, NPS surveys, a resource center, and more. I used WalkMe for three years and encountered challenges achieving the desired flow for customer onboarding, which sometimes proved difficult. In contrast, Pendo.io makes everything achievable thanks to its ability to incorporate custom code into guide creations.
