UserTesting is helpful for us to get feedback on changes we would like to make in our user interfaces. The participants in studies help us learn which UX/UI is preferred and which UX/UI leads to more efficient and successful task completion. It's a very helpful tool to get rapid feedback. That allows us to iterate and test again, quickly, which is essential for our product teams.
  • Recruit good participants
  • Relatively intuitive screener and protocol creation
  • Easy to download data
  • I often need to spend time "cleaning" the data once I download it. I think the existing formatting could be improved
  • It's difficult to make a video clip
  • It would be great if there was a way to incorporate more advanced survey tools
UserTesting is well suited for business end user and consumer end user research. I've found it less helpful for recruiting some more niche participant groups such as IT administrators.

I often utilize UserTesting's unmoderated sessions to get quick feedback on designs or prototypes. Sometimes I use it for moderated sessions as well.

In our organization, we rely on UserTesting to validate new app features before development. By testing these features, we gather valuable insights to support stakeholder discussions. UserTesting helps us address business problems like ensuring feature alignment with user needs and enhancing decision-making processes. Our use case primarily focuses on pre-development testing to inform feature design and improve stakeholder buy-in.
  • Rapid Feedback Gathering
  • Extensive Contributor Base and Versatile Profile Filtering
  • Enhanced A/B testing options
  • Enable other members to edit and manage sessions
UserTesting proves invaluable for obtaining high-quality outcome insights, enabling the capture of users' faces and behaviors as if you were alongside them. However, if your focus shifts towards acquiring larger quantities of data, alternative avenues might be more appropriate. UserTesting prioritizes depth over breadth, excelling in detailed qualitative feedback rather than sheer quantity.

UserTesting can be a powerful tool to understand how real people experience my organization's software. Here's how I leverage it within my team. I start by defining clear goals for my user testing session. What specific questions do I have about user behaviour? UserTesting offers its participant pool, or I can recruit my testers based on my target audience. Once participants are selected, I'll create a test scenario with tasks for users to complete while interacting with the interface. The beauty of UserTesting is that it facilitates remote, unmoderated sessions. Users complete the tasks on their own while recording their screen and audio. This allows me to observe genuine user reactions and thought processes without influencing their experience. After the test, UserTesting provides recordings of each participant's session. I can watch them individually or share them with my team. As I analyze the recordings, I pay attention to areas where users struggle or hesitate. This can reveal issues with the interface's usability. UserTesting also offers tools to highlight key moments and create clips for easy reference and discussion with my colleagues. By synthesizing the findings from the user testing sessions, I can identify opportunities to improve the user experience. UserTesting empowers my organization to make data-driven decisions based on real user behaviour.
  • unmoderated sessions
  • highlights of the key moments in the recorded session
  • replacing participants in case of unsuccessful session
  • improve the audience so we can target even more specific groups
  • AI powered analysis of the sessions with data put into affinity diagrams
  • verification of the participants, make sure people pot more or less true data about themselves
It's the best for A/B tests or tests where you need a broad audience. If you don't need a real niche audience (that you should recruit then rather yourself), then you can rely on UserTesting. It's good because it's so quick, almost instant, it takes about 10 minutes on average before I can start reviewing and documenting sessions.

Using it mainly for evaluative research for our website and app as well as more generative research via interviews. It helps us with the ease of recruitment to talk to our users, streamlining research operations through screener templates and study templates, and hosting videos or results to easily share with stakeholders.
  • Great customer support should you have a question or issue
  • Easy to recruit and build studies
  • Useful metric features to view ratings, time on tasks, paths, multiple choice prompts, and sentiment analysis
  • Incredibly quick turnaround time on launching studies and getting results back
  • Technical issues periodically
  • Participants in unmoderated studies not being very good user testers (but UT has great functionality built-in to alleviate these situations to replace a tester at no cost or fix the issue)
  • Limited survey functionality and features (ie no rank sorting question)
  • No skip logic or other types of functionality in screener
UserTesting.com is great service for getting quick feedback or something more in-depth. It's well-suited for usability studies and customer interviews, less so for surveys, tree testing or card sorting. Although it has that functionality, it doesn't meet a really delightful experience compared to other tools in that department. Their AI analysis feature is also very handy and works really well.

