Inspectlet
Small organization with limited resource can really make use of [Inspectlet]. Its really user friendly and don't need much expertise or training to use and you can have the entire department using it the very next day its implemented. But if its a large company, you might be better off with other session replay tools.

Pendo.io
I don't think Pendo.io will be able to 100% replace our onboarding workflow, but for our new users from existing customers, we are launching onboarding guides to help that segment of new users receive more on-demand, self-service training. It is a little tricky to still figure out segments based on our app's ability to have custom user roles, and it would be great to be able to create segments based on whether a user's page has a specific button appear rather than tracking their clicks, since that will inevitably leave some users out of the segment.

Pros
Inspectlet
  • Inspectlet does analysis of sessions really well. We were able to view our funnel and view sessions that completed and dropped-off at various points. Setting up the funnel and doing the analysis was very easy.
  • I thought Inspectlet was very easy to integrate. During the integration, I was able to send metadata that allowed for increased flexibility during analysis. I loved that Inspectlet integrated with Segment.io.
  • I thought the tool's pricing was positioned well for the features it offered.

Pendo.io
  • Creating solutions that you actually need and want to use - no fluff.
  • Enabling you to adopt those solutions by providing resources and a community for continual learning and improvement.
  • Everyone at Pendo.io is a rockstar - A-List employees throughout the ranks who are all determined to help you succeed. I'm amazed at all the awesome people I've worked with at Pendo. In 5 years I've never had a less-than-stellar interaction with a Pendozer.

Cons
Inspectlet
  • Be more consistent on recording the sessions
  • Create an approved chrome extension that can be used to link session replay ids we gather in our Analytics tool like Adobe to the actual Inspectlet tool
  • Lots of times main dashboard doesn't load. Make the tool more bug free.

Pendo.io
  • Pendo.io's Customer Support is sometimes lacking both in terms of response time and clarity/usefulness of the responses
  • Pendo.io's Customer API could use quite a bit of improvement, both in terms of what kind of functionality it allows but also in terms of the documentation available for it
  • Pendo.io's built in reporting and analysis building capabilities could be improved to allow more customization and options.
  • Pendo.io in-product communications (Pendo Guides) could be improved, particularly its out-of-the-box capabilities regarding customization of the interactions that they can "trigger" within the platform it is being used for and the types of "flow"/transitions it can support for walkthroughs. We use custom code (which Pendo Guides do support and that's nice) to make certain things work but it would be better to be able to do these things without it.

We have had an excellent experience with Pendo. When we've had questions or concerns, Pendo is very quick to respond and communicate with us. We have experienced top-notch customer support and customer engagement. We have actually modeled some of our implementation and product processes after Pendo's examples.

The design of their product is visually appealing, but I find their dashboard capabilities a tad too rudimentary. I also think their guide designs could benefit from ability to customize it a bit more and align to the look and feel of our brand.

They've been great anytime that we have needed help with something. They also have some really great help articles. We're able to figure most things out through their articles, but when we've had to call in they've been very helpful and we haven't had any problems. I'd highly recommend working with them.

The training schedule was well thought out and tailored to meet our needs. Chantelle stayed with us through the whole implementation and made sure that we were good to go.

Inspectlet
I tried out several session recording tools. The things that really stood out to me about Inspectlet were the interface and integration. Inspectlet was easiest for me to integrate and start sending custom metadata. I also liked that you could set up Inspectlet to capture every session automatically. Finally, I really enjoyed Inspectlet's funnel reporting feature. It sped up useful analysis tremendously because most of the sessions we were interested in corresponded to funnel interaction.

Pendo.io doesn't try to fit every possible product management feature inside the application, rather it focuses on the user experience and analytics part. And they do that beautifully. Because they are focused on their strength so they are best in that, also their pricing is better than all the other competitors.

Return on Investment
Inspectlet
  • There is no dollar figure to put as an ROI but the value this tool provides is much much more than the investment.
  • To be able to know the site from users perspective is the best ROI anyone can expect

Pendo.io
  • It has saved us tons of money on marketing. Instead of having our team spend tons of money on advertising for new products and services, we are able to connect with our customers directly in the product, which essentially is free (aside from paying for Pendo).
  • It has saved us tons of time by not having to do big reach outs to current customers.
  • It has helped a ton with churn and onboarding. We can quickly figure out which of our customers are and aren't utilizing certain key components within our software.
