Pros
Many users have found WalkMe to be easy to use and get up to speed with in just a few days. They appreciate the intuitive user interface, which makes it extremely quick and easy to implement the software within their platform. Users appreciate the many advanced features that WalkMe offers, allowing power users to explore and create innovative solutions. These features provide users with the flexibility and customization options they need for their specific workflows. The great analytics provided by WalkMe have been praised by users. These analytics give insights into platform usage, adoption by users, and surveys. Users find these insights valuable in understanding how their customers are using the product and making data-driven decisions.
I've used WalkMe across multiple systems, mainly for onboarding and for user education as well as automation, new feature adoption, and feedback surveys. I've also used it on the mobile platform to guide users and highlight new features. I worked initially as a client reviewing digital adoption software to raise a business case for the implementation, the care and support for this by the WalkMe growth and support teams far outweigh the competition proving that not only was their product superior, but their support was as well. I then started to pitch WalkMe when I went for a new contract, including it as a training and change management approach for new system implementations to help the users transition and reduce the need for other training resources.
Pros
Customer support
Digital adoption
Customer engagement
Enablement
Value realization
Success management
Aligning to business objectives
Providing fast ROI
Cons
Cohesion between teams
Investment into products left on the outskirts e.g. WalkMe Share
Utilise customer/partner input

New system implementation - if you're switching or upgrading systems, you can ease users through the transition by providing in-system contextual guidance, extra tips, and automating clicks they don't need to worry about.
Data integrity - if you have users making mistakes in the system, you can add validation with WalkMe without the need for developer time and reduce those errors and upstream problems, and related costs
Reducing support tickets - if you have support tickets coming through about how to do tasks in a system, you can reduce the time and cost of your support staff answering these tickets by addressing the queries with WalkMe content
Change management - ease users through change with guidance and provide in-system surveys
Onboarding - bring new users quickly up to speed with onboarding tasks
Automation - automate your regular processes and cut system time, freeing users up for more important tasks
Process/system analysis - use the analytics to track where users are dropping off in processes and making errors and address these with WalkMe content
User experience - make your system more user friendly
I use WalkMe to provide just-in-time help for our web-based enterprise software. We are trying to help users quickly learn and understand our product so they can be successful using the product. We also use WalkMe to understand what the customer pain points are and how we can anticipate and prevent those pain points and include WalkMe help items to guide the user in best practices and ultimately success using our software.
Pros
Allows us to provide just the right amount of help at different points in the product use workflow.
Allows us to segment the help to show only relevant help at different points in the UI.
Allows us to link help items together and guide users to more and more information as needed.
Allows us to link to outside sources for additional information/support.
Cons
I would like to see some way to manage versions of the help from release to release, as currently the only way to see/roll a help item back to a time in the past is to revert to that time.
We had run into some issues with duplicating images in the Assets Library, but that has just been fixed!

My experience has only been with web-based software and WalkMe is serving us great by providing help for the same. We can scale the help to as little or as much as we want/need for each user workflow. Because the help collection is searchable and linkable, users can quickly find their way around the help system and also find more and more information as needed.
We use WalkMe to help our customers easily understand our systems. We use it to guide users through the system, to show tooltips and validation messages, to show popup notifications, and so on. We chose it because it saves our time and effort to implement the above features in the system. It also gives us a powerful dashboard that gives us insight into the usage of our systems.
Pros
User Guidance
Tooltips
System Usage report
Improved UX
Cons
The bot feature
The API integration could support many more systems. It still supports many.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you target to guide users through the system, to show tooltips and validation messages, to show popup notifications, and so on, I recommend going for it as it saves your time and effort to implement the above features in your system. WalkMe also has a nice support team.

WalkMe was purchased to help customers integrate and adopt in a self-serve fashion. It has failed on all fronts at this point and we no longer use the solution. The support team has failed to delivery a resolution and as we've tried to cancel it's been an absolute nightmare of them ignoring the request.
Pros
Over selling
Under delivering
Leaving issues unresolved
Cons
Technical delivery of the solution - Mobile and Web integration
Terminating services upon request
Likelihood to Recommend
WalkMe was unable to deliver for us, but we didn't have hard feelings. We just needed to move on. WalkMe has made it incredibly difficult to cancel our agreement at the end of our term. I've been working on it for over 6 months now and their team has been radio silent in the process or worse promising a call and then never delivering. I can only think they were trying to beef up the books as they prepped for IPO as a reason for this level of poor service.

