Storylane makes telling the story of your software easy.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have a very complex product with a lot of variations. We used Storylane to quickly illustrate specific use cases to walk people through what was involved. I found the user engagement to be huge, it was a great mid-way between a video and a written document.

Pros

  • Allows you to easily grab the visual assets to create a walk through.
  • The analytics that are integrated give you a very specific view of engagement.
  • Even the most complex web pages can be saved in Storylane, definitely a robust engine.

Cons

  • The relationship between "pages" and "steps" can get very confusing if you are having to do a mass revamp of a saved story.
  • Some of the interface is less than intuitive than it could be.
  • I'm not a fan of mouse over features, I realize it is a modern metaphor, but it's a bad one.

Most Important Features

  • Branding.
  • Analytics.
  • Change log.

Return on Investment

  • We were getting thousands of engagements on our Story's.
  • We are able to use them as an educational resource when potential clients asked a question.
  • The SDR's were able to use them as assets to create interest.
