Considered Both Products
Pendo.io
Chose Pendo.io
It is a new product in the market in terms of share of voice but is totally worth it
Chose Pendo.io
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 …
Chose Pendo.io
The organization of Pendo.io makes it much easier to use. We can also get more granular with our request to really dig down into what the root of the issue is and why we are being asked to improve something. We also have been able to better broadcast our wins internally and …
Chose Pendo.io
It is night and day how simple Pendo.io is to setup and configure. You don't need to be a data scientist or engineer - the UI makes it incredibly easy. The competitors have a high barrier to entry to get started with simple tracking and reporting, which has been a massive …
Chose Pendo.io
We've never evaluated any other platform besides Pendo.io b/c we heard good things about it.
Chose Pendo.io
ChurnZero is better at being more granular in terms of the specific product usage stats. Whereas in Pendo.io one can customize periods of time to make it much easier to drill into a specific month, quarter, year, or date range. This customization feature was one of the deciding …
Chose Pendo.io
Pendo seemed like the easiest to use compared to the others we looked at. We did a very in-depth analysis. They also had so many great reviews.
Chose Pendo.io
Prior to Pendo, our company didn't have any insight into analytics, so I don't have anything else to compare it to.
Chose Pendo.io
WalkMe is an industry leader, but they charge an arm and a leg. Working with them you get a lot of support and CSM time, but is it really worth that price tag? Pendo.io was an easy choice for that simple reason.
Chose Pendo.io
I prefer Pendo because it monitors explicit interactions down to the minutiae if needed. It provided data on an individual account and user basis, as well as a holistic view across the entire customer base or segments. (which you can also define).
Chose Pendo.io
WalkMe is not as user-friendly and the analytics portion at the time was limited. However, their step by step guides and walk-thrus were great. So just depends on whats most important to you.
Chose Pendo.io
In using Amplitude, we found that the data set provided was not as comprehensive as that of Pendo.io's. We also found that the initial setup of the application across our sites and how to get their dashboard up and running was not as intuitive as it was with Pendo.io.
Chose Pendo.io
I would say ChurnZero is nicer because it does get more granular in terms of the specific usage stats, but I would say that Pendo's customizable time frames make it much easier for me to drill into a specific quarter, date range, etc...
Chose Pendo.io
We had to start fast, and the capability of Pendo.io to track visitors' behavior with just a simple script is a powerful approach to accomplish that. And from there the team can start building more into Pendo.io with the reports and with sending more data for segmentation with …
Chose Pendo.io
I'm not 100% sure why we went with Pendo.io. The organization has been using Pendo.io for over 4 years and it's so ingrained in our company that it would be really hard for us to move to another product. I have loved working with Pendo.io and don't want to move anytime soon.
Chose Pendo.io
  • Heap was an excellent option. We also wanted to have the onboarding experience built-in as well, which is why we ultimately went away from them. I did speak to current users, and they loved the functionality of that platform.
  • In looking at Google Analytics, the free version …
Chose Pendo.io
Pendo.io was designed for product managers. It combines the goodness of several tools I used in the past into a one-stop shop that keeps me on top of many aspects of my job.
Chose Pendo.io
I haven't used other similar products.
Chose Pendo.io
We used a rubric to compare Pendo.io to the other tools listed. We scored/compared on the following items that were/are important to our company:

  • Ease of Use
Chose Pendo.io
Better UI, pricing model, and data available. Most tools are either data tracking or surveying tools. Pendo is something in between.
Chose Pendo.io
We used WalkMe for a couple of years, but because we are a single page application we had difficulty with the implementation crashing our site. WalkMe also uses cookies to track users, so every time one of our customers cleared his or her cache, they would receive announcements …
Chose Pendo.io
Pendo.io far and away blows Totango out of the water. While Totango offers in depth usage tracking, it is far behind the experience Pendo provides. Pendo.io is more flexible in what it can track (customizable), offers a far better end user UI/experience, and provides additional …

Pendo is very well suited for startups and mid size product companies who are looking for -
  • Help in user experience building
  • Measuring the impact of a feature on the requirement phase itself
  • Advanced analytics to get a sense of how the product is working
  • Insights about necessary changes that are required to make the product better

Pros
Pendo.io
  • Track usage across our platform (new and existing features) - where each customer clicks, how long they stay at certain areas within the software, etc.
  • To promote new features.
  • To train customers on how to use new features.
  • To survey our customers within the software.

Cons
Pendo.io
  • I find the reporting and analytics to be a little light. They could improve custom reporting capabilities.
  • Would like to see the capabilities of the Pendo tagging tool built into the platform. (don't launch a separate product). I find the tagging tool does a much better job at selecting the components to be tagged than the platform does.
  • Sometimes takes a while to refresh counts when adding a new tag.

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.

Usability
Pendo.io
Overall, Pendo provides a smooth interface, especially with the most recent update, and I couldn't imagine using or learning any other platform so product focused. From the moment I log into Pendo, I know where I'm going and what I'm looking for and I'm able to find that, through the interface, in as little time as possible. This helps keep me focused on doing other tasks at work so I'm not overburdened with hunting things down in the system

Support Rating
Pendo.io
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.

Return on Investment
Pendo.io
  • We have had an ROI in reduced support contacts.
  • We have had increased NPS scores due to our ability to target messaging for the right reasons to the right audience members rather than blanket distribution of information.
  • Delayed deployment in certain environments (being worked through) has led to a delay in one business area, but it is not public facing yet so we aren't heavily impacted by that yet.