WalkMe is used across multiple departments in our company to help new users learn how to use our application and existing users to become familiar with new features. It is used to guide users through tasks and automate certain functions. Using WalkMe enables us to provide help and support to users without needing to grow our team.
Pros
Most customizable product in the market.
Great help content and support team.
Includes add-on modules such as insights, actionbot and LMS.
Cons
Very expensive compared to competitors.
Takes quite a while to learn all the features and how to implement them successfully.
Likelihood to Recommend
WalkMe is great for guiding users around features in your application. It can show them where menus, options, and features are located. It can also be used to guide them through tasks, however, if the task is quite complex, the guided tours can be hard to set up correctly. The reporting and insights tool helps track the effectiveness of the tours as well as user behavior to help you improve the tours as well as in-app features.
WalkMe is used to guide users through processes, give users an overview of the system, and to provide shortcuts to administrators to access process-specific documentation.
Pros
Flexibility
Customization
Cons
More dynamic URLs.
Easier organization and navigation of the builder.
Likelihood to Recommend
End-user guidance, form validation, post-release walkthroughs, and activity tracking are all good uses of WalkMe.
Being a Software development company, our organization used WalkMe to improve the ease and speed at which new users and clients were able to adopt and become fluent in the use of our various software products. In certain instances, a given software may not be intuitive for every user; this depends on the user's degree of skill, use of similar products, and the UI of the given software. In cases such as these, the WalkMe product allowed our organization to create comprehensive walkthrough tutorials, and a massive library of digital knowledge-base assets, which assisted our clients and saved our support team significant time and resources.
Pros
Phenomenal customer support.
It has very useful tools and features -- new features are released regularly, consistently improving the software.
Very intuitive UI -- implementing the WalkMe software within our platform was extremely quick and easy.
Cons
Given my role in the implementation of this tool, I cannot think of anything that the company did poorly. I loved using the software and found it incredibly useful.

If your company produces software in which there may be a particularly steep learning curve, WalkMe is an excellent tool for bringing your users up to speed on the full functionality of your software/platform. For instance, let's say you have an email marketing platform in which users can build and send emails. From your analysis of your customers' use of the platform, and from your review of the most common support tickets, you find that your customers find it especially hard to import pictures into an email. Using the WalkMe software, you are able to create a digital walkthrough within your email marketing platform, which teaches users to import pictures. This saves your support team time and money, and improves your users' experience and confidence in your platform.
WalkMe is being used as an adoption and training tool. It's mainly being used by the customer support team for my business unit but not across the entire organization.
My company offers a relatively robust media planning and buying platform. WalkMe allows us to proactively provide step-by-step instructions for users of our platform as well as generate important messages on site without relying on our development team.
Pros
WalkMe allows us to generate very specific step-by-step instructions on certain workflows within our media buying platform.
WalkMe allows us to look in on a user's experience to trouble shoot user reported issues.
WalkMe allows us to easily connect our web-based knowledge center into our application.
Cons
The set up of Walkme is very time intensive and requires a great deal of effort to implement effectively.
WalkMe only offers a firefox extension to use their tools.
WalkMe's insights aren't as useful as I'd like.
Likelihood to Recommend
There are certain workflows in our platform that are not super intuitive so we use WalkMe's auto-launcher to run Walkthrus that guide users through some of the less intuitive flows in our platform.
WalkMe would be less appropriate on an application that is very user friendly and intuitive.
We are using Walkme to support our users on our software. The idea is to provide tutorials and walk throughs on our platform so clients can self learn how to use it. We also use it to highlight new features or releases. It is managed by our support team and is aimed to deflect tickets.
Pros
Easy to create pop up / shoutouts
Possibility to personnalise the user based on certain criteria
Possibility to have very detailed tutorials
Fairly easy to start using and implementing
Cons
Not so easy to know which user is doing what
Integration with other softwares
Likelihood to Recommend
Good to show things for new users and to create new contents quickly. This is a good alternative vs. asking your R&D to think about client communication. Not so good to integrate it as part of your customer lifecyle - you'd want CSM to know which walk throughs their clients have done
