UserGuiding is a great value but you'll need time to understand it
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used it to target new members so we could give them customized 'walk-through' training. We were also going to use it to target new product announcements toward specific user types and track which new members completed training modules (or how far they got), as well as build out the modules to be branded to their specific company logo and colors.
Pros
- Good price
- Responsive CS and sales team
- Had all of the features we were looking for
Cons
- The initial setup process isn't as transparently intuitive as it was sold
- It's a fairly large barrier to entry for one person to get the guides set up
- We weren't instructed how to 'turn off' the URL hits until we had our parameters segmented so the first two months we hit our limits before anything was even launched on our end. That made testing hard.
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend this to teams who have multiple people who can work together in getting the necessary source codes input, the guides built, and the parameters identified. I would also recommend this product to anyone who is primarily concerned about price. Compared to competitors, the price vs the feature set was by far the best out of the 6 companies I demoed with.
If one person is trying to get this set up and it isn't part of their full-time job, it will take a while because there is a pretty big learning curve as to what order to do things. Further, once the basics are set up, it does take a fair amount of time and testing to build the walk-throughs, especially if you want to use advanced logic.