Our UX/UI team uses UserTesting regularly to conduct research studies. We have used different features, from unmoderated tests like A/B testing or prototype tests to live User Interviews. We enjoy the pool of candidates that are found within a few minutes of the test launch. Why do we use it? To talk to users within our industry to understand their needs, motivations, and expectations when using products like ours. We believe this tool is currently the best option on the market to combine all of our research efforts. The only struggle is the limited amount of pre-screener questions and the limitations within Canada (provinces/terretories).
  • Intuitive software
  • Easy onboarding
  • Fast participant recruitment
  • Easy scheduling
  • Confidentiality agreement toggle - Name might be confusing when used for other documents like NDAs or Privacy Policies
  • Recruitment in Canada - balanced demographic within provinces/ territories
Any research efforts are met perfectly with this tool. We can do moderated or unmoderated sessions and utilize the transcript for quotes. For live sessions like User Interviews, we also like the option to have a note taker in the call that the participant is unaware off. We believe this created less stress on the participant. As mentioned before, the only problem we are facing as a Canadian company is the pre screening process. We would like to have participants represented from within all our provinces and territories. This causes us to launch multiple tests and then reject/accept a certain province for each one.

UserTesting is used across the user experience team at my company to answer the research questions that we have across our product teams that we support. We use it for a variety of research methods from unmoderated to moderated, generative to evaluative, and more. The problems that the platform helps us solve are the ability to test our assumptions and quickly gain feedback on design concepts that influences the product decisions that our teams makes.
  • Finding niche audiences
  • Ability to collaborate with other UX teammates or product partners
  • Quickly getting insights
  • Expanding their panel of healthcare users and customers
  • Better validation that users are who they say they are
  • More accurate and helpful sentiment analysis on sessions
UserTesting is a great way to quickly gain user or customer feedback in both generative and evaluative research studies. Want to better understand who your users are but don't have time to be on moderated interviews, UserTesting can help. Want to gain early feedback on design concepts, they can help you there too.

My team uses UserTesting to conduct moderated and unmoderated usability testing and interviews. The platform solves for not having to manage your own recruitment and incentivization processes. It also helps with the recording and analysis process post-facilitation.
  • Recruitment (broad and vast panel audience)
  • Incentivization
  • Fast-paced and smooth end-to-end delivery
  • Recording
  • Transcription
  • Inviting team members to observe live or asynchronously
  • AI-powered Sentiment Analysis
  • Managing clip snippets
  • Cross-timezone scheduling - On the participant scheduling page, it always defaults to Pacific Time (PT). If participants don't notice this and miss my instructions, they'll go ahead and schedule in PT, even if they're in a different timezone, resulting in having to reschedule their session, which is very cumbersome and time-consuming.
  • Duration of Sessions - You only offer pre-set durations, such as 30 mins and 60 mins, if I recall correctly. Please allow us to select our own durations, such as 45 mins. Also, once the "timer" is up, Zoom just ends the session automatically, which is problematic when often times the sessions go over the allotment, resulting in an abrupt ending.
UserTesting is the best tool I've worked with for facilitating any research projects - ranging from discovery to evaluative research. I appreciate that it offers a variety of methods, beyond just usability testing. It also includes newer features like card sorting and tree testing. By integrating these features, it negates the need to use another tool such as OptimalWorkshop for which your team may not have a license.

We use UserZoom, recently acquired by UserTesting. It's an efficient tool for completing concept tests and usability tests quickly and effectively - completely removes lengthy participant recruitment processes.
  • Usability test participant recruitment
  • Unmoderated usability testing
  • Panels can be hit or miss, depending on the study
Best suited for task analysis and traditional usability testing

Less appropriate for discovery research, open-ended research and interviewing (even when opting to do a moderated study, the quality really depends on the panel you are looking for)

Our team has been leveraging usertesting.com for conducting all the unmoderated and moderated research. The tool is pretty intuitive and helps our designer able to conduct the unmoderated tests without any support. The team at usertesting.com has been immensely helpful in working with us in putting together the right set of documentation which standardizes our overall research operations. Their acquisition of UserZoom has also integrated all our userbase into one. I highly recommend usertesting.com to others! We did evaluate other tools but the quality of the product, easy integration w/Figma and their Support system makes this an absolute 10/10!
  • Support system
  • Intuitive and easy to learn
  • Their certification process giving our users industry wide recognition
  • Not really with usertesting but there are opportunities with their integrations w/Figma
Best suited for researchers to conduct moderated tests and UX designers to conduct unmoderated tests! Not suited for diary studies!

