Droplr is very useful in any kind of visual work, particularly if there are more people involved and they need to follow the creation process. It allows the team to be on the same page. It is also very useful when dealing with clients without design training since we can show visually what we intend to do. Teachers, instructors, and even technical support people can make good use of Droplr since it makes easier to share screencasts, to capture screens for tutorials and to solve clients' doubts.
UserTesting is ideal for big companies that work in an agile setting. If you are working in a fast paces environment and need to get some insights fast, UserTesting helps a lot. If you are creative, and know how to ask questions, you would be surprised how fast UserTesting starts to show its value. We are a small team and we try to minimize our work load as much as we can by optimizing our research operations, so making unmoderated tests are very important to us. If you are a small company with limited resources though, it might be expensive. Then, buying multiple tools that cover different areas might actually become more affordable
Creating clips and highlight reels of recorded interviews--these really help you "land" the research findings with stakeholders.
Capturing a blend of qual and quant in unmoderated interviews. They've been continuously improving the quality of visuals, so it can sometimes be a simple drag and drop into a report!
The technical and account support teams are second to none. Response times and even resolution of issues is usually same day.
They've come in to do product onboarding and trainings for our teams which allows our research team to keep driving research while expanding what our "people who sometimes do research" are able to take on.
Startup bug (Mac) - Even though I select Droplr not to start up with the computer, it still does. It's been months and they still haven't fixed this. It's very frustrating.
The Windows version doesn't allow me to select an area of my screen to record - one has to record the entire screen.
Though it may look like it in their settings, setting up SSL isn't as easy as clicking the button. I still don't quite understand how to do it.
Comparative tests on mobile devices is a major issue. Users find it very difficult to user test a comparative test where they are asked to compare two experiences.
Users sometimes hurry on to complete the tests.
Reusing a saved templated is sometimes tricky and qualifying questions are not saved properly.
I'm very happy with my experience of the product and the level of service and learning resources they provide. If the service becomes more expensive than it currently is then we might not be able to justify additional cost - but this is theoretical. I would recommend UserTesting and would ideally renew our contract.
Pretty hard because the videos needs to be diligently reviewed to make sure the screener worked (the 15% that just test for money and lie about their info get into the test). Then, I have to use excel sheets and pivot tables to bring the data together. It takes a very detailed and tenacious person to get correct insights
The chat feature is great and I usually use it to reach out to replace at least one respondent every other study. I wish I didn't have to reach out and I could self-serve (e.g., replace bad participants who don't try or don't follow instructions) on my own, but because I do not have that option, at least they're responsive and generally helpful when I reach out
From a technical perspective, the implementation was extremely smooth. Most of the change management / implementation hurdles were clearing use of the tool through our various security, legal, and information privacy teams. Once these concerns were addressed (UserTesting.com was very helpful in providing all the needed documentation), the implementation process was very simple and we were able to get going right away.
Lightshot Screenshot provides the same screenshot functionality as Droplr, but with no cost. Lightshot Screenshot also allows you to edit a photo and can upload your photo either to the cloud or just paste it in an email/Slack/anything else to your client. There are very little go-betweens and a lot more flexibility.
Droplr was chosen by my company, not me. If I had chosen a screenshot software, in retrospect, I would have chosen Lightshot Screenshot. Droplr was fine. Lightshot Screenshot is killer, though.
UserTesting was clearly better based on the cohort of established users (1.6 Million, I believe), which is the largest in the industry. Their platform is mature and has all the features we need, including highlight reels, real-time transcription, and clips. They also have built-in analysis tools that make reporting on the findings virtually automatic, saving us a ton of time.
I use Droplr every day and it's been a huge boost for productivity since I never need to think about how a screenshot will be shared. It's just built in and so easy.
