[Appcues] is a great service for self learning a software to train people a software and to beta test software applications. I see lots of possibilities for training that people who are not great with technology using Appcues but still the pricing is not the best in the other services in the digital adoption space
It is well suit[ed] because of professional virtual assistants. Also quality is a great concern with well developed strategy from implementation till execution. Customer support needs improvement in addressing individual customer needs. User level analytics should be incorporated. These concerns would be really helpful if taken into consideration. Otherwise, it's a great platform.
Appcues makes the setup process extremely simple. Rather than having to build all of the cues and flows into our app, we simply installed the Appcues code which essentially lays over top our app and allows us to build any new flows we'd like and push them live without having to consult our engineers.
Appcues provides a variety of cue options to display to users. There are tooltips, slide outs and full modals. This allows us to target users on different pages without being too invasive.
Their targeting and reporting is also superb. We're able to show flows to certain users based on URL paths and other actions they've taken within our app. We can also see some great reports of users who have completed our flows and metrics on where they stopped if they did not complete a flow.
We took a demo for Whatfix but thought them nowhere to be close to Appcue's functionalities. Even though I want more theming options in Appcues, it still has more variety than Whatfix. Also, to make changes to flows, Appcues is more nimble, and you can preview the resultant changes in seconds.
WalkMeVery comprehensive platform with lots of functionality but too complicated to actually get things done. Looked like a lot of effort to maintain and their team has not been super helpful WhatfixGood price and has many features but not a very robust platform. Encountered several bugs and our infosec team had privacy/security concerns Pendo Really strong analytics suite. Guidance and tooltips were not as easy to use. Probably good for software companies to see how their own apps perform, but not recommended when working with 3rd party software, therefore no fit for our use case to make life easier for our employees