UserTesting gives us access to general consumer panels that we otherwise would have no way to communicate with, let alone efficiently recruit for research. UserTesting also allows us to conduct a variety of methods including (but not limited to) moderated interviews, unmoderated usability testing, cart sorts, and more. One of the features we find most beneficial with UserTesting is its out-of-the-box panel filtration and custom screening capabilities, both of which help us recruit the most appropriate research candidates based on learning objectives and timelines.
  • Effective panel recruitment
  • Quick, informative, & friendly customer service
  • Smooth unmoderated usability testing
  • Highlight reel creation
  • Straightforward test creation
  • Card sorting feature
  • Ability to re-launch tests myself that aren't picking up participants as quickly as I'd like
Most appropriate for:
-Panel recruitment
-Unmoderated usability testing
-Quick tests
-Moderated interviews
-Unmoderated interviews

Less appropriate for:
-Card sorts
-Surveys

As a UX Designer, I have completed an internal course that allows me to set up my own tests with the guidance of an assigned UX Researcher. I mainly use UserTesting to test design concepts we are currently ideating on to learn how participants interact with our prototypes. So far I have launched unmoderated card sorts and usability tests and both have helped give me the information I need to either start designing solutions, or go forward with the solution I had already proposed.
  • Ease of use to set up tests
  • Time stamping transcriptions
  • Connecting the correct participants based off screener
  • Updates sent to email once a test is completed
  • The word cloud function isn't very accurate.
  • Personally, I wish participants didn't have to open a Figma prototype link in a separate tab. I wish it could stay in UserTesting so they don't have to hop between tabs.
  • Having certain filters set to default sometimes slip by me. I wish those had no default and were required so I can be sure to not skip over it.
UserTesting is great to help designers get validation on their designs to see if they are initiative or user friendly, however it can also determine if a design needs more work if participants have trouble using/understanding it. At my company, we tend to test after ideation and solutioning to help validate which concept to go forward with, but I am hoping in the future we can start testing early on in the ideation phase to help us get enough supporting evidence to determine whether or not we should explore a design further to create a better case with product and tech folks.

UserTesting allows me to create moderated and non-moderated usability tests quickly and easily. I don't need to worry about recruiting participants as they have a very wide range of participants available.
  • Recruitment
  • Setting up usability tests
  • Transcritpion
  • Using better AI for transcription
  • Sometimes it's buggy when setting up a test
  • It doesn't really work as a repository
UserTesting solves the problem of recruitment. Thanks to UserTesting I can recruit participants from different countries around the world with the characteristics I need. Recruitment is a very difficult process for a small research team and I sometimes still struggle with that; for example, when recruiting minors for research. But not having to do the whole recruitment and reward process is a huge benefit.

Evaluating new product features with real users: UserTesting helps us gather feedback on new product features before they are released to the general public. We create tests for specific user flows and invite participants to provide feedback on their experience using the feature. This allows us to identify any issues or pain points early on and make necessary adjustments before releasing the feature.
  • easy setup of ux testing
  • recording of videos
  • Testers quality has degraded over time and they could benefit from acquiring more motivated testers
  • Make it easier to distribute mobile app builds
  • Tester sometimes don't answer screener questions truthfully creating unnecessary work for our team
Well-suited scenarios
Basic and quick user testing for general user segments: UserTesting is great for getting quick and basic feedback on general user segments. It is easy to set up and can provide valuable insights into the user experience of a product.Testing specific features or user flows: UserTesting can be effective in evaluating the usability of specific features or user flows. This can help identify any issues or pain points that need to be addressed.

Less appropriate scenarios
Requiring specific user segments: If you require testers from a specific demographic or with certain qualifications, UserTesting may not be the best option. In my experience, relying on UserTesting to recruit specific user segments often resulted in low quality testers and unreliable feedback.In-depth research: UserTesting may not be suitable for conducting in-depth research. If you need more detailed feedback or want to conduct more complex studies, it may be better to use other research methods or tools.

