Using Lookback for a variety of types of User Interviews and user testing sessions is very valuable. it allows you to organize your interviews in a way thats really team accessible. Making highlight reels that you can share with the rest of the team to show video insights from real customers is really powerful.

These types of tools are not inexpensive so we pick and choose the site we are going to run it on. We do not generally use Mouseflow on websites that are not monetized in some way. However, if a web site has to perform a function such as sales, calls to action, etc. then this tool can make the job of making a page do what it is meant to do much easier. I think with the sophistication of both Web Site and Web Site users these types of tools are essential to creating the best UX possible.

Cons
  • Unmoderated interviews is still under cooked as a feature
  • The process of how participants have to download an app to start an interview is a large friction point for us

  • Screen recording on mobile devices can be a little clunky.
  • I would like to only record sessions from a specific geographic area, but don't have the option. I can filter afterwards, but would prefer to exclude traffic that is not local altogether.
  • Filtering options don't allow me to filter recordings based on a partial URL.

Usability
Once you understand how the interface works, it works great, but there is a learning curve

Mouseflow is pretty easy to use. You need to be a core technical person to implement it on your site. Mouseflow provided us a tracking code that need to be installed on the website, and if do not have the knowledge of how to work on the backend of the website, you will not be able to install it. Here you will need the help of a technical person who has a good knowledge of your website platform to install the code on the website. There are also videos available giving insight on how to use the Mouseflow platform. I personally haven't faced any problem while using Mouseflow. Just login to this tool and a dashboard will open in front of you.

This is an area where Mouseflow is quite strong. Not only is the support good but they also have some very good training on the use of the product. There is a nicely laid out section of videos that not only cover the use of the tools functions but also how to use the data that Mouseflow produces. They are doing well in the support area.

Alternatives Considered
Zoom was way more expensive and it o is designed to other things apart from just running qualitative interviews. It also requires a different kind of approval and different approval processes to go through when trying to get it simply for qualitative research purposes.
Lookback records, scribes, helps observe and provides a sentiment check as well in the price that it does

Each of these tools has a similar underlying offering. Mouseflow is probably the least mature offering in terms of feature set and reliability, but it is a competitor product that is working hard to work out the engineering kinks. They also have great customer service representative who are willing to listen and are very helpful. You also get a capable tool with a great feature set at a reasonable price - in some cases Mouseflow was just 1/10th of the price. Ultimately with a constrained marketing budget, this tool made sense for us.

Return on Investment
  • It allows stakeholder engagement and that’sa huge plus especially if it’s happening discretely in the background and theyre not interrupting the interview

  • MouseFlow makes a positive impact on our future marketing decisions. We recently had a change in formula for a product and added a variety of ways for people to read about the changes via our website. Mouseflow allowed us to see which method was effective in communicating our message. We were able to replicate the style on other digital platforms.
  • Mouseflow allows us to save time we would normally spend in developing a website. For example, before building a new website I will spend a couple of weeks analyzing user data via mouseflow. I can clearly see what features are not currently working and where we are loosing people in the current process. This cuts down website revisions by about 10%
