Contentsquare (Clicktale) vs Google Optimize

• In my experience ClickTale's unique value proposition is its heatmapping platform--and it delivers on that UVP very well. It has a suite of available maps each delivering unique and easily digestible insights.
• ClickTale provides very enlightening data that I haven't found anywhere else such as hover time, hover order, and hesitation.
• ClickTale also provides useful customizable segments, which allow for more granular data analysis.
• ClickTale is extremely easy to install.

• Easy to follow set up procedures. Once I walk a client through the process, it's effortless for them to emulate on subsequent tests.
• Lots of geo and user attribute customization features to be able to drill down into specific targeted audiences — all based on the power of Google's immense data system.
• Google Optimize is the logical choice for many people to start with since most are already familiar with and using GA.

• I always felt not providing me with the ability to grant others in my company with rights restricted access was a huge downside. This forced me into being the sole point of contact for anything that had to do with Clicktale.
• Hugely lacking in the ability for me to build reports using the quantitative data. It was very labor intensive for me to gather and analyze data from Clicktale.
• I missed out in a lot of functionality not having an enterprise level subscription. I had the gold subscription. Many of the things I wanted to capture were not possible without involving their developers - and that was only possible at the enterprise subscription level.

• Some metrics like the total number of users who participated in the test doesn't exactly match Google Ads numbers.
• Limitation on the number of concurrent tests that you can run.

• Rarely was actionable insight taken from the ClickTale tool that resulted in a better user experience on our website. We made small changes on different aspects of our webpages that typically did not show an improvement over the previous versions.
• The dedicated time and resources in the ClickTale tool did not justify the investment. The heat maps can be helpful but they are based on mouse clicks (Google Analytics can help with that). Watching recordings can get time consuming and don't always provide enough data for an actionable takeaway.
• If you take the approach of identifying a potential problem on your website first, then using the ClickTale tool to dig deeper in the issue, you might find the tool helpful. However, make sure you gather enough data on the potential issue before making changes to your site (and monitor the changes afterward).