We use it mostly to save time on Research Operations like unmoderated usability tests and consumer videos. We also use it for Usability metrics like SUS. I really like the capability of using their network recruitment base with the screener feature that saves me also time for quality feedbacks and video consumers.
  • Recruitmet

It was a good resource to capture unboxing videos, ab tests, unmoderated usability studies and costumer videos to gain insights and feedbacks on our user experience research studies. It's really easy to share the insights and keep everything in one place. It's good for recruiting from a large-range sample on their own network base saving some time on research operational process.

I use it for quick unmoderated user feedback on live sites and prototypes. We use the feedback to guide development decisions to make sure that they are in line with user needs and goals.
  • Recruitment
  • Unmoderated
  • Customer service
  • Broader offering of of types of questions and response types. Current selection is just to limited.
It just makes it really easy to quickly gather feedback from contributors. For US markets I normally get 10 respondents within 2 hours of launching the study. The turn around time is great in a last minute thinking culture at times. I extensively use use and appreciate the pre-panel filters, super easy and helpful.

At my company, we create prototypes for usability testing. These prototypes might be for our website or internal digital applications. We want to ensure the design is easy to use and intuitive before we put it into production. UserTesting is where we confirm this. We have used monitored and unmonitored testing but mainly use the unmonitored.
  • Unmonitored tests being broken down into steps
  • Screener questions
  • Templates to be able to quickly create similar tests
  • Highlight reels
  • More types of questions for unmonitored test (add stack ranking question type)
  • Providing user averages for data questions (ranking scale)
UserTesting has been great for usability testing and getting feedback on a prototype/design before putting it into production. It is very helpful to watch how people interact with your design without any bias. When watching the videos, I can easily make comments about the user and my observations for me to go back too.

I use UserTesting to help evaluate future digital experiences for the CDC website. In the past, I've used it to evaluate prototypes for the Home Depot.com. Basically UserTesting helps the organization make the right decisions before proceeding with the development and coding of the product. The scope of my use case was that it helped me pass along those right decisions back to the organization with the data received from UserTesting sessions that I conducted, moderated and unmoderated.
  • Returns feedback/data back real quick from customers
  • Provides easy to use analysis tools within the platform to analyze data
  • Feedback can easily be shared with people in and outside the organization.
  • They could make it easier to know how well a screener will succeed
  • They could allow more robust card sorting capabilities
  • They could allow for a research repository within the tool
It is incredibly well suited when you need to get feedback on experiences or products that need quick feedback fast, also well suited when a team needs to continuously iterate and get feedback on a product. It is also well suited when a team needs to conduct discovery research and understand and define customer problems, and be able to talk to customers in real time. It is not well suited for other methodologies like surveys or paper prototyping.

UserTesting allows me and my team to create and complete user tests incredibly quickly and cheaply. User testing used to be incredibly expensive and time consuming and as such wasn’t completed as often as it should have been.

With UserTesting, we can set up, deploy, and get results within ONE WEEK with no extra costs beyond what we pay for the service. It’s a true game changer to get voice of the customer feedback in near real-time and get feedback more often.

We use it mostly for unmoderated testing to see usage, workflow, and pain points encountered on our site as well as uploading interviews to create clips.
  • I particularly like the note taking feature, that you're able to export the notes and has time stamps for the notes.
  • I like that it is relatively fast to recruit users.
  • It is pretty simple to set up a user test: the tasks.
  • The UI ironically is a bit difficult to use. Sometimes its difficult to navigate around.
  • The tagging feature could be really useful, but it doesn't allow you to create tags for projects (only tags that go across all of your projects) so it makes it difficult to use.
  • Creating reels could also be better. Similarly it isn't by project so it can be tedious to create them because you have to look through so many clips.
  • It doesn't allow you to collaboratively take notes in a live session. It would be really useful to be able to use it like an observation room and have participants take notes that are time stamped.
Best suited: low complexity user testing of a prototype or live site. Less appropriate: user tests that are more foundational in nature and require follow up questions, as well as testing complicated flows in prototypes because you can't course correct participants easily.

