    Heyflow
    Heyflow is very well suited for creating landing pages or simple forms for recruiting employees. It's also excellent as an order form for generating leads. However, it's not suitable for surveys or appointment requests. Furthermore, it's very easy to use, even for users with no prior experience in this area.

    I think it can serve the whole spectrum of experiences from people who are just getting used to web experimentation. It's really easy to pick up and use. If you're more experienced then it works well because it just gets out of the way and lets you really focus on the experimentation side of things. So yeah, strongly recommend. I think it is well suited both to small businesses and large enterprises as well. I think it's got a really low barrier to entry. It's very easy to integrate on your website and get results quickly. Likewise, if you are a big business, it's incrementally adoptable, so you can start out with one component of optimizing and you can build there and start to build in things like data CMS to augment experimentation as well. So it's got a really strong a pathway to grow your MarTech platform if you're a small company or a big company.

    Cons
    Heyflow
    • Restricted webhook functionality, wed like to be able to map fields without having to post the full request and change the receiving webhook our end to cater to Heyflow
    • a/b testing, not being able to 'keep' older variants which we may want to retest later
    • little things like we only do uk market so all phone numbers start with 01 or 07 so we want to have a placeholder example thats familiar to the user eg 07766554433 but the system is restricted to +447766554433 which is a conversion factor for us

    • JavaScript is hard to implement sometimes especially for JQuery elements
    • ROI reporting should be part of the overall experimentation reporting
    • CMP integration: where we can easily show status of test on the HPT request
    • CMS integration
    • More widgets like social proof banners, etc.

    Heyflow hat mich von Anfang an begeistert – und das nicht nur wegen der intuitiven Benutzeroberfläche. Die Plattform schafft es, komplexe Prozesse wie Leadgenerierung, Qualifizierung oder Terminvereinbarungen in einfache, interaktive und visuelle Erlebnisse zu verwandeln.







    In wenigen Minuten lassen sich Flows erstellen, anpassen und live schalten – ohne auf Entwickler warten zu müssen.







    Mit Features wie progressiver Datenerfassung, A/B-Testing, personalisierter Ansprache und reibungsloser UX steigern wir messbar die Conversion Rates. Ich kann CI-konforme, moderne und mobiloptimierte Flows gestalten, die genau zu der Zielgruppe passen. Für mich ist Heyflow nicht nur ein Tool, sondern ein echter Gamechanger im digitalen Marketing. Es verbindet Effizienz mit Kreativität – und das mit einem Wow-Effekt für Nutzer und Kund:innen

    I rated this question because at this stage, Optimizely does most everything we need so I don't foresee a need to migrate to a new tool. We have the infrastructure already in place and it is a sizeable lift to pivot to another tool with no guarantee that it will work as good or even better than Optimizely

    Usability
    Heyflow
    Heyflow is very user-friendly and intuitive, especially for non-technical users. The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to design and launch interactive flows quickly, and the real-time preview feature is a big plus.
    I’m giving it an eight because while it’s great for most standard use cases, there are some limitations in advanced logic, dynamic behavior, and custom styling that can require workarounds.

    Optimizely Web Experimentation's visual editor is handy for non-technical or quick iterative testing. When it comes to content changes it's as easy as going into wordpress, clicking around, and then seeing your changes live--what you see is what you get. The preview and approval process for sharing built experiments is also handy for sharing experiments across teams for QA purposes or otherwise.

    Reliability and Availability
    Heyflow
    There have been no notable outages of HEyflow to date, not even in the past. If an outage is imminent, HEyflow will announce it in good time. If it occurs unexpectedly, SUpport will find a solution as quickly as possible. In some cases, a different server solution has been offered temporarily to minimize downtime. All in all, the response times of the support team are excellent.

    Heyflow's performance is truly exemplary and fast. We have never had any performance issues, regardless of how many visuals or videos we used. Unfortunately, we cannot comment on integrations, as we do not use any except for a Meta Pixel. However, even this has not affected our performance so far.

    I would rate Optimizely Web Experimentation's performance as a 9 out of 10. Pages load quickly, reports are complete in a reasonable time frame, and the software does not slow down any other software or systems that it integrates with. Additionally, the customer service and technical support teams are always available to help with any issues or questions.

    Heyflow's support is truly world-class. Whether via chat or email, you'll receive genuine help. If a problem can't be resolved immediately, they'll look into it and usually get back to you the next day. Their response time is generally very fast compared to other companies. It's also possible to book a free appointment at any time, during which a representative will contact you by phone to offer advice and assistance on how to improve your performance.

    The tool itself is not very difficult to use so training was not very useful in my opinion. It did not also account for success events more complex than a click (which my company being ecommerce is looking to examine more than a mere click).

    Heyflow
    I had already used Heyflow at my previous company because I was familiar with it from a service provider. Therefore, it was an easy decision to implement Heyflow again. The implementation was very straightforward, just as planned. There were absolutely no problems, and it worked perfectly from the start. But that's precisely what makes Heyflow so great!

    In retrospect: - I think I should have stressed more demo's / workshopping with the Optimizely team at the start. I felt too confident during demo stages, and when came time to actually start, I was a bit lost. (The answer is likely I should have had them on-hand for our first install.. they offered but I thought I was OK.) - Really getting an understanding / asking them prior to install of how to make it really work for checkout pages / one that uses dynamic content or user interaction to determine what the UI does. Could have saved some time by addressing this at the beginning, as some things we needed to create on our site for Optimizely to "use" as a trigger for the variation test. - Having a number of planned/hoped-for tests already in-hand before working with Optimizely team. Sharing those thoughts with them would likely have started conversations on additional things we needed to do to make them work (rather than figuring that out during the actual builds). Since I had development time available, I could have added more things to the baseline installation since my developers were already "looking under the hood" of the site.

    Heyflow Vs. Typeform = Heyflow wins because of design flexibility as TF is very stuck in their typical classical look. Heyflow also comes with a plethora of more options to improve lead quality and has drop-off analytics as standard. Heyflow Vs. Growform = This one is tougher as I think Growform is very competitive with what you get value-wise like no charge for phone and email network validations against Twilio and Neverbounce API's. Also Growform comes with a much more generous submission count for their smaller tiers AND I'm not capped by the amount of forms.

    The ability to do A/B testing in Optimizely along with the associated statistical modelling and audience segmentation means it is a much better solution than using something like Google Analytics were a lot more effort is required to identify and isolate the specific data you need to confidently make changes

    No, I wouldn't change any of Heyflow's terms and conditions or price. The price-performance ratio is simply impressive. I don't know of any other provider that offers a platform that allows you to start from scratch without any prior knowledge and gives you top-notch support at all times, helping you optimize your flows and get even more out of them.

    The overall scalability is excellent in Heyflow. We have the ability to work across locations as a team without any limitations; it doesn't matter how many team members we have or how many customers we cover. The scalability and flexibility also allow us to serve our customers with the same account and thus cover different business segments when it comes to online forms.
