Acoustic Tealeaf vs. Glassbox

Tealeaf is a must for any site that has a key business process that drives revenue for a company. It is not limited to only capturing a small percentage of visitors to your site, it captures every visitor to your site. A lot has changed to the last year for Tealeaf for the good. There are many more options to for capturing data including a cloud and SaaS offering. Take a look again if you haven't seen it in a while.

Glassbox is a customer experience management platform that provides various tools, including Interaction Maps, to help organizations understand and improve the customer journey. Some specific scenarios where Glassbox is well suited include: Identifying pain points in the customer journey: The Interaction Maps feature provides a visual representation of customer interactions, allowing organizations to easily identify where customers may be struggling and take action to resolve the issue. Proactively addressing issues: With the Interaction Maps feature, organizations can proactively address issues as they arise, rather than relying on customer feedback to identify problems. Improving customer service: By understanding the customer journey, organizations can improve the overall customer experience and provide top-notch customer service. On the other hand, there may be some scenarios where Glassbox is less appropriate, such as: Organizations with a limited budget: Glassbox is a subscription-based service, so it may not be suitable for organizations with a limited budget or those who are not willing to make the investment in customer experience management tools. Organizations with minimal online presence: Glassbox is primarily focused on improving the online customer journey, so it may be less appropriate for organizations with a minimal online presence.

• Speed of searching for web sessions and users. This particular feature seems to impress me the most. When researching incidents where users report to have difficulty on our site, all we need is any of the unique identifiers of a user (email address used, IP address, user id) and we can locate their session(s) almost immediately in TeaLeaf.
• Multiple conditional events - I really like how we can have events contain already existing events. This helps a great deal if issues being researched become even more complex.

• I like the ease of access that is provided to our internal users
• Super easy integration with our site and other tools
• The ability to navigate to any session, review the details and make actionable notes for resolution
• The ability to exclude sensitive information from being recorded.

• IBM is still working out a solution for seeing Mobile App traffic in Tealeaf. What they have now allows you to see the response and request, but it doesn't show where the customer is actually clicking. They've promised that newer versions will be better with this.
• Tealeaf is pushing a web based viewer, trying to make this the standard over the more robust and extremely useful desktop based Tealeaf Viewer. the Web Based viewer is slow and clunky and just not as flexible, but IBM insists on pushing customers towards it. Last I heard, they plan for their mobile solution to only work in the web based viewer.
• Recently IBM moved all the support documentation for Tealeaf to the IBM Support portal instead of Tealeaf.com where it has been for years. This completely broke the in application Tealeaf Help. At the time of my last use of Tealeaf near the end of November 2013, when you tried to search help from the Tealeaf web portal, you were sent to the IBM support site, and once you logged in, the search request was lost and you had to start the search again. The search of the help files is also nowhere near as good as the original tealeaf.com help site. Also, if your users tried to use help, they were out of luck because only the Tealeaf Admins have access to the IBM support portal. At first they insisted that they were not going to fix this for older versions of the software, but instead only release a fix when the next version of Tealeaf was release. There was a large discussion about this on the LinkedIn forum and IBM has said they're working on a solution, but I'm not sure when/if that will get release.

• Some shiny new features are hard to use and/or optimize
• The email templates need improving. They are stiff and unfriendly.
• Ticket support is a bit weak. Slow response times and opinions for answers instead of facts.