UserTesting is mainly used by our UX team (designers, writers, researchers) to inform the development of our Hi-Fi designs and content. It allows us to see whether users understand and like the designs before releasing updates to our app and onboarding journey. Members of the marketing team also use it in order to test different campaign designs and messaging.
  • Very fast responses from users
  • Very detailed qualitative feedback
  • Easy to use and set-up
  • The export to Excel function could be improved. It works, but I often have to manipulate it when analysing.
Really good for getting super-fast feedback to help sense-check that your designs are heading in the right direction. As a default you are able to record the user's face (as well as their screen) which makes for really engaging video recordings to analyse. Verbal feedback is automatically transcribed and there is an automated sentiment feature which helps identify problems to rectify really quickly.

We use UserTesting to validate product ideas, test our product's usability and iterate on product designs. UserTesting helps us see the usability issues of our product that are otherwise hard to see. We may be biased against our own product, or because we are too familiar it prevents us from seeing these issues. UserTesting also helps us minimize the time spent on usability tests as it enables us to do unmoderated tests with the demographic of our choice.
  • Taking notes with video clips. I can take notes while I am watching a session and I can create clips of UX issues or bugs occurring. This really helps when I share them with other teams.
  • Exporting all your notes. I analyze all usability tests by exporting my notes from UserTesting. I wish I could bulk export multiple tests though.
  • Setting up demographics. This helps me reach out to users who are similar to our audience.
  • Setting up screeners. Some studies require specific audiences (using a specific tool etc.), by setting screeners I can make sure I reached the correct audience.
  • Bulk exporting multiple tests.
  • I believe some contributors are lying on their demographic info. Sometimes when I try to reach native English speakers or another language, I come across users who are not native speakers even though I set up demographics accordingly.
UserTesting is ideal for big companies that work in an agile setting. If you are working in a fast paces environment and need to get some insights fast, UserTesting helps a lot. If you are creative, and know how to ask questions, you would be surprised how fast UserTesting starts to show its value. We are a small team and we try to minimize our work load as much as we can by optimizing our research operations, so making unmoderated tests are very important to us. If you are a small company with limited resources though, it might be expensive. Then, buying multiple tools that cover different areas might actually become more affordable.

I use the tool to understand “why” our numbers for traffic, click rates, customer satisfaction, etc are the way they are and insight into what to do to make improvements. Use cases can range from explaining interactions with a CTA (call to action) button to strategy for how we address a whole market. Biases from leadership are changed when we are able to share real customers sharing how they interact and why in videos. Before the tool, assumptions on what would work were only rhetorical and bias. Now we can provide real, transparent, truthful recommendations which have made dramatic impacts to all areas using the tool for research.
  • Observing how people react to experiences
  • Hearing the emphasis in feelings from interactions
  • Getting quotes from customers to make the case for changes
  • Using the survey to pull out thought, desires, and ideas from customers
  • Pulling the data together for presentations is rough and time consuming. I suggest that user testing perform testing on how we use the tool to organize the research to present to leaders so that additional tool to support this can be made available in the tool.
  • Custom network is clunky and difficult to use. It is not easy to get our customers and target market to sign up. I have to hand-hold them. Sometimes they don’t get the email to sign up. I would like to enter what I already know about them (profiles) into the tool myself and then send the invite for the test.
  • Would like to be able to search all past research on topics through the transcript rather than rely on just my notes.
Great for observing, hearing, and asking. Bad for getting solid opinions unless you had a lot of people for stats. You cannot act on 5 people casually saying, “I like this over that,” because many times the testers just want to finish the test and give false positives.

My team uses UserTesting for qualitative research both unmoderated and moderated. The tool allows us to gain insights from users quickly and efficiently. It saves time on recruitment and the platform makes it easy to analyze data as it provides transcripts and video clips. We use the tool to gain feedback on our current products as well as new ideas/concept.
  • unmoderated or remote product testing
  • high quality participants that give strong and detailed insights
  • quick insights
  • large and diverse recruitment pool
  • qualitative research analyzing tools could be better
  • cost is very high
  • easier collaboration with other team member
UserTesting is really great when you want to get insights on a prototype. You can have participants walk through the prototype and conduct speak out loud so you can hear directly from them on what they like, dislike and any sources of confusion. If you want to be able to probe or have a conversation with users you could recruit through UserTesting but it would like be more efficient and cost saying to use Zoom.
