Overall Satisfaction with Hotjar

We use Hotjar for analyzing both landing pages we need to test for different campaigns, and also for the rest of the website for ongoing measurements. Also, we use the recordings tool to analyze individual behaviors to see if there are any particular roadblocks. And when we need to conduct a quantitative survey we also use the survey tool.
  • Very easy heat maps setup
  • Great for running quantitative surveys
  • Combined with individual recording of website visits
  • Pricing model is a bit of a hassle
  • Would like to see more integrations to have a really complex look at the data
  • There used to be more free features as for some small projects you did not need the paid plan in the past...
  • Surveys
  • Recordings
  • Heat maps
  • Scroll maps
  • Pretesting landing pages for performance campaigns had a huge effect on the conversion rates
  • Collecting data about beta testing some features for product teams
  • Proving to some clients with hard data, that some important elements need to be on a specific part of the page
I liked the Hotjar User interface a little more and it seemed a little bit easier to set up. For some users with just the basic needs smart look was overly complicated. whereas in Hotjar everything you need is in one simple easy-to-view dashboard. Also, it offered more free tools/visits and sessions.

I love the easy setup via a tag manager. Even some not really tech-oriented people in my company had almost no problem setting it up. Which is a great use for SMB clients/companies that just need some basic measurements to see where they are at. You can have it easily set up on your website and start collecting data within an hour.
