UserTesting vs. Vmaker

UserTesting is at its best when conducting a range of unmoderated user research tasks with UT's own user panel. UserTesting is less useful when conducting research with our own users, as the UT interface isn't readily understood by them for unmoderated tests, and the types of tests available in moderated research are rather limited.

It's perfect for Vloggers, website reviews, short videos and screen captures of other recording platforms.

• Product Manager who follows up on your UserTesting usage and gives advice/support when you need it.
• UserTesting University is a great platform to learn how to use UT and general information about research.
• UserTesting can find participants quickly, so you won't need to wait long before you can start the analysis.

• Easy to highlight and annotate parts of my screen while recording
• Records meetings including computer audio and mic simultaneously
• easy to use video editor that allows you to edit videos to just include the necessary information

• Quality of participants- its clear some fake their IP addresses and are not in the country you have screened for
• The AI analytics are not the most functional from what I have seen, stick to what you're good at?
• I find the scheduling for live sessions clunky to use, the calendar interface is very glitchy

• Wish they allowed virtual webcam backgrounds or blurred background on the Free plan.
• Some of the messaging on the site is a bit inconsistent re pricing of the plans (some refer to annual pricing paid monthly vs monthly pricing)

I'm very happy with my experience of the product and the level of service and learning resources they provide. If the service becomes more expensive than it currently is then we might not be able to justify additional cost - but this is theoretical. I would recommend UserTesting and would ideally renew our contract.

It can be difficult to organize our tests and go back and find information. I think the AI tools are helping and will help with this, but for now it is time consuming to sort through all of the tests and information and then synthesize it and share it with others. It just takes a lot of time.

Perfectly fine. Never had any problems.

I have contacted UserTesting's customer service online, by email, or by phone a few times, and each time, I have encountered the same professionalism and expertise. Even in person during a work event, they were there, and it was the same experience.

From a technical perspective, the implementation was extremely smooth. Most of the change management / implementation hurdles were clearing use of the tool through our various security, legal, and information privacy teams. Once these concerns were addressed (UserTesting.com was very helpful in providing all the needed documentation), the implementation process was very simple and we were able to get going right away.

The quality of the participants: they usually have good feedback and act like "professional" users. Which is good when we want a few insights in a short amount of time. Also, the interface is good. I miss having more features, like a good transcription tool like we have in Condens

More features, better ui/ux

The package we have limits the number of people who can set up tests. This prevents us from scaling the use of the platform.

• Content is key to the sign up journey and UserTesting helps me improve that.
• UserTesting has helped me improve the Cashier on our site, making it easier for users to deposit money.
• UserTesting is helping me iterate all our content decisions, helping us improve the UX across all platforms.

• Makes recording video intros for my Podcast super easy
• I can record from anywhere (eg my AirBnB while traveling and still look professional
• Totally affordable for my relatively small business
