User Interviews vs. UserTesting

Good: - When one needs to recruit participants for User research fast. It’s particularly fast when someone doesn’t need niche sample - bad: - n/a (it’s difficult for me to say when I’m using it for 3 years with multiple clients and I’m a researcher. User interview does what I need)

When working with general market customers. For example, a person between the ages of 30 and 60 who has a checking account and a mortgage with their primary bank, as long as they don't get too specific about a particular bank.

• Product Manager who follows up on your UserTesting usage and gives advice/support when you need it.
• UserTesting University is a great platform to learn how to use UT and general information about research.
• UserTesting can find participants quickly, so you won't need to wait long before you can start the analysis.

• A centralized platform to recommend products and use cases would be handy so that users can suggest what they could use more of.
• Integration with newer payment methods and gift card services could expand the user base.
• Some products are business-critical and thus require sophisticated testing. This service could be added.

I'm actually trying to get a license for my current job at my current company (recently moved to a new company). I gave it this rating because I am about to go to our executive to ask that we purchase it! I know that there will be value because we are forecasting a high volume of research next year

It can be difficult to organize our tests and go back and find information. I think the AI tools are helping and will help with this, but for now it is time consuming to sort through all of the tests and information and then synthesize it and share it with others. It just takes a lot of time.

Perfectly fine. Never had any problems.

I've used the "power hour," as I think it's called. This really helped me gain a greater understanding of my specific needs and wants from the platform. This excellent service points to the excellent relationship UserTesting provides its clients. I would recommend this service to any of my colleagues.

From a technical perspective, the implementation was extremely smooth. Most of the change management / implementation hurdles were clearing use of the tool through our various security, legal, and information privacy teams. Once these concerns were addressed (UserTesting.com was very helpful in providing all the needed documentation), the implementation process was very simple and we were able to get going right away.

User Testing: - UI has the great feature of double screening that you can really select your participants based on the research requirements and they are not approved automatically.

Therefore not every question in the screener needs to be filtering.

UserTesting is probably the most polished with the largest tester pool, fastest turnaround, and great tools for both moderated and unmoderated tests. Userlytics is a solid alternative, especially for the budget-conscious. It supports usability testing on lots of devices, and you can do both moderated and unmoderated sessions. The UI isn’t as seamless as UserTesting’s, but it gets the job done and it's pretty flexible in terms of study setup and participant targeting.
Trymata is the most basic, but it’s relatively straightforward and affordable. You still get session recordings and written responses, but lacks dashboard polish or advanced features. It’s great for smaller teams or one-off tests.

The package we have limits the number of people who can set up tests. This prevents us from scaling the use of the platform.

• We can build tests and gather the insights from those tests to validate our products at a breakneck pace.
• By quickly validating our assumptions, we can adjust or refine our designs to ensure the final results are more user-focused.
• Recently, by testing and comparing two different flows for a form, we were able to create the right solution that gave us better leads compared to the former form. This results in better leads, better data about the user, and better support at the end for this user.
