Take a formal training class before diving in. It will benefit you greatly. I would suggest starting with an intermediate class if they have even a small understanding of the product beforehand.
Due to its price structure lick your ages best for smaller businesses it’s actually rather affordable. It also works best on WordPress Squarespace or Shopify websites. I would recommend that someone be in charge of managing the interface and be responsible for watching user behavior videos or you will lose out on Valuable insights. This product doesn’t want itself all that well two single page apps or websites with lots of website visitors one thing I wish that they would’ve let us do is only capture videos if a user did a specific action. Another issue is that the videos only were saved for 30 days.
Tealeaf is exceptionally useful for troubleshooting technical issues and investigating conversion problems. It gives you the ability to look at individual sessions, so that you can see exactly what steps the customer has taken to cause the problem. This way you can recreate errors, or determine if the layout of the site is confusing the customer and preventing sales.
Tealeaf allows you to create alerts to track specific problems. For example you can set an alert if the error handler on the site fires more than 5 times in 15 minutes, or if the completion rate of a specific process drops below a certain percentile. This lets your production support group get a jump on problems and gives them a chance to start working on a solution before the business users or the site help desk have reported the issue.
Tealeaf allows you to create reports and dashboards to track activities on your site. You can set these up to monitor sales, sign-ups, errors, traffic load, just about anything. You can arrange to have these reports sent by e-mail, so business users can be kept up to date on the status of the web site.
There are scorecards in Tealeaf that allow you to create reports to track a series of events. This let you see where people are falling out of a process so you can determine where customers are struggling and improve the customer experience.
It's possible to shadow-browse a customer's web session, allowing a help desk analyst to provide better customer service by seeing what the customer is seeing and following along with their session.
Aggregated data for a particular page type or directory is clunky and requires multiple steps.
Heatmap access requires direct input of targeted pages - having quick links would be easier.
Lucky Orange's code snippet can result in a site's security settings blocking the real-time heatmaps, requiring you to disable your security settings, remove site code, or manually debug your site code to view your heatmap overlays.
Tealeaf is a highly demanding tool that can report just about any KPI one can think of. The reward can be great if one is willing to put the time and effort into building a comprehensive and organized event structure.
The pricing options for large business are very lacking. The value of Lucky Orange doesn't really increase after your first 50,000 page visits but the service is on a sliding scale so the more traffic you have the more they charge. In addition, we got lots of useful information out of lucky orange in the beginning but after a while we knew what things needed to be fixed and are waiting on our developers to create the AB tests.
Pricing is another great feature from Lucky Orange. Even though they have increased it over time, they remain highly competitive and are still one of the only companies, if not the only one, that offers the combination of features that they have available on their site. So their overall value is going to be nearly impossible to beat. Besides their amazing value, the actual features that they include are very useful and not all companies included all of the features that they offered. For the pricing and the features, nobody else came close.
Provides context to developers - As with pretty much any programmer, they need context of user activity leading up to a problem in order for them to debug code. TeaLeaf does a great job of doing that. We can identify a problem in the code, search for a TeaLeaf (and Java application session) that has the problem in it and show the developers what the user was doing when the problem happened. This greatly speeds up the time to resolution.
