Chose Crazy Egg
We felt that Crazy Egg is easy to set up and use when compared to other tools. Also, the pricing is affordable so we gave it a try and it works for us.
Chose Crazy Egg
I will say that I didn't evaluate or select Crazy Egg, it's been a legacy tool that has been at the company before me. Honestly, we're not even sure of all of the features/functionality that we can use. Me, as a UXR, I think there are some other tools that would help me more in …
Chose Crazy Egg
We selected Crazy Egg because it was cheaper and simpler to implement than other tools we evaluated. Other tools felt too complicated for the first step in heat mapping, but as a growing organization trying to learn more about our users, it felt like the optimal first step for …
Chose Crazy Egg
Hotjar is more expensive than Crazy Eggs, and we needed a tool to fit the budget for small comp. With more time, we could have tested it deeply also to have a better opinion, it seems to be great too
Chose Crazy Egg
I've only had experience with this one customer insight tool
Chose Crazy Egg
I have not used another software all that similar to Crazy Egg. I find Crazy Egg to be a unique tool to incorporate into your analytics, though I have seen similar software out there.
Chose Crazy Egg
If I were in charge of the purchase decision, I probably would've gone with Hotjar, as they have additional qualitative data collection abilities other than heat and click maps. However, I inherited the purchase decision. Crazy Egg has been great for our click and heatmap needs.
Chose Crazy Egg
I did not evaluate other software. I knew of Crazy Egg through its fantastic reputation and fell in love right away!
Chose Crazy Egg
It is very simple to use, everything from setting up to seeing the results. You can easily export everything into a JPG or PDF and share it with clients. CrazyEgg is also more value oriented with a lower price point.
Chose Crazy Egg
There are a lot of tools with similar feature and closely equal pricing- This factor is the most confusing. As we need something for our website and not every tool has everything and it took time for us to understand this. We choose Crazy Egg for its ease of using and anyone …
Chose Crazy Egg
Crazy Egg a bit low on features and has a not so friendly interface. But depending on the complexity of your team/projects/experience in digital marketing, it is a great place to start. It's budget friendly. If you have an advanced analytics or A/B testing solution it's a nice …
Chose Crazy Egg
I've used Tealeaf which does click tracking, but the shortcoming is that it does it only on truly clickable elements. You miss out on the non-clickable elements that are being clicked, which is really valuable information. IBM sells an upgrade that adds that, but it costs a …
Chose Crazy Egg
ClickTale has more options than Crazy Egg - both in terms of heatmaps, and additional tools (like session replays and form analytics), but is also much more expensive.

Lucky Orange is priced similarly to Crazy Egg, and has many more features, but doesn't support different …
Chose Crazy Egg
We've never used ClickTale and it was obvious that they offered a lot for businesses. The reason why we chose Crazy Egg is because it fit our business needs and scale perfectly. We do not utilize the software as much as we should; however, when we do use it, we gain a lot of …
Chose Crazy Egg
My agency selected Crazy Egg because of the ease of use and the pricing plans. I would like to be able to follow conversion funnels and some of the mobile modules are not as comprehensive. The best part of Crazy Egg is how easy it is to use and train others how to use properly.
Chose Crazy Egg
Crazy Egg is more affordable, but has less features.
Chose Crazy Egg
ClickTale is the big competitor. It has more features such as mouse tracking which is super valuable. When we use Crazy Egg, it's for the following reasons: 1) a lot cheaper, 2) the quantitative Overview and List reports, 3) the fact that often what's offered by Crazy Egg is …
Chose Crazy Egg
Google Analytics offers features similar to Crazy Egg, but Crazy Egg's heatmap takes it over the edge. The heatmap goes beyond what a click-log offers by offering a big-picture view of user behavior.
Chose Crazy Egg
Crazy Egg is easier to use since you don't have to track individual clicks yourself
Chose Crazy Egg
Google Analytics has its place and is very useful but Crazy Egg provides that extra visual benefit that makes the analytics easy to understand for everyone involved.
Chose Crazy Egg
The only other tool that does something similar is Google Analytic's in-page analytics. I'm sure you *could* set up similar filters but for a marketer that doesn't write RegEx on a daily basis, it's so much easier to use the pre-existing tools built into Crazy Egg. The time …

Crazy Egg
+ I strongly believe that this tool helps when a firm has good user count (depends on business model) as most of these tools are data friends. More data - more valuable insights + Best fit if someone who is looking for deeper insights of individual page - Not suggested for very fewer visits of a website. Suggested to improve better visit count

Pros
Crazy Egg
  • Provides heatmaps that shows you the elements on your site that are and aren't performing well.
  • Provides scrollmaps so you can see how far down a page users are scrolling and which content never gets seen.
  • Screenshots show you how your website looks across a variety of different devices.
  • Provides a type of clickmap called confetti that enables you visualise clicks by segments - device, new/returning visitors, campaigns and other metrics.

Cons
Crazy Egg
  • The largest thing we've struggled with is the Optimizely integration. I've contacted customer service a few times to get it properly setup. Customer Service is always friendly and helpful; they provide clear steps to get it setup. Unfortunately despite clear instructions, they are tedious, and if not completed in the correct order, the integration with Optimizely does not work. My success rate with the integration is less than 55%.

It's a great tool considering how inexpensive it is. If used correctly and you have a plan for tracking your websites, this tool can make a world of a difference. If you are not going to sit down and take the time to make a plan for how to use this tool, I would say it is not worth your time. Yes, you can look at items on your website that need to be changed, but without a consistent plan, other important items that need changing can be lost in the mix. Make sure you have enough time and energy to invest in this and it will be well worth it

Usability
Crazy Egg
It's not clear what features there are. The navigation icon is not labeled. It's hard to know where to start when you're first logging in as a first-time user. It's hard to know how to set up anything and there aren't many helpful tutorials in-product. I don't want to be kicked out of a help center or read the documentation.

Reliability and Availability
Crazy Egg
It's slow to post data, and slow to get a snapshot to finally be active (i.e. not pending). Not intolerable, but would be nice to see data within a couple hours. Often have to wait to the next day.

Support Rating
Crazy Egg
I think support is an area where Crazy Egg is lacking. I would love to have a quarterly check-in with a Crazy Egg rep to understand what kinds of changes have been made to the platform and what is on the horizon. I also think a quick consulting sessions with a rep could be extremely beneficial, as I'm sure there are ways to use the tool that we haven't even thought about yet that would be extremely insightful for our team.

It is simple. JavaScript code needs to be added to any pages where you want to run tests. That's it.

Scalability
Crazy Egg
Its reliability (not scaleability, as the question asks for, sorry) is pretty good but through our testing we know that some clicks do not get recorded. It doesn't bother us a lot because we look at the aggregate of thousands of visits, but we do know it misses things. As for scaleability, it's about right. You really don't want zillions of clicks per snapshot - the screen just turns to 100% dots and you lose the ability to differentiate different screen areas. We find that 25,000 clicks for a page gives us a really good view.

Return on Investment
Crazy Egg
  • Very Positive impact on ROI as it pointed towards some specific flaws of the website. These flaws were removed on a regular basis.
  • It constantly helps finetune our website to the requirements of the users. This helps in boosting our business development efforts.
  • It helps us to remove or modify the least visited sections of the website. Thus removing the limitations that hamper our growth.
