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.
WalkMe is a great tool to support digital transformation efforts at an organization--it can reduce the training/learning time for both the users and the creators. It can also support onboarding, change management, data integrity, and creating a seamless connection between platforms and many others. It's not a tool for simple, intuitive platforms that do not change frequently.
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.
I would like to see some way to manage versions of the help from release to release, as currently the only way to see/roll a help item back to a time in the past is to revert to that time.
We had run into some issues with duplicating images in the Assets Library, but that has just been fixed!
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.
WalkMe has done a great job of making their tool easy to use. However because it is a Firefox plugin it causes me to need another browser and sacrifice the left 2 - 3 inches of my display, when working on a laptop this makes it a bit painful. Also when publishing you can organize your list of walk-thrus, the window size is small and limited to the constraints of the WalkMe tool.
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 WalkMe Support Team was phenomenal. My support rep made a genuine effort to ensure my success with using the WalkMe Software. She was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable on the software. If there was a question she did not know the answer too, she would find the answer and get back to me as soon as possible
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.
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.
I couldn't successfully implement this product for trial and found support help was delayed. In comparison, despite also being based in another country, WalkMe's support was quick to help with queries and always eager to address the issue and go above and beyond to make sure I had the information I needed.
79% of our customers using a walk-thru agree that it has made it easy to handle their issue.
WalkMe has helped us lower costs associated with phone and ticket based support. Using WalkMe to promote self help over ticket creation has reduced our ticket contacts by 50%.
Many on our development team are leery of WalkMe. It is allowing someone outside of their department access to modify the user experience. However our leadership teams have been onboard with it.
