Crazy Egg has become an invaluable tool for analyzing user behavior and making informed design decisions. Users across various departments, including marketing, design, and front-end development, have relied on Crazy Egg to gather insights for high-level decisions on websites and landing pages. The platform's heatmapping capabilities provide quantitative data on user engagement, allowing teams to optimize pages and improve the overall user experience. Crazy Egg's unique confetti tool has been particularly praised for its ability to identify popular and unpopular items on websites, highlighting areas where users expect clickable elements. Additionally, Crazy Egg's integration with Google Analytics enables users to gain a more complete picture of user behavior, further enhancing their understanding of website performance. With its comprehensive insights into user interactions and intuitive visualizations, Crazy Egg has proven to be an indispensable resource for businesses seeking to enhance conversions and improve overall website effectiveness.
Valuable Click Mapping Feature: Many users have found Crazy Egg's click mapping feature to be highly valuable, allowing them to see exactly where visitors are clicking on their website. This information has helped them identify popular links and buttons, as well as areas of the page that were mistakenly believed to be clickable. The insights gained from this feature have enabled users to make informed decisions about their website's layout and design.
Helpful Scroll Mapping Feature: Users have praised Crazy Egg's scroll mapping feature for providing insights into how far users are scrolling down the page. This information has been helpful in understanding user behavior and making informed decisions about page layout and content placement. By using this feature, users have been able to optimize their websites and improve user engagement.
Powerful Segmentation Capabilities: Crazy Egg's segmentation capabilities have received high praise from many users. Being able to differentiate click patterns based on visitor properties such as technology, new or returning visitors, and other factors has allowed users to gain deeper insights into user behavior and tailor their websites accordingly. These powerful segmentation capabilities have helped optimize websites for different segments of the audience.
Confusing Interface: Some users have found the interface of Crazy Egg to be confusing, particularly when dealing with a large number of snapshots. They have expressed that it takes time to locate specific snapshots among those that are running or stopped.
Limited Heatmap Visualizations: The limited availability of heatmap visualizations in Crazy Egg has been seen as a drawback by users. They feel that having more options for visualizing data would enhance their understanding and analysis capabilities.
Lack of Detailed Reporting: Users have mentioned that the reporting in Crazy Egg is not detailed enough, leaving them without sufficient information to make well-informed decisions. They feel that there is a need for more comprehensive reports to better analyze user behavior and optimize their websites accordingly.
Users of Crazy Egg commonly recommend trying Crazy Egg for valuable insights, especially for e-commerce websites. It is worth giving a try, particularly for novice analysts or medium businesses with a UX team. Crazy Egg is recommended for CTRs, scroll depth, and session replays. Users suggest utilizing Crazy Egg's features and webinars to avoid making assumptions about user behavior and get the most out of the tool.
Users also recommend using Crazy Egg alongside other tools like Google Analytics to gain additional insights and have a more comprehensive understanding of website performance. It is seen as a great tool for heatmaps, recordings, A/B testing, and analyzing clicks using the confetti feature of the heatmap.
Furthermore, users advise signing up for the free trial of Crazy Egg to test its capabilities before making any purchasing decisions. They suggest setting it up for important pages first to maximize its value. For those who can afford it, opting for the full plan provides advantages. However, users caution against being cautious of annual pricing and notifying any changes to the account admin. It is important to be careful with renewals and unsubscribing if not satisfied. Even on a small budget, Crazy Egg is still recommended as a tool for simple heatmaps.
Overall, users find value in trying Crazy Egg, particularly for e-commerce websites. Using it alongside other tools can provide more insights, and taking advantage of the trial version and pricing options available is advised.

