Chose Fullstory
Smartlook seemed very early in its stage, so there seemed to be plenty of bugs with how it worked. FullStory just seemed a bit more put together and ready to service a bigger company like ours. The breadth of features also seemed to be favoring FullStory over Smartlook.
FullStory takes the best parts of session recording tools and analytics services. While it may not go as deep in the analytics area, it nonetheless provides a good suite of tools to work with. If all you need are the session recording capabilities, then there are few tools that …
Comparing to Mixpanel and Amplitude, the retro analytics option and the engineering light event implementation functions that Heap provides were crucial.
Comparing to FullStory, Heap analytics BI options and the data complexity were the reasons.
We are able to use FullStory for a more comprehensive view of user interactions and see trends in end-to-end user workflows, although we don't have an enterprise license to their software, we just enable it on a user-by-user basis. It is easier in FullStory to see where the …
Heap has an edge on Google Analytics due to auto-capture and ease of defining events. Heap has an edge on Hotjar, as it helps build funnels and has powerful filter/group by capabilities. FullStory is just session recording and focuses on one aspect of [the] engagement.
all of them may have their own strong suits but Heap is backed by best in class ML and AI algorithms. not only that all this powerful and robust backends are well handles also from the frontend. no matter how good your software is, if it is somewhat hard to navigate or to get …
One of the key features of Heap compared to other tools is auto-capture. Heap is now introducing session recordings, thereby covering features from other competitors as well.
From a startup perspective, Heap is one of the best and fastest ways to go from 0 analytics to nearly all of what one would need with the least amount of effort. It's faster and easier to implement than many above and it's better suited for quick quantifiable analytics that …
The big thing for me, that I've mentioned already, is Heap storing all event data retroactively. That's what keeps me with Heap. Google Analytics is industry standard and connected very intimately with all of the ad networks, so we have to use it, even if I think Heap is a …
Heap's implementation is by far the easiest across the different analytics products I've used. The only downside is that the analysis part is a bit more confusing to set up, and sometimes the confidence of the auto track is a bit shaky, although, these issues can usually be …
Heap is very similar to other tools out there including the ones I listed above. They all have a similar assortment of graphs, cohort analyses, and live views. Where Heap really stands apart is in its easy-to-use event visualizer, which lets you quickly create all the events …
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.
Scenarios when Heap was well suited: It is when a user claims that he encountered a bug without giving us the details of the error message. Scenarios where it is less appropriate: Its when we try to capture user interaction in our mobile app
The ramp-up time to learn the entire product can take a little while. There are just so many absolutely wonderful tools and different ways to look at the same type of information that it can take a new user a few weeks to understand and then more time to master. However, FullStory has a ton of training resources to help with that! A lot of my own teammates have taught themselves FullStory through those training resources.
The UX of the product is totally wonderful, but there are tiny things that make getting to certain parts of the product slightly more challenging (like clicking into a modal in a modal). Sometimes buttons or links are placed out of my field of view, but those are minor things I notice because I work in UX.
It's been a phenomenal tool for us; every department that uses it has found something new and unexpected that it can do that they're really excited about. Even if we *only* used it for bug triage, it would be worth our time and money. The fact that we can use it for so many other things as well--gauging how customers interact and use our site, identifying UI problems, etc.--is above and beyond
It's a great platform. I'm glad that one of our product managers introduced it because it has allowed us to create all kinds of new functionality. We're not only able to create a better product experience from our communications because of Heap, but we're also able to generate all kinds of helpful analysis.
On a scale from 1-10, I find Heap to be incredibly user-friendly and easy to use. I enjoyed the training videos available and was quickly able to pick up how to create events and reports to track user interactions on our product. I would recommend Heap for its usability first and foremost.
I've never run into any issues with Heap's availability, Heap is always there when I need it. I haven't run into any issues like application errors or unplanned outages during my 2+ years of using Heap. Each and every time I log in to Heap I have a completely functional experience
Heap doesn't affect page load times considerably nor has a large impact [on] our overall score, as far as page loading times inside of the tool its pretty reliable to retrieve data as much as "instant" that it can be the delay seems to be on data getting tracked into the servers to be read but it's not significant.
They have been overall pretty responsive and proactive. The tool is pretty straightforward to use. Most of the questions we have had to work with them on our how to use new features or adjust our integration to ensure we are gathering all the data from all of our tools.
Heap support has allowed us to troubleshoot and test a lot of different items. Their support team is always helpful and friendly, even when we come to them with the most complicated questions. I think this greatly improves the value proposition of the product because their support team is knowledgable and friendly.
To successfully implement FullStory, it is important to plan your implementation carefully by defining your goals and user segments. You should also use tags and filters to analyze your user data, train your team to use FullStory effectively, and use FullStory in conjunction with other analytics tools to get a more complete picture of your user's behavior. By following these tips, you can gain valuable insights into your users' behavior and experiences, and use this information to improve your website or application.
The implementation was smooth and easy. The Heap team helped us with implementation and it went great! Within a few weeks, we were fully up and running and utilizing the platform to its full capability. This is an additional thing that has made this platform so great and we couldn't recommend it enough.
Smartlook is software that records users on a website and mobile app. Finding useful information within thousands of recordings is made quick and easy with features that help you accomplish this. I have chosen FullStory because it is easier to use and has more advanced features compared to Smartlook.
Heap offers a ton of functionality on a single platform.It also has an smart data science layer to offers suggestions for next steps in the analysis, allowing us to explore alternative paths we may not think to take. The low-code option for updating data is appealing, and there is a lot of automation with minimal engineering effort.
The most challenging part of using Heap in a growing organization is the naming and structure in which reports and dashboards are organized. I work within the marketing department and our Heap leader internally works within the IT/Product department, which makes it challenging because we often don't speak the same language, so the learning curve has been steep without any specific use-case examples to leverage online.
