Storylane vs. Walnut

Basically if you want to provide a walk-through of a website, then Storylane is well suited. I can't think of a scenario where it is less appropriate unless you are trying to use it for something it isn't intended for. I'm not sure if it will work with a WASM page, so if you are working with WASM, you should at least test that out.

Great for SaaS companies looking to demo their products. We use it on sales calls and send it afterward. It can also be used before booking demos to show to potential customers, or by customer success to create a self-guided tour of a product. The customization options are great, as is the ease of creating demos.

• Allows you to easily grab the visual assets to create a walk through.
• The analytics that are integrated give you a very specific view of engagement.
• Even the most complex web pages can be saved in Storylane, definitely a robust engine.

Incentivized

• Relatively easy to create demos
• Analytics
• Sharing

• The relationship between "pages" and "steps" can get very confusing if you are having to do a mass revamp of a saved story.
• Some of the interface is less than intuitive than it could be.
• I'm not a fan of mouse over features, I realize it is a modern metaphor, but it's a bad one.

Incentivized

• Some of the UX around the demo creation is still a bit janky. For example, your work does not save automatically - you need to be constantly saving it or all your work will be lost.
• The organization of all of the demos is improving, but things still get lost.
• Ideally it would be easier to replace certain attributes in bulk.

They are both good products and pretty similar. Navattic definitely had some strong features, but with Storylane, they were incredibly responsive to requests for help and feature requests and it just "looked" better. Storylane also "felt" better in terms of working with it. There were some design flow decisions made with Navattic that I found to be a bit counterintuitive.

Previously we created clickable demos in InDesign and XD. While clickable, they were nowhere near as realistic as Walnut, they lacked analytics, couldn't be customized, and they needed a designer to keep them updated. With Walnut, we can also add or remove features in a demo depending on what the customers' needs are.

Incentivized

• We were getting thousands of engagements on our Story's.
• We are able to use them as an educational resource when potential clients asked a question.
• The SDR's were able to use them as assets to create interest.

Incentivized

• Previously, our demos were often out of date. This led to less satisfied customers buying things that weren't quite what we had. Customers now have a better idea of what to expect.
