- 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!
- 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.

- The possibility to explain content in different ways
- The handling is very easy
- The support is very good
- 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.

- Whatfix is a vendor that listens to their client, understands their business challenges, and works with them to achieve their goals.
- Feature enhancements are released every quarter, often with significant functionality improvements.
- The support and engineering teams are outstanding - responsive, helpful and nothing is ever too much trouble. Literally, second-to-none!
- The Dashboard (Administration Console) is sometimes a little clunky in some areas, but nothing causes any significant pain.
- Still, I've been working with Whatfix constantly over the past few years on many platform enhancements to make it a more efficient and effective experience for Content Creators and end-users alike.

They really fix the what in your product
- Customer support
- Take feedback and improve on it.
- They try their best to bring you a solution.
- Design is definitely something they can improve on. The callouts and carousels are a little bit old-school and sometimes this creates a discrepancy with your product's design language.
- They can improve with some functionality, like full-screen carousels for the web. There are points that they cannot accommodate your design and you have to iterate on that.

No/Low Code tool for Customer Service - Whatfix
- There are multiple templates and customization to make the widget consistent with your design.
- The guided popups identify the element very well to ensure they appear at right place and point to correct element.
- The user segmentation feature helps in displaying flows specific to user needs.
- Few advanced functionality like user segmentation etc require help from Whatfix support team. It should be easy to use.
- If we get option to define CSS of the widget, it will blend further better.

- Best-in-class Customer Care. Customer Service and Customer Success are doing an excellent job at helping us [get] the most value out of Whatfix. Personally, I've learned a lot about working with a DAP that goes beyond the current implementation and they are great help in terms of fresh ideas, ways to measure, etc. Very proactive.
- Open platform and API. Whatfix integrates out-of-the-box with common enterprise tools like Confluence and Amplitude. You can even tap their API to pull reports and create static content and delete Whatfix content.
- Continuous feature development and improvements. After using Whatfix for roughly 1½ years, we first-handedly experienced how Whatfix keeps on improving and adding features, making it more and more useful with each iteration.
- Point and click content creation. Creating content is as easy as pointing and clicking inside your own application, or in case of popups, selecting a template and customize it to your needs.
- Advanced customizations. If you "speak" JavaScript, you can customize the experience with Whatfix even further without needing to do changes to your applications code.
- How no-code the experience with Whatfix is really depends on your application. As one of our applications relies on nested iframes, not everything worked out-of-the-box and we had to spend time on debugging and doing advanced customizations. Though the support team at Whatfix has been very helpful in solving these matters, it still made it difficult for us to delegate the work to coworkers with less technical experience.
- Prone to bugs. While no platform is perfect, we unfortunately had some cases where bugs broke popups and guides for our users.
- Look & feel customization can be restrictive and inconsistent. Depending on what kind of content you create, you have more or less options to customize the look and feel of the content. E.g. popups have a dozen of pre-configured templates and the possibility to edit the style based on HTML, CSS, and Javascript (JSX), whereas Task Lists have less options to be configured. Though I was informed that Whatfix will improve this in the near feature.

Whatfix--very capable and flexible
- Customer support is excellent, very responsive, and helpful
- The Whatfix tool is very flexible and can handle many complex scenarios
- The Whatfix tool is continuing to evolve with new features
- Some of our more complex flows required engineering support to build and while we we were successfully able to achieve our objective, it was not 100% clear how it was done.

Customer experience is great
- WhatFix is extremely easy to use.
- Minimum IT team intervention required.
- Customer success manager and support team worked very close.
- There are some features that I expected to be done automatically, and we had to do some manual work to get the right setup regarding our use case, which was to deploy most of our training through Whatfix.

Easy to use, plenty of features, 1st-class support
- Easy to use
- Excellent customer service
- Range of features
- Excellent support documentation
- Highly customizable
- Good reporting capabilities
- Initial integration was very easy
- Preview mode makes testing content very easy
- Our Portal makes use of inner iframes, this can require some debugging on the Whatfix side to get things working correctly.
- Segmentation is not ideal in our case, we have thousands of accounts we would like to segment between that functionality is not built-in.
- Translations are difficult to manage and not possible to automate, manual download and upload of files is required.

- Automatic translation.

A great product with great customer support
- Automated Walkthroughs. The walkthrough engage our users to allow them to quickly navigate and evaluate the system. Our team gets less questions and spends less time onboarding.
- Easy to set up. The simplicity of setting up flows means less time I spend setting things up and managing it so that I can spend more time in our sales process.
- Excellent Customer service. This is a big win as it is great to have a great team behind you. If I have a problem it is resolved quickly and any feedback I submit is listened to and often incorporated into the product.
- Recently, they enhanced the ability to customize the look and feel of their flows. This was the only complaint I had. I let Whatfix know and they developed a solution. There is still no gradients but I can customize everything else.

Turn down the noise!
- Great adaptive skills, the technical team in Whatfix does a great job in catering to all requests of the implementing team.
- The possibility to add information to any field required has been a great help to our users.
- Analytics on the help material usage is very insightful and helps to decide which parts to extend and which to keep as is.
- A sandboxing environment within the Whatfix solution on the client application would be nice. To give users the option to try & test in a sandbox environment without immediately working in their production environment.

Whatfix - What's under the hood? Amazing Software, Extraordinary Customer Service, and Creative and Innovative Employees
- Customer Service is unmatched by any company I have ever had the pleasure of doing business.
- Innovative - They never stop improving and innovating on their product to make it easier for the end user.
- Professional Services Team / GB and TEAM absolutely ROCK!
- The entire Whatfix organization is customer focused and is always thinking of new ways to help us. They just don't allow you to purchase the product and go your own way, they continue to work with you - 2 years and still bi-weekly meetings. AWESOME
- When I first started working with Whatfix, no coding, well that was right but some of their information was written somewhat in code language. That has been evolving and they have an incredible team who has been working on making it read - in plain English as I call it.....Thank you!

Great Product and Fantastic Customer Support
- Smart tips are easy to use and have a high usage rate by our customers.
- Whatfix's customer support team is always responsive.
- Once you understand your own company's software limitations, the process for creating walkthroughs is simple and mostly straightforward.
- The team is always receptive to feedback and suggestions. They've made a lot of improvements and added many new features in the last year.
- At times, Whatfix can be buggy, which has resulted in walkthroughs no longer working, or formatting to change without any changes on our end. This can be frustrating.
