Considered Both Products
Fullstory
Chose Fullstory
Microsoft Clarity - good product, free.
Chose Fullstory
I think other tools are either too heavy or complicated to implement and / or understand. Full story has a super light weight feel to the system and works magically. I implemented Mixpanel once and the entire team struggled with it before replacing it with Full Story after …
Chose Fullstory
Fullstory is really the best at session recording. They are adding new and more features to become more competitive with other web analytics tools (like Pendo, Heap, and GA). But we ultimately keep them because they make it so easy to actually see how people interact with your …
Chose Fullstory
FullStory is a unique blend of product analytics + playback sessions.
Chose Fullstory
Hotjar is better for marketing websites. Doesn't have a native mobile component. Cheaper per session but doesn't have journey mapping.
Chose Fullstory
I have not selected or evaluated other products.
Chose Fullstory
Microsoft Clarity is not on the list. This one is not even close though. 4 years ago there was not much competition unless you paid a fortune for the big survey companies. I see there are many more out there now, and may start looking now that the prices are not as affordable …
Chose Fullstory
It's a good value for money as well and it works well on websites
Chose Fullstory
Most of the tools we evaluated just didn't have the depth of analysis that we needed. Content Square looked GREAT but it was a much higher price point.
Chose Fullstory
HotJar is built for marketers, whereas FullStory is for product teams, but the tool still stacks up well against HotJar. It has feature parity and is a little more intuitive to use.
Chose Fullstory
We don't use anything else that is close to what Fullstory does. If anything Intercom would be the closest however we use them together to offer the best support possible.
Chose Fullstory
FullSory is more advanced and the implementation with other tools makes it very convenient for us.
Chose Fullstory
FullStory is very easy to use and very comprehensive compared to it's competitors
Chose Fullstory
Based on the functionality & support we've scoped for FullStory, we have much more in terms of capability and expertise than we've had in the past.
Chose Fullstory
Heap, Pendo.io and Amplitude Analytics
Glassbox
Chose Glassbox
LogRocket is more suited for entry-level application and lacks the more advanced, in-depth analysis capabilities that we need, and that Glassbox offers.
Chose Glassbox
A key factor in our decision was Glassbox's real-time data export capabilities, which aligned perfectly with our needs, as does the ability to integrate Glassbox insights with our existing data systems.
Chose Glassbox
There is less data about the session in contentsquare so even when we saw users were leaving we could not tell why
Chose Glassbox
We chose Glassbox over ContentSquare because it offers an integrated VoC solution that is directly linked to session data. This gives us a much deeper understanding of the context behind the customer feedback.
Chose Glassbox
We required a solution that meets our rigid security standards, in other words, one that offers an isolated environment for data storage. As the only platform to offer Single Tenant storage, Glassbox definitely rises above the competition in this regard.
Chose Glassbox
We chose Glassbox instead of Contentsquare primarily because of Glassbox's built-in VoC solution, which is linked directly to session data. This feature really helps contextualize customer sentiment data and makes the feedback even more insightful.
Chose Glassbox
When we were looking into DEM solutions, we considered going with Datadog, but it focuses primarily on technical issues as opposed to capturing and analyzing user experience struggles (for example, why our customers are abandoning our site). This is really what we were looking …
Chose Glassbox
After considering both Contentsquare and Glassbox, we chose to go with Glassbox because it provided an environment that was more suited to our security constraints. (We require a Single Tenant solution, which only Glassbox was able to provide).
Chose Glassbox
  1. Improved understanding of customer behavior: Glassbox provides a detailed view of how customers interact with a website, mobile app, and other digital channels. This information is essential for understanding customer behavior and identifying areas where the business can …
Chose Glassbox
Glassbox is a customer experience management platform that provides various tools to help organizations understand and improve the customer journey. There may be other products that offer similar capabilities, such as FullStory, UserTesting, and Clicktale. These products may …
Chose Glassbox
Glassbox offered the server side capabilities we needed over anyone. Glassbox does not rely on massive custom event packages. Glassbox user interface is very simple and user friendly. The adhoc reports and fairly easy to use. It is an enteprise wide application and is not …
Chose Glassbox
Google Analytics is great in managing our campaigns and in telling us the levels of conversion. The same for our a/B testing tools which tell us which test is converting higher than the other. The problem with these tools is that they do not tell you the why behind the what - …
Chose Glassbox
Glassbox was able to provide a solution to both a technical and experience use cases. Glassbox put same emphasis on the technical and experience struggles which provide us with more data than any other tools we've seen. Glassbox also ties all events to revenue which helps us …
Chose Glassbox
The ability to integrate our current tools with Glassbox has been one of our major priorities. We have quite a lot of tools we use and we needed an analytics tool that could integrate with all of them: VoC, A/B testing, Google analytics, Adobe, Jira, and more. I love that all …
Chose Glassbox
The automatic tagging abilities were very important for us as we do not have the resources to tag all the website events. The 100% data is crucial to make more informed decisions. The Glassbox service team is also great and very helpful.
Chose Glassbox
Glassbox is an all in one tool which is excellent for multiple teams with multiple goals - customer service, UX/UI, product teams, and more. We were also really impressed with the Glassbox teams before signing - very professional and knowledgeable
Chose Glassbox
Glassbox has a very good integration with multiple product and customer feedabck tools such as A/B testing and VoC
Chose Glassbox
We needed advanced customization abilities and to relate campaigns to revenue both of which Glassbox does extremaly well
Chose Glassbox
More customization options, product road map is aligned with the market needs and great customer success team. The system is clean and very easy to use which made the learning of the different abilities a lot easier and much more smooth
Chose Glassbox
More intuitive, and the amount of data is really great. I loved the clean UI of the session replay.
Chose Glassbox
Adobe Analytics is more accurate with data but doesn't have the capabilities like Glassbox (interaction map, session replays, etc.) so we have to cross check data to ensure the information is accurate.
Chose Glassbox
Glassbox capabilities match our main use cases and can generate huge amount of business data in real time.
Chose Glassbox
The integrations abilities as well as the quick and easy implantation of the tool.
Chose Glassbox
Glassbox covers everything - from technical to experience related events and the integration with our existing tools is super important for us as we stream data from our VoC and analytics tools to Glassbox and can use one centralized system for all our use cases. The support is …
Chose Glassbox

