ClickTale is a versatile tool that allows users to analyze their website's performance and identify areas for improvement. Detailed heat maps provide visual insights into the sections of the website that attract the most interest. With conversion funnels, users can segment and analyze visitor behavior, helping them define essential business metrics and KPIs. Valuable insights into visitor interactions and behavior are gained through features like visitor recordings and form completions. ClickTale is widely used by various teams, including sales, customer service, and analytics, on a daily basis. It seamlessly integrates with other analytical tools such as Google Analytics to track website flow and layout effectiveness. By searching and analyzing customer behavior using heat maps and session recordings, users gain actionable insights and can set specific alerts for changes in KPIs. ClickTale is a preferred choice for web analytics teams, digital marketers, and UX designers to understand user behavior and identify pain points on websites. It also helps in evaluating features, layout, and design for eCommerce platforms, aiding informed decisions regarding product updates and changes. Additionally, ClickTale is invaluable for identifying user issues, validating UX through testing hypotheses, and generating new ideas for content and functionality. Some users even recommend ClickTale as a valuable tool for monitoring and improving PPC campaigns while managing their accounts.

Valuable Video Recordings: Users find the video recordings of user sessions to be invaluable as they allow them to see the cursor movement, scrolling behavior, and how users find what they are looking for on a webpage. This feature is highly appreciated by many reviewers.

Insights from Heatmaps: The mouse hover heat map provides users with insights into where users are looking on the webpage, helping them identify areas where users may mistakenly think non-clickable items are clickable. Many users appreciate this feature and find it helpful in improving their website's usability.

Comprehensive Data Analysis: Users find ClickTale's data analysis capabilities extensive, allowing them to connect the dots and understand how sales have improved or dipped. The clear and logical presentation of data in ClickTale is highly appreciated by users as it helps them easily understand the information provided. Several reviewers have praised ClickTale for its comprehensive data analysis features.

Limited Access Rights: Some users have expressed frustration with the inability to grant others in their company restricted access rights, which has resulted in them being the sole point of contact for anything related to Clicktale.

Lack of Reporting Capabilities: Several reviewers have found Clicktale to be labor-intensive for gathering and analyzing data as it lacks the ability to build reports using quantitative data. This limitation has made it challenging for users to extract meaningful insights from the platform.

Restrictions on Gold Subscription Features: Many users have mentioned their disappointment with the lack of functionality available in Clicktale's gold subscription. They have stated that several desired features require an enterprise-level subscription, limiting their ability to fully leverage the tool's capabilities.

  • Video recordings of users during their entire session to a website. To actually see the cursor, where it goes, does it scroll to the bottom of the page and then back up and then back down where a user finds what they were looking for that they missed the first time. This is invaluable.
  • Vertical page scroll let's me know how far down a page content is being seen. This coupled with the page recordings gives me the ability to know if the scroll was at a pace that could support comprehension or if they were just flying to the bottom of the page.
  • Mouse hover heat map gives me an indication of where users are looking. I've caught users thinking non-clickable items were clickable.
  • Being able to select a page and watch as many users as I want interact with it. I can get a sense of common user patterns in depth for a single page or a flow of several pages.
  • Page duration versus cursor engagement duration. This was a huge surprise in user behavior for me to learn about that is never duplicated in moderated user testing. If a user opens a link in a new window or tab there is no guarantee that the amount of time the window or tab was open that the user was actively engaged with it's content.
  • I always felt not providing me with the ability to grant others in my company with rights restricted access was a huge downside. This forced me into being the sole point of contact for anything that had to do with Clicktale.
  • Hugely lacking in the ability for me to build reports using the quantitative data. It was very labor intensive for me to gather and analyze data from Clicktale.
  • I missed out in a lot of functionality not having an enterprise level subscription. I had the gold subscription. Many of the things I wanted to capture were not possible without involving their developers - and that was only possible at the enterprise subscription level.
Clicktale requires a commitment, there is a learning curve. If you don't have analytical-curiosity it can be overwhelming - you have to work it. However, you shouldn't be in user-research if you aren't curious and willing to work for it. You have to take the time to understand the tools and get familiar with what it can and cannot do. Clicktale isn't a magic bullet straight out of the can, and I observed inexperienced researchers making erroneous assumptions with it. Just like any research tool it takes time to learn how and where to apply it or where not to use it as an ideal methodology.
  • I learned how effective some of our image carousels were. How only 10% of a page visitors were being exposed to only the first slide. People were scrolling down or leaving the page without ever being exposed to 90% of the content. Once I provided this input to stakeholders it was an easy sell to redesign this aspect of the page.
  • I used the mouse-move heat map to analyze user interaction with the footer. Showing stakeholders the before and after redesign heat maps did wonders for improving my credibility as an usability analyst.
  • We used Clicktale to help analyze our 404 error page effectiveness. Our redesign gave us a 14% lower bounce rate on our redesigned 404 error page. Stakeholders appreciated a quantitative measure to gauge the success of that project.
At my former company I was able to upgrade our initial subscription level from bronze to gold without any problems after the first year. Unfortunately, the company I am presently with doesn't have a Clicktale subscription. I would have absolutely no hesitation in strongly recommending Clicktale to my current company if I ever get even a remote chance to do so. Clicktale is used in some of the statistics I use on my resume in an effort to quantify my results as a certified usability analyst. Clicktale has made a significant difference in my value to any team I work with.
I had some issues interacting with viewing recordings of a specific page by many users but my impression was that this was going to be fixed.
  • Good filter functionality when building queries to view page results
  • Good filter control for working with heat map reports
  • Honestly, I didn't find any UI features that were unusually difficult or cumbersome given the expectation that there is always a learning curve.
