We are developing software to support an emerging market of investment in biodiversity. New regulations to comply with, confusing new business processes and disconnected stakeholders. We want our users to efficiently, smoothly and successfully complete these processes so they can grow their own businesses whilst also benefitting our environment. Implementing a good digital adoption tool will be key to guiding users through our software, clever self-help related to the user’s current step/page and on-screen hints to speed up a user’s journey through the process.
Pros
Understanding the unique needs of this new emerging market and unfamiliar business processes.
Fantastic professionalism from all the Sales team and Professional Services team, right from our first enquiry via their website.
Providing a structured onboarding process and strong project management offering which helps us feel confident we will achieve our goals with Whatfix, despite our ambitious delivery timeline.
Cons
Although there are AI-type capabilities in Whatfix, we are keen to look at using voice recognition to allow users to complete forms or ask questions of the self-help tool. It is probably already on their roadmap....

To onboard new customers, guide existing customers in using our SW, remind seasonal users of standard procedures, and announce new features or functionalities.
Pros
Popups - With the newest releases, not only do I have a better GUI, I can configure them better and dynamically.
Beacons - When web elements have stable IDs, they work well and are easy to deploy.
Support - Although it takes time mostly to get a working solution, there are many ways of getting help and support.
Cons
Out of the box configurations - For every error encountered, I have the feeling there is no standard solution to the same problem and something has to be done from the back end. This costs so much time is is very frustrating for I would rather solve my own repeat problems if there was a straight forward way to do this.
SelfHelps - It does not matter the configuration, they ever feel unstable.
Flows - the JQUERY functionality meant to make flows stable by using IDs, is the most unstable feature.
Likelihood to Recommend
In terms of price, they are unbeatable, however there is much room for improvement regarding stability and reliability.

There han't been a time where Whatfix hasn't been "well suited" or less appropriate for our business. Whatfix has become a integral part of our business and our customer experience, providing access to training materials, integration with our knowledge base, interactive workflows and more. As it is THE tool used for training, onboarding and support thrive with use from Whatfix.
We implemented Whatfix on Salesforce after we rolled it out the previous year. Whatfix provides in-app assistance with detailed, complicated tasks through flows and smart tips. We also use Whatfix to announce updates and upgrades with beacons and pop-ups. Across the company, time spent helping users with Salesforce has decreased, and users are able to help themselves more readily, which helps improve the customer experience we strive to provide.
Pros
The widgets offer many possibilities to help users do their jobs more efficiently and with less stress.
Pricing was straight-forward without all the add-ons competitors would charge.
Most importantly, Whatfix's team members are kind, helpful, hardworking, and innovative! They are always upgrading and improving the tool. They find solutions to problems which would otherwise stress us out! We have never had such a positive vendor relationship!
Cons
Although creating content is easy, it's not always as easy to make it work and appear correctly. (Thank goodness for the excellent Whatfix support team, though!) I just wish it was easier to do everything myself.
Being a bank with stringent security requirements, we struggle with being able to grant system access to the Whatfix team to help us set up new systems and create content. This is not a "con" against Whatfix per sae; it is just a fact that we must work around.
Likelihood to Recommend
Currently, we are only using Whatfix with Salesforce but are in the process of implementing on other systems. It is an excellent tool to organize and provide in-app access to training materials already created. It excels at providing guidance about tasks users don't complete often and, therefore, forget what they were trained about the process. The only sort of system it might not work well is one that provides its own robust in-app assistance. More than one type of tip icon being displayed, for instance, could be confusing.
We initially implemented Whatfix to help reduce the number of support tickets we receive regarding our CRM. We were able to create content in Whatfix for users to answer questions regarding processes, inputting data, viewing reports, etc. One of the main benefits was it provided 24/7 instant support for our users. Next, we introduced Whatfix as part of our new hire training for the CRM. It's been a great way for new hires to learn at their own pace and because of their positive experience during the onboarding period, they are more likely to refer to our Whatfix content before opening a support ticket.
Pros
Account Management teams are customer-focused and always attentive to business needs
Regular feature enhancements
Technical Helpdesk is incredibly fast to resolve open tickets
Cons
Sometimes buggy, but it's quickly resolved when I submit a support ticket
Likelihood to Recommend
Whatfix is a wonderful vendor who is always listening to our needs. They are constantly enhancing the tool with new features to better serve our customers.
We use WhatFix for user adoption in a Contract Lifecycle Management tool at our organization. The tool helps users by providing guidance within the application by way of flows, smart tips etc.
Pros
Support team is very good and knowledgeable
Manages expectations of customers
Constant improvement of product platform
Webinars
Cons
Address other time zones for Webinars
to offer more fonts across the themes
Some themes are centralized and not specific
Likelihood to Recommend
WhatFix is well suited for use cases like change management and user adoption in a less intuitive platform where end-users are not technically savvy. Less appropriate for tools that are already very intuitive
Whatfix supported the digital adoption of our new HR IT system through 'Self-Help' guidance for our office based Colleagues and all Hiring Managers.
Pros
Allows uses to self service help and guidance on common tasks
To add in fast solutions in sticking points in our new HR IT system
Create training content
To communicate to our users about system downtime or new features
Cons
More customisation of elements
Likelihood to Recommend
Whatfix is great for the adoption of new IT systems to users with vastly different levels of IT skills. Whatfix allowed users to self serve their own help queries which saved many hours of support that the users would have needed to use our new HR IT system.
We use Whatfix on our CRM System. So the whole organization can use and have the benefits. We explain not well-known processes, new features, and link[s] to existing information materials.
Pros
Great training sessions
Fast reaction on questions
Close personal contact
Cons
Nice to have: different design options for smart tips (you have to decide for one configuration which is valid for all)
Nice to have: free choice where to show the self help
Nice to have: possibility to save filter, for example in Analytics

Whatfix is used to support digital learning for our CRM tool. The users are mainly active in sales. We mainly relied on the possibilities of Whatfix to control and also inform the users of the tool, especially how to use it. The main tool we have discovered is the "Self Help" with different contents. For further topics, we will also use the "Task List".
Pros
The possibility to explain content in different ways
The handling is very easy
The support is very good
Cons
The possibility to select content/widgets at the time for "push to production" (some we would like to p2p for one single content, that is not possible at the moment).
I wish the filters in the dashboard would stay when you choose a content, currently you have to filter again and again.
In the analytics area, I would like the system to remember this for a certain time window after selecting the start date.
Likelihood to Recommend
For the area of independent learning of topics in a system, Whatfix is best suited, as it offers many possibilities due to the different offers of the presentation.
We are developing this with the support of the personnel development department and it is showing the first positive results and it is showing the first positive results in our sales units.