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
It was extremely useful in identifying places in our product where things weren't functioning, or where it looked like action was available to the end user but in reality, it was not and therefore caused lots of confusion. It doesn't help as much in other scenarios to see what catches a user's Eye or where they go if they leave our application as well as an actual in-person interview would help with eye-tracking software.

I’ve found that Glassbox is particularly well-suited during marketing campaigns, because you can export and analyze data in real-time, track the campaign’s effectiveness, and gain immediate insight into how customers are interacting with your website. With these insights, we’re able to tweak campaigns on the fly to increase engagement and conversion rates. Similarly, since Glassbox allows us to monitor customer interactions in real-time, we gain immediate feedback on how our users are engaging with a new digital feature on our platform, for example. We can then quickly identify any usability issues or friction points, make adjustments in real-time to improve the user experience, and maximize the success of the new feature.

Pros
  • Tracks users' online experiences from start to finish.
  • Makes it easy to share a customer's experiences with the rest of my team.
  • Allows me to use different methods to find evidence of a customer's experience.
  • Shows page insights via segmentation that help me know where to improve my site.

  • I like the ease of access that is provided to our internal users
  • Super easy integration with our site and other tools
  • The ability to navigate to any session, review the details and make actionable notes for resolution
  • The ability to exclude sensitive information from being recorded.
Read full review
Cons
  • Can be a little confusing to know the exact time something happened, in local time or customer time? That's helpful for engineering to look into log files.
  • When looking for a specific session, it would be nice if you have a easier list of sessions with a little more info to choose from
  • It would be nice to be able to save flagged sessions and annotations under my profile to reference later

  • It's a pretty powerful platform, and my sense is that most users don't utilize it to its fullest potential. Glassbox could help by offering a more comprehensive onboarding program (maybe even customized training sessions or live workshops tailored to the needs and use cases of FSIs)

The metrics are hard to understand at times and inaccurate to the point of being unusable. I stopped pulling them and solely rely on Adobe Analytics for them. So far, I've only used FS to watch sessions and determine behaviors

Usability
Because everything seems to be easy to find and it doesn't take long at all to learn how to use the product
Read full review
Glassbox is very easy to use, and with the AI features which it has inside, it has been very easy for us to not only find the relevant sessions but also summarize them and interact with the summary - so we now have all types of people in our org who use Glassbox - including those who are purely non-tech. Also, I must give a huge shoutout to our customer support team who have been instrumental in helping us get value from Glassbox

Support Rating
Yes, that is correct. FullStory has a dedicated support team that is available to assist with any issues or questions. The team is known for being responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful, and they are committed to ensuring that users get the most out of the FullStory platform. They helped us a lot to implement it with our web app

Implementation Rating
I was not involved in the initial implementation, but I have found it easy to pick up and use without any guidance, so it's very user-friendly, intuitive, and not difficult to get a sense of use, though it may be more difficult to master (I am not a Fullstory master... yet!).

Fullstory is really the best at session recording. They are adding new and more features to become more competitive with other web analytics tools (like Pendo, Heap, and GA). But we ultimately keep them because they make it so easy to actually see how people interact with your site. It is one thing to see a report that says customers fall off a page, it is another thing to actually be able to watch what they do as they fall off.

This is really what we were looking for, which made Glassbox a perfect fit.

Return on Investment
  • We reduced our payment error rate by 20% using FullStory.
  • Our product design team is able to get initial designs approved 95% of the time using FullStory data in order to explain to our stakeholders the reasoning behind decisions. We also do a before-and-after analysis, and we either net out the same with the new designs (just improved visuals) or improve the metric of whatever was designed. More often than not, we improve the metric.
  • We decreased the time to A/B testing insights by 50%.
  • We can usually visualize a production issue via FullStory within 10 minutes.

  • Glassbox has really taken us to the next level in terms of customer sentiment analysis and informed decision-making. We're capturing 100% of customer sessions, and with Glassbox we're able to address hidden issues and make decisions that enhance the experience of our entire customer base, as opposed to just a select few. Our strategic decisions are now based on accurate, comprehensive data, and we're seeing the fruits of this. Our customers are more engaged (and more loyal), our conversion rates are climbing, and our business is growing.