My view on Crazy Egg
In a process of understanding user journey on the website - we have thought of seeking a help of a tool which gives complete information on heatmaps, clicks and also gives user recordings. We have tried a few tools earlier but to some point, we are not happy with the outcomes and finally, we have preferred Crazy Egg. We tested and we got it.
It is used by me (marketing team) where I generate meaningful insights and deliver to sr.managers and stakeholders about how the user is performing with clear numbers. Crazy Egg addresses business issues in web marketing. The information says what are the do don'ts or what can be done better for that web page in order to engage the audience

- Heatmap and scroll maps are definitely the biggest asset for Crazy Egg and this helps every marketer/business user to think a lot about the website and of course! this is the selling point for them too
- Confetti feature is the 2nd and yes more important feature for someone who loves to compare user data with visits on the website. One need not go web analytics tools for other information as Confetti feature does most things happen
- Overlay feature lets the user see clicks on every segment of the page with overall visits and LIVE visits.
- Funnel analysis is definitely a missing feature and has to be initiated as users journey across pages is more important to understand and detailed view of conversion rate is important to analyze for any business user. As we live in the world of conversion rate
- Definitely the best pick for users who would like to understand the website from the user's perspective.
- ROI for this tool is directly dependent on how you use the tool as there is a lot of data can be grabbed.
- Please don't assume that the less highlighted areas in web section are of no use or least bothered. At times even a click might convert. So understand the tool before using it and this tool is always a good ROI if used by analyst mindset
- Lucky Orange and Hotjar
There are a lot of tools with similar feature and closely equal pricing- This factor is the most confusing. As we need something for our website and not every tool has everything and it took time for us to understand this. We choose Crazy Egg for its ease of using and anyone can be trained to use it.
The main reason to chose Crazy Egg is the ease of creating snapshots and downloadable features. For me personally -the "confetti" feature helped a lot and its the main feature which is like a ALL IN 1.

We use CrazyEgg to do heatmaps and scrollmaps for different devices across a variety of websites. The heatmaps allow us to see the elements of a page that users interact with on desktop and mobile devices, and the scrollmaps enable us to see which content people see as the navigate the page.
- Provides heatmaps that shows you the elements on your site that are and aren't performing well.
- Provides scrollmaps so you can see how far down a page users are scrolling and which content never gets seen.
- Screenshots show you how your website looks across a variety of different devices.
- Provides a type of clickmap called confetti that enables you visualise clicks by segments - device, new/returning visitors, campaigns and other metrics.
- Visualisations are limited - CrazyEgg doesn't offer attention maps or mousemove maps like some products.
- Screenshots can take the better part of a day to generate. If you've got large traffic and want quick insights, CrazyEgg isn't the right tool.
- No automation - if you want to run a set of heatmaps regularly to keep track of frequently changing content, this needs to be done manually.
- No integrations with A/B testing tools, which would be very helpful.
- Customer support experiences haven't been great. All requests seem to be managed by one person, who isn't interested in helping fix bugs and is generally unhelpful.
- Ability to identify under performing CTAs.
- Ability to identify important content that isn't being seen by users.
- Ability to visualise how navigation items and content performs across different device types.
ClickTale has more options than Crazy Egg - both in terms of heatmaps, and additional tools (like session replays and form analytics), but is also much more expensive.
Lucky Orange is priced similarly to Crazy Egg, and has many more features, but doesn't support different devices for heatmaps and can be flaky in capturing screenshots (I had to email support to get these to work correctly).
Mouseflow has all the extra features provided by ClickTale and Lucky Orange, but will only get you 1/10th of the visitors that Crazy Egg will for the same price.
Overall, Crazy Egg is a cost-effective, reliable and easy to use heatmapping tool that does exactly what it sets out to do (and no more). If you don't need all the extra bells and whistles of a more comprehensive tool, then its a great tool.

Support service is included, but isn't a lot of help. I've often walked away more frustrated than when I logged the initial ticket.
Yes
No - the support rep showed no interest in escalating the issue in order to fix the issue in the platform.
Unfortunately I've yet to have this experience. Recently I sent a ticket about a bug and received a response from a new support rep, and she was much better than all my previous interactions, fixing a bug in the platform very quickly. Hopefully this is a new direction for Crazy Egg support, as this was a really good experience.

