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 Conden…
Chose UserTesting
As we have a bigger UX team, it helps us make user research a team sport. It helps us scale and speed up learning without creating bottlenecks which might happen if we were to use smaller tools and platforms.
Chose UserTesting
In terms of overall cost and value, UserTesting stacks up well. While the platform's overall usability could be improved, and it lacks certain features that other platforms offer, we could not find a better platform for quick, reliable insights in a recent comparison.
Chose UserTesting
I've used dscout, and although I prefer UserTesting.com, I will say that dscout really excels at the diary study format. It would be great if UserTesting had a tool/tools that facilitated diary studies better.
Chose UserTesting
UserTesting's platform is the most comprehensive. While it may not have the best analytics features, survey features, recruitment features, etc, it has everything you need to run evaluative and generative research.
Chose UserTesting
User Interviews, like the name mentions, is highly focused on exactly that. The issue with this platform is that for any other type of testing you need to purchase third party integrations. This ends up costing more and gets complicated. I do enjoy the tool for what it is but …
Chose UserTesting
UserTesting allows for a quicker recruiting process for our studies. Additionally, UserTesting has more unmoderated research features and capabilities. I think that their payment model is also easier than UserInterviews. We typically user UserTesting for reaching our hard to …
Chose UserTesting
UserTesting is superior because of their vast panel, speed, and intuitiveness.
Chose UserTesting
I would say the merger of UserZoom definitely has helped Usertesting to be then number 1 tool in the market. dscout works great for diary studies but other than that has some limitations and is not as robust as usertesting.com
Chose UserTesting
User Testing is so much easier to use than other user testing tools. It's also pretty good for transcription and now they do transcription in Spanish, which is also an important part of my work and that was one of the reasons I used Dovetail. Now I still use Dovetail as it's a …
Chose UserTesting
I wasn't the person who selected Usertesting, but I did use this in previous company so I was aware of their capabilities. I really enjoy how usertesting applies their research methods and have a greater support. The UserZoom was easy to handle but I don't remember how it was …
Chose UserTesting
Only used User Testing, got lucky out of the gate and never saw a need to change to an inferior platform.
Chose UserTesting
UserTesting is much better than UserZoom because their panel of participants is much bigger, in case we needed to find a specific target audience that take a long time to find and source. Also, UserTesting has a much easier to use platform and is more intuitive and simpler to …
Chose UserTesting
UserTesting has a robust panel, and ease of setting up tasks. Lookback was particularly helpful to set up observation sessions and note taking.
Chose UserTesting
Previously used UserZoom. They did the job to a certain extent but after not being completely satisfied and shopping around we re-trialed UserTesting and [were] pleasantly surprised. Much better than when we had previously trialed UserTesting 12 months previously. Much nicer …
Chose UserTesting
User Testing provided me with several research methodologies especially when it comes to qualitative data about users.
It is easy to use and required less learning curve
User Testing offers a high quality panel, it is easy to get the required number of participants for my …

Chose UserTesting
UserTesting has a better panel that is larger, more far reaching, and faster. UserZoom's GO platform has a better UI and a far better pricing structure, but their panel is smaller and studies take longer to fill. UserZoom has a poor panel for our needs. It is ok for general …
Chose UserTesting
Platform simplicity first, good pricing packages, good testing type coverage for multi-purpose use, good audience/panel. dscout is still very specialized in diary studies and does not offer a good platform for usability testing and high-level visual concept evaluation. Usabilla
Chose UserTesting
UserTesting and Dovetail support each other well.
Chose UserTesting
For me, UserTesting is the standard to beat so if other products don't offer the same then, to my mind, they fail. What I get from UserTesting that other products can't seem to match is: 1) speed of recruitment - UserTesting can always find participants, even when my criteria …
Chose UserTesting
Survey Monkey is good for providing more quantatative results. It is quick and very easy to use with instant feedback as it is completed. There are no transcripts to deal with, checking through to make sure they have been annotated correctly.

Mainly to test products from industries that are well-established and have a huge use base of users (e.g., beauty, health, bank applications, etc). I would not recommend it for things that are too niche (e.g. French card mobile games) because the tool doesn't have enough filters or screening questions to allow researchers to recruit participants from UserTesting userbase. Probably this is on purpose right?

Pros
UserTesting

  • Platform keeps you up to date as a partner to any networking events or webinars hosted to learn from other clients and businesses

Cons
UserTesting
  • Bulk exporting multiple tests.
  • I believe some contributors are lying on their demographic info. Sometimes when I try to reach native English speakers or another language, I come across users who are not native speakers even though I set up demographics accordingly.

UserTesting
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.

Usability
UserTesting
It's quite straightforward how to use the platform. It can take a couple of times to get how to set up a test and you will need to play around to find a good audience (with that I'd say it's safer to go for a broader audience if possible). But in general, I never had a problem with the usability of the platform itself.

The technical support is great. They're really friendly and helpful. We've always been able to solve any issues presented. Whenever I have a problem while setting up my test, I can easily click on technical support and be contacted with a rep that we'll go into my account and solve whatever issue I have.

Implementation Rating
UserTesting
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.

UserTesting allows for a quicker recruiting process for our studies. Additionally, UserTesting has more unmoderated research features and capabilities. I think that their payment model is also easier than UserInterviews. We typically user UserTesting for reaching our hard to reach segments and recruiting prospective users not already within our product user population.

Scalability

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

Return on Investment
UserTesting
  • Cost savings of over $100K as we dont involve our research vendors as much as we used to do in the past
  • Better tested experience get out in the market quickly even when we don't have enough time available with our researchers; our designers who are well-trained on usertesting.com can test out quickly
