Product Details

What is Userlane?

The technology developed by Userlane is designed to guide users through software like a GPS turn-by-turn navigation system. The vendor says this allows every user to operate even complex software on a professional level without any learning curve.

Userlane includes interactive step-by-step guides, which can be implemented on top of every existing web-based software or e-commerce website. These interactive guides lead every user through all processes and show them live within the software where to click next - just like the GPS navigation system in cars offers its driver turn-by-turn advice how to optimally reach his or her destination.

Unlike video tutorials, the Userlane technology is integrated into the software. Users receive interactive guidance, while they are already working in the application itself. The vendor says this allows companies to improve their onboarding experience, reduce support and employee training costs and implement new software products more efficiently.

We work with Userlane across several applications to reduce the friction our employees experience with complex workflows. We had launched a new application and realized that despite the effort we had put into training our users, most people were still using the previous "old" application which made it impossible for us to sunset it at the date we had planned. Userlane helped us improve the experience on the new application and we were able to get people to accept and actively use the new application within a few weeks. This helped us cut the cost of running two systems in parallel. Additionally, we also received positive feedback on the Userlane assistance from our users.
  • Stellar user experience - best one we saw in our vendor comparison.
  • Fast to setup and easy to maintain.
  • Great support and advice, very pleasant interactions.
  • Easy to scale across multiple applications.
  • Currently only for web-based applications.
  • Some vendors have a lower price point.
Well suited:
  • Web-based software with many users, complex processes (or both) --> Easy to fix a lot of common support / training issues very fast
  • Software rollouts with high costs associated to ensure user acceptance is great --> Great feedback from users
  • Multiple applications where processes are adjusted regularly --> Fast to roll out across many apps and easy to maintain
Not so well suited:
  • Desktop apps -- > Doesn't really work for desktop
  • Mobile apps --> Limited support, only works for web-based mobile apps
  • Small user base (less than 50 users) --> Not required when there are only a few users
  • Interactive Guides & tooltips
  • Assistant widget with integration to knowledgebase and support
  • Usage analytics
  • High ROI as we could finally sunset an old app and migrate all users to the new one.
  • Support tickets have significantly gone down and we could reduce call-center cost.
  • Positive user feedback has been great to motivate the team.
WalkMe
Very comprehensive platform with lots of functionality but too complicated to actually get things done. Looked like a lot of effort to maintain and their team has not been super helpful

Whatfix
Good price and has many features but not a very robust platform. Encountered several bugs and our infosec team had privacy/security concerns

Pendo
Really strong analytics suite. Guidance and tooltips were not as easy to use. Probably good for software companies to see how their own apps perform, but not recommended when working with 3rd party software, therefore no fit for our use case to make life easier for our employees

As we needed to increase the adoption and acceptance of our users on our app, it has been essential to us, that we have something that our users actually like. Therefore we needed something that not just offers 100s of features, but a platform that is easy to use and has a great user experience - we already have enough complex software, buying a complex digital adoption platform seemed not a good idea for us to solve our challenge. In the end, we tested several vendors and looked at how our users worked with them - their feedback helped us make the decision.
Our process went smooth and while procurement took a little longer than I had wanted, there is not much we would change.
  • Easy to use content editor, no specific knowledge needed
  • Super fast to create interactive guides, went live within days
  • Clean and actionable analytics, not too bloated
  • Content editor --> very easy and fast
  • Knowledge-base integation --> easy to set up
  • Language management could be a little easier

Userlane is a digital adaptation platform like other platforms providing help in mastering any software with [a] team of helpers and virtual assistants helping in mastering technical and non-technical software. It helps in software usage by providing on screen help. Companies with distributed workspace can benefit from Userlane. Wonderful and delightful experience if I consider my workplace.
  • Unbiased people and company.
  • Professional team.
  • Solution oriented team.
  • More [in] depth analytics required.
  • Support should address more individual customer needs.
  • Direct synchronization with CRM would be beneficial.
It is well suit[ed] because of professional virtual assistants. Also quality is a great concern with well developed strategy from implementation till execution. Customer support needs improvement in addressing individual customer needs. User level analytics should be incorporated. These concerns would be really helpful if taken into consideration. Otherwise, it's a great platform.
  • Virtual Assistance
  • On-screen Support
  • Professional Team
  • Virtual Assistants - No investment on team required.
  • User friendly interface.
  • Promotion features would increase investment cost.
I haven't used any other to much extent.

We use Userlane to onboard our new users, communicate our newest features with them and give them tutorials within our software. We have different types of users, so we make different user experiences for different users with Userlane. Also, we can analyze the use of our software from new users and how the different tutorials are being used and where they can be improved.
  • Easy to implement, started within a day on our live stage.
  • Superior user onboarding.
  • Excellent customer support.
  • Downloadable analytics.
  • Promotion feature.
  • Selling features.
Userlane is excellent to show new users in your software, show them the main functionality and after that give them a deep dive of every single feature. After that, you can deliver them new tutorials with every new functionality of your software and explain to them the use of your software in a very intuitive way. It's not well suited to advertise within your software with coupons or offers.
  • Higher conversion rate.
  • Less support needed.
  • Proactive communication solves the most user questions.
