Apptentive
Apptentive is well suited for getting more feedback from mobile app users. It has all the tools to ask the right questions at the right time. It's less appropriate for simply an app metrics solution. While it provides metrics other mobile platforms would be better at compiling the correct metrics needed for insights.

Cons
Apptentive
  • Apptentive's metrics aren't as customizable as we would like but what it does measure it does a good job at.
  • Managing multiple apps (iOS and Android) can make for extra work because you're duplicating work on Notes and Events.
  • Finding the right way to interact can take multiple tests, surfacing best practices across the industry would be a help.

  • UX isn't the cleanest.
  • Finding where to actually start typing responses can be confusing for new users.

Alternatives Considered
Apptentive
We thought about Firebase, but we ultimately selected Apptentive because it is brand-agnostic. Using a Google app for an iOS application could have proved disastrous if the support for iOS had been lost down the line.

SupportBee
SupportBee is the "maximal point" of the combination of feature set, price point, ease of use, third party integrations, and client-facing functionality. Every other system we've tried is too expensive, impossible to use, too many features, too high a learning curve for our employees, or too difficult for our clients to interact with.
