Inspectlet is a great session replay tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Inspectlet is mainly used for session replay. It is only used by my digital department. It allows to review user experience in real time and helps us understand our site from customer's perspective. We have been able to unearth issues tied to our site that we would have never able to uncover just with our error tracking of the site.

Pros

Cheapest and easiest implementation
Don't need too much infrastructure like other session replay tools
Allows us to tie each user session to different sections of the site
We had created a chrome extension that would make the session ids clickable and would link off to load an actual session replay URL without us going into the tool and searching for it until Google disabled it.
Collects javascript errors separately

Cons

Be more consistent on recording the sessions
Create an approved chrome extension that can be used to link session replay ids we gather in our Analytics tool like Adobe to the actual Inspectlet tool
Lots of times main dashboard doesn't load. Make the tool more bug free.

Likelihood to Recommend

Small organization with limited resource can really make use of [Inspectlet]. Its really user friendly and don't need much expertise or training to use and you can have the entire department using it the very next day its implemented.

But if its a large company, you might be better off with other session replay tools.

Inspectlet for marketing and sales success

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Inspectlet was being used across the organization to understand user interaction with our website.

Marketing used it extensively as a tool to understand how users were interacting with our site. By watching multiple sessions and using Inspectlet's funnel feature, we were able to identify key points on the site where people were getting confused. Inspectlet also showed us that there were some website elements that users thought were clickable. This was very valuable data when iterating on designs.

Our sales staff also utilized the tool before interacting with leads on the phone. It allows them to see the content the lead was viewing and get better prepared for their calls.

Pros

Inspectlet does analysis of sessions really well. We were able to view our funnel and view sessions that completed and dropped-off at various points. Setting up the funnel and doing the analysis was very easy.
I thought Inspectlet was very easy to integrate. During the integration, I was able to send metadata that allowed for increased flexibility during analysis. I loved that Inspectlet integrated with Segment.io.
I thought the tool's pricing was positioned well for the features it offered.

Cons

When filtering and segmenting the list of captures, sometimes it can take a while to load the newly segmented list.
Occasional glitches occur in the screen recordings. They are not perfect but provide a good high level overview of user interaction.
With their clickmap tool, I would frequently see areas being clicked that weren't links and didn't seem like areas people would accidentally click. This was mostly a problem with a low sample rate but with more users, the display got better.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think Inspectlet is a great tool for people who don't want to spend too much time or money integrating a screen session tool. I like how it does captures without you needing to set it up, which is a problem I have encountered with other tools. I think that it can be a great, passive data source for marketing and sales teams.