Crazy Egg- Understanding the user by their own eyes
Crazy Egg is an awesome tool for heat-mapping, by far the best in the market. The confetti tool is something that I didn't find in other vendors. However, Crazy Egg should start implementing Session Replay also as heat-mapping and Session Replay go hand in hand. Otherwise the product is worth a rating of 5/5.

It aligns to the CSS. The heat-mapping tool was the best in Crazy Egg.

Our information architects and IA's who are employed by our clients use it, to analyze behavior and make page design decisions. Senior managers are another audience when we are trying to discuss or persuade.
Other TrustRadius reviews give excellent summaries of how it can be used as an analytics tool.

- Shows where people click
- For some reports, allows segmentation of visitors --- by browser, time of day, referrer, etc.
- Shows how far down people scroll
- Has numeric output (the List report) as well as a visual heat map
- In our testing, it's become clear that CE doesn't capture all clicks. Not sure why some are missed. This may not be a huge problem since you really want to get a few thousand visits before doing any analysis, and since the missed clicks seem to be random, I think the end result will be perfectly all right.
- I'd like to see just the visitor's FIRST click on a given page, as one of the alternative views.
- Better and more detailed documentation on how the tracking actually works. There is some confusion about whether the screen coordinates of the click are tracked, or the element being clicked on. The former method seems to be used in the Heat and Confetti views and can get thrown off significantly by different screen aspect ratios and resolutions. The Overlay and List views seem to be based on the element being clicked on, and these views disregard clicks that don't happen in a hot area. A detailed explanation, with implications for different site technologies (responsive, tabs, other dynamic elements) would be really helpful for a minority of customers to whom this is critical.
- Scroll map is nice but not really useful because it doesn't take into account where the fold is for the individual visitor. At least, I don't think it does (see previous comment about technical documentation). Great additions would be seeing the average fold line for all viewers, AND being able to segment like the Confetti View does. Also, it's not clear whether the scroll is measuring the middle point or the bottom of what's on their screen.
- The main positive impact is sped up decisions about whether to change a page's layout. We can throw statistics at decision makers all we want, but one well placed set of Confetti Maps will pretty much bring an end to arguments that would otherwise be based on assumptions. Really has paid off for us this way.

Somebody has to be able to put it into the page code.
Testing requires an analytical headset and good communication abilities.
Testing requires an analytical headset and good communication abilities.
- Deciding whether to change a page layout.
- Giving people a clear idea of what happens on a page. MUCH better than statistics or even Google Page View stuff.
- Figuring out activity on different links that go to the same place, without having to mess with the tracking code for general analytics programs.
- We never expected clients to want to see heat maps with every monthly analytics report. The Crazy Egg images have contributed to getting our analytics contracts renewed.
- We're probably going to spotlight a different page every month or so.

I'd do more testing before promising anything to the client. There are some pages and sites (thick pages, pre-rendered pages ... whatever ... not sure) where it just doesn't work at all, or the resulting reports are badly distorted.

No
Change management was a small part of the implementation and was well-handled
- The basic implementation is very easy. Works great with tag management also.
- Crazy Egg seems to have some excellent advanced implementation possibilities that we have not used yet, so can't evaluate them.
No
- Obtaining the tag and putting it into the page.
- Understanding most of the reports. The exception might be the Scroll Map.
- Making it work and/or interpreting the reports for a responsive page or a page with tabs, expanding sections, etc.
Yes
The main upgrade is more snapshots and it happens instantaneously. Have done this numerous times as clients or internal people get addicted and want more and more pages tracked. Also, once we realized we could have three snapshots for one page (one for each device type) we had to buy a bunch more.
Yes
Going from free to paid happened after the first use. No-brainer.

