  • Heat maps - seeing where users click the most
  • User session review - seeing how users interact with our product
  • retrieving lost information - gathering lost information users have input and lost due to miscellaneous errors
  • sometimes, user identities are not always tied to the email address associated with their account when looking up their sessions
  • I'd like the ability to copy text directly from a user session screen instead of having to copy text inputted by the user in the code on the side

  • Tracking custom events like browser or connection errors.
  • Support dashboards - to track common errors.
  • Sharing evidence of issues with our Engineering + Product Teams.
  • Overages are not well managed by FullStory - especially for contractural-based agreements.
  • There should be options to avoid tracking certain parts of our portal - which in turn would reduce our fees - we do not need to track 100% of the session data we see via FS.

  • I really like the dead click feature.
  • It's easy to find sessions on specific pages I'm looking at.
  • It's awesome to actually watch what each user did in that session through video.
  • more plain speak and less code talk (the "if/then" stuff just let me type out what I want and you understand it.
  • Hard to sometimes find the right starting point or page where I need to begin a search.
  • Sharing with others is cool but would be cooler to interact on the website as a whole rather than sharing a link to a session, have like a shared stuff on the site (maybe that already exists?)

  • Session Recording and Searching.
  • Simple Funnel Reports.
  • Highlighting problem areas (dead clicks, frustrated actions, etc).
  • Matching funnel fallout with sessions (like being able to see people that fall out).
  • More robust reporting.

  • Tracks users' online experiences from start to finish.
  • Makes it easy to share a customer's experiences with the rest of my team.
  • Allows me to use different methods to find evidence of a customer's experience.
  • Shows page insights via segmentation that help me know where to improve my site.
  • Tracks error clicks and dead clicks for quick insights into site improvements.
  • Integrates with HelpScout for easy access to customer problem-solving.
  • Sometimes it seems like we're missing sessions even before we've passed our quota.
  • Would be nice to get notifications regarding large dead click areas and insights on what to change.
  • Would be cool to have suggested people. For I.e. if a user comes in with one email but complains to us via another, it can be hard to find them. Can Fullstory connect the dots so we don't have to?
  • Pricing is pretty high. We'd like to get more sessions but it's too much $$$.

  • Record user sessions.
  • Show metrics of many use cases in our product.
  • Show insights from user sessions, including inspect mode and performance tools.
  • UI takes time to load in recorded sessions.
  • When searching for events, more grouping by a user can be helpful.
  • Jumping between seconds in a recorded session is clumsy since it isn't accurate with the player tool. Even a second-by-second jump button can help with this.
  • The search and filter can suggest more common options.

  • A recreated DOM that looks as close to the end user's view.
  • Collaborative tools to discuss the user problem and solutions in the context of the observed issue.
  • It helps find technical errors, places the user tried clicking and got frustrated about, and rage clicks.
  • Heat maps of engagement.
  • Much better limits on recordings. We have to build this in-house, and it takes a lot of attention.
  • Events are too expensive.
  • Mobile should have everything visible by default and not vice versa.

  • Easily shows you the "what" users are doing.
  • Allows you to quickly segment users based on different criteria to evaluate behaviors or trends.
  • Makes it really easy to collaborate around issues that users are having.
  • Allows you to easily create dashboards, funnels, and metrics to compile data on what users are doing.

  • The inspect panel which allows me to select specific buttons and add them to my search
  • Play speed options and skipping inactivity that allows me to quickly review user sessions
  • The Funnel card that shows me the presentage of users completing each step of the funnel
  • It's great when counting users, less clear for counting events
  • Would like to have the "user watched" on cheaper plans as well
  • I would like to see "time" (as in time to complete) take a larger part and be easier to analyse

  • Monitor time on task and map changes over time
  • Monitor the usage of particular tools and show trends over time
  • Create really specific segments so that we can observe the patterns of a specific cohort of users
  • Create a direct link to any point in playback so that example is easily shared with support.
  • I'd like to see a way of measuring scroll-thrashing...when users are rapidly scrolling up and down
  • I'd like to export my dashboard as a pdf file so its easier to share
