Maze - good for short surveys and basic figma testing at scale
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use maze to test new designs, layout, UI, content and messaging as well as get feedback on general prototypes. We've not tested the in-app popups as we had an issue where we trialed them, and disabling them didn't work. This was over a year ago now and the support have always been super responsive, but we've not retried installing the in-app popup.
Pros
- Presenting a report
- Guides users on good figma file structure
- Creating short feedback surveys
Cons
- No tools to make video or audio review and faster
- Recently enabled forced video/audio as a requested feature, but can't set it to only some questions
- Setting paths through figma is annoying and gets wiped if you need to update the file
- moving questions about is a PITA if the survey is long
Return on Investment
- made usability testing accessible as scale, reducing cost
- reduced time to test, increasing velocity
- yet another subscription to manage, too expensive to move from basic to middle tier