It is being used by the marketing team along with other optimizing tools to understand the users needs on the variety of websites we have. This tool allows us to see the different user patterns for each website as each target a different customer base. It also allows us to see what items are popular and what items are not or if people think they can click in a particular spot where we do not provide a link. This disconnects is then communicated to the web team and can be fixed.
- Crazy Egg allows you to see where people clicked from whatever source they came from. Whether it is organic or a referral site, these specific clicks can be measured in that particular page being tracked.
- The scroll down tracker is an effective and efficient tool to understand how your users operate. Some demographics do not scroll at all, while others will scroll to the bottom of the page no matter how long it is. This information can them be applied to formatting the website to best accommodate your target viewer.
- Crazy Egg gives a company, at least this one, plenty of views for the entire month! I can't remember the exact amount off the top of my head, but I believe it's 200,000 views. When tracking views on a specific site, you can also specify how many views you would like. For example: If I would like to track a website homepage for one week and it receives 200,000 visitors in one week, obviously I do not want to track them all. I can cut it off at 10,00 views and Crazy Egg will automatically stop the tracking for me.
- I would say overall Crazy Egg is a great tool, but one additional thing I would like made is an archive tool. Archiving Crazy Egg by hand, which was my job, is quite the tedious task, but once it is done, we have those records forever. We can look back and see how our holiday campaign did the last few years with what worked and what didn't, but I wish I was able to archive these on the website. Maybe not even necessarily on the website, but be able to have an archive tool so I would not have to download each page being tracked one by one. I guess what I am trying to get at is some form of excel documentation that would download in the same form every time. This way it could be copied and pasted into a general excel spreadsheet if people desired to archive their findings.
- Being able to track over 200,000 visits would be nice with just the basic Crazy Egg. You are able to upgrade for more space, but that costs more as well. Although I completely understand why it is limited. But the pricing is quite the bargain considering all that you receive!
- The tech support is great! But it seems like they are understaffed. I haven't had many issues with it and the company seems to respond quickly even if they are short staffed. They have treated the company very well.
- It had one major negative impact where a Crazy Egg bug shut down our sites for an extended period of time and was estimated that the company lost thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars at that point in time. Obviously there is no way Crazy Egg can make up for that loss, but they reacted as best they could to the situation and the company is still happy with Crazy Egg today.
- A positive impact is that you can see the use of new items on the website, which ultimately increases employee efficiency. Employees can see what works and what does not for each demographic for each website. The company has monthly meetings just to look over how successful or unsuccessful a certain campaign was.
- Another positive impact Crazy Egg has had on the company is friendly usability of the websites. We are able to understand the customers needs, wants, and how they interact with the site. When customers are happy and the site is user friendly, they will not immediately bounce off the site and are more likely to convert.
- Optimizely,Google Analytics
The company actually still uses Optimizely and Google Analytics as well. Optimizely works well with Crazy Egg because we can do beta testing not only to see if the conversion rate goes up (Optimizely), but also see how the user is interacting with the change (Crazy Egg). Google Analytics is in a class of its own. I don't feel it can directly be compared to Crazy Egg because, while it tracks what the user is doing, you are not visibly able to see it. Having that visible aspect on Crazy Egg is great!
No
Being a smaller company, paying for premium support does not benefit because there just is not enough problems that come up where it would be worth it. It is not something that needs to be worried about with Crazy Egg. They are about their customers and it shows with their response times.
Yes
I have reported a few bugs to Crazy Egg. Every single one was responded to in a timely manner (max of two days if my memory serves me correct) whether or not they knew the answer. Most times they did, but every once in a while I could tell there was a bug but they had no record of it in their system.
There was a time that Crazy Egg had a bug that shut down all of the websites at the company I was working for at the time. This bug caused the loss of thousands of dollars, maybe even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Obviously there is not anything Crazy Egg could do about it at that point in time, but fix it right away. After contacting them about the bug, they personally gave the company free Crazy Egg for life. This is a once in a lifetime chance that it would ever happen, but they responded quickly, to the best of their ability, and made up for it the best they could.
