    It is well-suited when we are running a digital campaign, we are able to take the standard campaign metrics (impressions, CTR, etc.) and break them out by specific brands, device type, campaign variation, etc. It allows us to break down into the granular specifics of where we should iterate the campaign and make improvements/adjustments.

    Hotjar is good for a first pass at understanding user sentiment or locating potential usability issues. There are features such as "rage clicked" which shows recordings or instances when a user rage clicked or had an issue with your site. Hotjar has also been helpful to launch intercept surveys on mobile, desktop, and app, which not all competitor software allow. Hotjar recordings are fun to watch. "Watching Hotjar like Netflix" is a favorite pastime at work.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • Customer journey analytics can be used to analyse data from a range of data sources and the data can be visualised, filtered etc. by users.
    • It also allows users to handle custom data to handle their specific needs and the data can be catered as per users need its like your own customised platform.
    • The best part is the integration users can connect this to various other platforms with one ID. This helps the user with easier usage and less hassle as everything is kind off a click away.

    • Heat mapping is great on Hotjar. It is a good place to start when you are looking at the UX & CRO on your website. You can see the % of people clicking on elements on a page, how far they scroll, and mouse movements.
    • Hotjar is great for session recordings. These record the mouse movements, clicks, pages and scrolls of a user in video format. You can watch these to investigate what works well on a site and identify potential roadblocks and bugs.
    • Hotjar is great as it ensures that users details are anonymous; for instance, if you are watching a session recording, you cannot see what a user types in a form field, as Hotjar blanks this out.
    • Hotjar has a poll function, so you can have polls on your website.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • When you come from the Google Analytics environment, where the dashboards are out of the box and built for you, it is a shock to go to a system where you have to build your own. This is especially true, if you are in an enterprise organization that has rolled out Adobe Customer Journey Analytics across all domains, but has not provided support to build dashboards.
    • It would be great to have more out of the box dashboards or templates provided to all users. Not sure if this is too complex for an enterprise use case.

    • Hotjar is primarily used for web-based experiences. Not that easy to use on mobile apps.
    • I'd love to see Hotjar integrated with Google Analytics for an even deeper view.
    • Hotjar is primarily used by smaller organizations...pricing can get steep quickly for larger organizations.

    It's the most customizable and flexible analytics tool I've used. While the tool can be slow and clunky at times, the value it provides far outweighs those issues. Being able to bring offline data and merge with web data to combine in one place is where clients need to be get the most success out of their data

    For small companies with limited user testing budgets, ClickTale serves as a useful user testing tool. When I cannot get the funds for in depth user testing, I always know that I have a baseline of information I can rely on

    It is fairly easy to use, easy to explain, and easy to learn even for a non-techie like me. I admit I was a little intimidated when it was recommended by my developers, but I learned afterwards that there really was nothing to worry about. My experience has been awesome so far!

    Adobe Customer Journey Analytics does really well running reports. As data or date ranges get bigger, it sometimes has issues running. When there are a lot of freeform tables used, it takes a long time for data to load. There are time where Adobe Customer Journey Analytics is down during work hours, which makes it hard to do work in the workspace.

    Good enough tools and offline support. We had a model of "hypercare" that was mostly good, sometimes not good. But that was more personality/people based, rather than established processes. Overall the support was timely and effective

    Hotjar is a SaaS-based company, and as such has a good support service. Users can quickly submit support tickets through Hotjar's online portal. Enterprise customers get access to additional support members and have SLAs to support their larger, more complex needs. Overall, Hotjar is extremely reliable and I've never had to reach out to customer support.

    Should be staged differently. It should be Do online stuff, get basic skills/qual. Then do "homework" type tasking, then come to class with an instructor. We got the traditional "start from 0, then step 1, then step 2..." training. This usually saps energy/focus. All training should be like a lab/practice session. If someone needs information or basic knowledge ... put it in a elearning, FAQ, job aid, or resource page.

    Should have more of this for the 101-level stuff. No one needs a Zoom class covering the basics. I need a "guide on the side" when I'm learning new stuff. I want support while I practice.

    ContentSquare [(Clicktale)] is going deeper on UX understanding than traditional web analytics tools. You can truly understand how a page is used (where users click or even miss click, on which part of the page they are spending most of their time, if some links are clicked but bad positioned on the page...), and that's a thing you can't really measure trough a traditional web analytics tool.

    You have the ability to create 'user groups' with different levels of access in CJA. We helped set this up for a large organiztion where they had marketers, executives, devs and analysts all having different levels of access to use CJA but with the appropriate guardrails in place for each user group. It worked out really well for their organization.

    • As a consultant specializing in implementation, this has been very good for my business objectives.
    • My clients have found it very useful, as long as they receive training and support on how to use it. I have worked at organizations where it is not properly utilized because people are "afraid" to learn it.
    • It has delivered key insights for organizations, leading to improvements in their site design and conversion funnel.

    • Our UX team can now use hard data to back up and validate design decisions that we make. Our role as usability experts is becoming more respected and integral to business objectives because we now have data that can back up our field of study and prove that our roles are demonstrably useful and necessary.
    • HotJar allows our small team of 3 UX designers to get research data as if we were a much larger team. Instead of painstakingly using our time to do guerrilla research, endless user observations, and other types of manual testing, we can now get a significant portion of our data from HotJar.
    • Using HotJar is actually giving our team a sense of excitement and enjoyment in our day-to-day usability work. Instead of seeing UX as a chore, HotJar is making data gathering and analyzing more fun, because we can see tangible results from a much larger pool of user/user-data than we could in the past.
