We use UserTesting to quickly test prototypes and iterate on them. We love it because of the quick results we can get to continue our work. It helps us save time on recruitment, scheduling, analysis, and the creation of reports.
  • Scheduling of participants in a fast way
  • Supporting analysis of videos by auto-transcriptions and sentiment analysis
  • Templates for the different tests and inspiration for questions
  • Supporting your own recruited users in myPanel
  • That you can test unlimited for the money you pay, this helps us run a lot of tests.
  • Slow with implementing feedback from the users. [I] have emailed many times about different issues that are quick fixes [and] they always promise, but [they] don't implement the changes. I think they should invest more in user research themselves.
  • The MyPanel environment is extremely limited and you have no control over the messaging that's sent to your panel members, nor the compensation of tests.
  • In general, I find the way of how the clips creation works not so intuitive, but I'm happy the functionality is there. I just wish they did more research with real users to find out how to improve it. I'm sure you'll notice after five users what's wrong with it.
UserTesting is great for quick usability feedback where you don't have specific requirements for your users. Usually, we get results within the same day so that's great. The quality of users in the panel is very different. Usually, we get some good ones that really explain why they think something is good or bad.

UserTesting is not so great if you want to manage your own panel and do tests with your own users. Companies should be careful when doing research that they not only depend on a tool like UserTesting, because people get paid to do your tests, they don't have any personal involvement with your product. This could lead to biased answers and could lead companies in the wrong way. We tried to create our own users' panel on UserTesting, but the functionality is so limited that we switched back to our old ways. We do additional testing and interviews with our own real users so that we make sure we're not getting biased results.
  • Faster time to market
  • Cost savings
  • Possible increased Customer Satisfaction (but it's hard to measure that UT only led to the increase)
I give a 7 because the support, in general, is quite fast and helpful. However, the actual implementation of fixes is incredibly slow. I have contacted support for many different problems I had with the tool, yet they don't fix it. It's frustrating because you see that they do give priority to developing new features. You should focus on a good foundation as well. I even made screen recordings to make it easier for the dev guys, but it seems like I wasted my time.
For general usage it's fine, but once you start using it more and more I noticed a lot of small annoying things. It's more usable than other tools on the market, but still, I really wish they would do more research to improve the usability.

For example, making clips & reels is quite confusing in the beginning.
The insights from UserTesting feed our UX Team and help us make decisions. Usually, after UserTesting we try to validate the changes with A/B testing to make sure the change also works for our own users.

It also helped us using one tool instead of many and having everything in one place. The automatically created graphs in the report also help us to share results quickly (although it would be nice if you could just export them instead of screenshotting).

In general, we have increased our time-to-market because we find usability issues much faster in the process, and developers can start working on implementation much faster than before.
We used to use Validately when it wasn't part of UserZoom yet. A year ago, it was a decent tool but much more buggy and less intuitive than UserTesting. Also, UserTesting has a much bigger panel with more and qualitatively better testers on it. Analysis is also easier on UT.
  • The shortcuts during video analysis
  • Sending the test out and getting results back quickly
  • Using the predefined questions for a test
  • When you launch a test and you want to pause it - it's impossible it will delete your whole test and you have to start over
  • Trying to use the MyPanel in general, no control over anything, the branding logo is tiny because of some standard pixel width and our users don't trust signing up with it cause it looks like a scam
  • Creation of clips, how to find them, how to make them in a nice compilation. Especially the first time it was extremely unclear and confusing.
  • When you login and you land on the last screen you were on, but without the logo on top left so you're stuck in that screen without any way to get back to the homepage of the dashboard without changing the URL...
  • When you create a test and launch it, you get sent back to test overview and you find that the oldest test is showing first instead of the test you just launched, very confusing.
  • There are some screening questions formulated very unclear, like the one about frequency of test (last time they tested or something) it's unclear what you're actually screening/filtering on.
  • Do user research on your own tool, ask users to create a clip reel to share with stakeholders, where would they start, what problems do they run into, is it really that intuitive as you think it is?
No

My company uses UserTesting.com to get feedback on prototypes and in-production sites to ensure our designs meet our user's needs and are easily usable. It is being used in a couple departments, but impacts all of the company's digital experiences.
  • The panels are very good.
  • Their customer support is quick and helpful.
  • Their recordings and all of the features that come along with them are fantastic.
  • The panels are very good, but could always be improved. No-shows can be frustrating.
  • UserTesting.com could expand their platform to include more features outside of just usability testing (surveys, etc.).
  • The live conversations could allow for more than 5 users per study.
UserTesting.com is great if you would like rapid feedback from users on the usability of your application. The speed of the results is incredible and the majority of participants on the UserTesting.com panels will meet almost any need - whether you want to test with a more general or specific segment.
  • Faster time to market (very quick results because it removes the recruiting time).
  • Cost savings (instead of paying users out of your company's pocket, your contract with UserTesting.com covers all of that).
  • Easy access to feedback from users.
The customer service is always very quick and helpful. I like talking to a real person, not a bot.
The platform is extremely easy to learn and use.
UserTesting.com has allowed us to easily target a specific audience, bring digital experiences to production faster, and inform key business decisions.
I have not used any other similar products.

Majority of the users are User Experience Researchers
If by support, you mean tech support, we do not have anyone that works in that capacity. But like I said, we have about 25 people who utilize the tool on a regular basis.
  • Concept testing
  • Prototype usability testing
  • In-production usability testing
  • The live annotation feature is a game-changer. It saves us the time that we used to spend rewatching the recordings and taking notes.
  • Being able to validate newly released live applications very quickly has been very helpful.
  • The speed at which unmoderated studies are completed (sometimes an entire study is done in less than 30 minutes) is fantastic.
  • We like being able to conduct Intermediate studies with the help of UT.com and would like to use that more in the future.
  • With the new world of working from home, it is very helpful to be able to use Live Conversations and I anticipate we will be using it more and more moving forward.
The panel is very strong, the interface is easy to learn & use, and the speed of results is unmatched.

The panel really makes UT.com a front-runner in this field. The users are more often than not very solid and give useful feedback.

Premium support is unmatched, in my experience. The response time from a real customer service agent is immediate and I have never left a chat without a quick solution.

One time when I was conducting a Live Conversation, a user was having technical difficulties due to bad internet connection in their home. I needed to replace them with another user immediately, but was unable to add another session manually in the study. I contacted support and had another session scheduled to replace the faulty one in less than a minute due to the quick response time from the customer support team.
