Likelihood to Recommend 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 Read full review UserVoice can be an affordable and powerful tool to start engaging customers and employees. It can help manage the entire feedback loop process. But your product management and development teams still need to do their jobs. Remember to have a response SLA in place and ownership for prioritizing and responding to the feedback.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review User interface is very simple. Learning the product and teaching the team how to use the product took hardly any time at all. Gives visibility into what others are logging. We are able to append 'votes' to certain ideas, rather than having to create an existing idea from scratch. Reporting. Tags allow to easily filter through ideas for roadmap planning. Read full review Cons 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.

You have to call if you have an issue. Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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.
Read full review I just really liked UserVoice.
Read full review Usability 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
Read full review The day-to-day usability is good. More technical settings require a bit more effort.
Read full review Support Rating 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.

Read full review Have clear goals and owners established before you start using any tool like this. Very important to get accounts and rights setup so that there's no lag time in customer response once things go live. Make sure IT is involved if you plan to use the Single-Sign On (SSO) or any of the access control tools.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review I like the ease of integration into web and mobile apps for UserVoice. It's also a comprehensive bug reporting, user feedback, and knowledge base tool.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Transparency: Now we can handle better communication of requests with customers and internal stakeholders. We can track better how many ideas are accepted and released vs rejected ones. Read full review ScreenShots
