    Appcues
    It is well suited for SaaS products or services that have a highly complex user interface. Through Appcues, you can ensure that people discover all the existing and new features and make them understand the value of your product as soon as possible to address the evergreen issue of churn. But if your user interface is really messed up, you should change the product itself instead of using a tool like Appcues to explain everything on the screen.

    Cons
    Appcues
    • We were extremely surprised that there are not any Appcues used in Appcues. The app is pretty easy to use, once you figure out how to use it. There were not any type of tutorials when we logged in that quickly walked through how to setup a flow.
    • Appcues has lots of support articles, however they are almost so numerous that it was hard to find simple onboarding documentation that we found useful.
    • The different tooltips and product actions are great, but being able to customize the different cues a little bit more by changing sizes and aspect ratios could be an improvement.

    • Getting the hang of the walkthroughs took me awhile and was hard for me to understand, but now I understand and love them!

    This rating is given as to a certain degree it is useful - as in the customer health dashboard and providing a very fast service which is easy to use for our users. However, as mentioned prior, the exportation of this data into presentable information (presentation style) is not really possible without doing yourself via screenshots and interpreting the data.

    Customer service and support is one of the biggest strengths for UserIQ, whenever there has been any issues or confusion, the help service is very effective and friendly to support us and get to a conclusion within no time, hence why the ranking given is extremely high for this factor. I would not say any improvement is needed in terms of this aspect of the company.

    It has a much, much better user interface, better customer care, and of course better pricing. This along with the fact that they were very accommodating for our use case ensured we went ahead with Appcues.
