    Userlane is a software adoption platform for organizations in healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and pharma. Most organizations can see that people struggle with their software, but not where, or what it costs. Userlane closes that gap with a loop. It measures where people get stuck, acts inside the application at the moment it happens, and measures again to show what changed. Analytics tools find the problem but leave the fixing to…N/A

    Smartlook is best for screen recordings. Especially when you are running MVPs. However, its pricing is very high. If your daily visitors are too much then either you will have to lose many of your recordings or you will have to pay too much money.

    Well suited:
    • Web-based software with many users, complex processes (or both) --> Easy to fix a lot of common support / training issues very fast
    • Software rollouts with high costs associated to ensure user acceptance is great --> Great feedback from users
    • Multiple applications where processes are adjusted regularly --> Fast to roll out across many apps and easy to maintain
    Not so well suited:
    • Desktop apps -- > Doesn't really work for desktop
    • Mobile apps --> Limited support, only works for web-based mobile apps
    • Small user base (less than 50 users) --> Not required when there are only a few users

    Cons
    Smartlook
    • I feel nickel and dimed with the events and funnels.
    • We came from sessions being 30 mins of inactivity and now it's 5-10 mins. Session count has gone up significantly which we weren't prepared for.
    • Recording playback isn't as clean and maneuverable like FullStory.

    As my ratings show, I have been absolutely delighted with Smartlook in terms of usability, cost, support, and its benefit to our organization. I have given it such high ratings because I think it has really benefitted our organization and I think it could do the same for other companies too.

    Usability
    Smartlook
    Every page, the tool setup pages and dashboards are built very well, the site structure is perfectly designed and intuitive to use. All functions are well documented and the help sections are really everywhere, you don't have to search for answers, as they are just popped up or max. a click away for your service.

    Sofia P. is being our point of contact with the issues we faced. I was unsure about how to explain to her what was going on with the recording numbers (the recording has stopped before we were expecting to), but she readily understood and came with a solution for us in the same day. The problem was blocking our developer to test the integration, so it was great to have support so fast that he could continue his work.

    It has been a year between the time when I last used Hotjar and first started using Smartlook. I would say both tools are more or less equal when it comes to features, the only 2 differences I can think of are - price and customer support. Smartlook is cheaper and has superior customer services. You have the feeling when interacting with them that they genuinely care.
