    By far the best price for the available features. They had a really easy demo scheduling process (and had availability to demo within a day or two where some of the other products were a week+ to schedule). You can build unlimited guides and if you don't hit your user limit …

    I would recommend this to teams who have multiple people who can work together in getting the necessary source codes input, the guides built, and the parameters identified. I would also recommend this product to anyone who is primarily concerned about price. Compared to competitors, the price vs the feature set was by far the best out of the 6 companies I demoed with. If one person is trying to get this set up and it isn't part of their full-time job, it will take a while because there is a pretty big learning curve as to what order to do things. Further, once the basics are set up, it does take a fair amount of time and testing to build the walk-throughs, especially if you want to use advanced logic

    Well suited:
    • Web-based software with many users, complex processes (or both) --> Easy to fix a lot of common support / training issues very fast
    • Software rollouts with high costs associated to ensure user acceptance is great --> Great feedback from users
    • Multiple applications where processes are adjusted regularly --> Fast to roll out across many apps and easy to maintain
    Not so well suited:
    • Desktop apps -- > Doesn't really work for desktop
    • Mobile apps --> Limited support, only works for web-based mobile apps
    • Small user base (less than 50 users) --> Not required when there are only a few users

    Cons
    UserGuiding
    • The initial setup process isn't as transparently intuitive as it was sold
    • It's a fairly large barrier to entry for one person to get the guides set up
    • We weren't instructed how to 'turn off' the URL hits until we had our parameters segmented so the first two months we hit our limits before anything was even launched on our end. That made testing hard.

    By far the best price for the available features. They had a really easy demo scheduling process (and had availability to demo within a day or two where some of the other products were a week+ to schedule). You can build unlimited guides and if you don't hit your user limit because you failed to identify target parameters at the start, that is a huge selling point ;)

    Return on Investment
    UserGuiding
    • We lost two months due to running out of 'hits' before we were able to target the right fields. This was partly our fault for not having enough time to dedicate to it, but it would have been helpful to have a 'pause' button or be told to look out for this scenario.
    • We canceled our account after 4 or 5 months because I, as the sole user on our team, didn't have nearly enough time to build out the guides the way we had envisioned. It wasn't quite as easy to understand as I'd hoped. It was doable, but a slow process and I got too busy with other pressing issues with my company.
    • It would have been a good ROI for the available features and price if I'd had a solid amount of time to really build it out and understand it better. The training options could have been a lot more user-friendly to help bridge that knowledge gap.
