Overall Satisfaction with Hotjar

We use Hotjar to analyze the performance of our website. We use the clickmaps and scrollmaps to understand whether our layout is intuitive and easy to navigate and to see if the most important parts of the website are being seen or interacted with by visitors. It's also easy to find metrics like bounce rates which aren't easily found in Google Analytics

Pros

  • Easy to use. The platform is intuitive and you can easily set it up
  • Easy to understand analytics. The metrics aren't hidden under layers of menus, you can easily find what you need
  • Sessions recordings. It's great to see session recordings in detail, and I also love the timestamps on the session timeline

Cons

  • Some use cases are not obvious like why you would "save" recordings or heatmaps
  • The automatic screenshots are not always accurate
  • Would like if they had more guidance/ resources for how to make the best of the platform
  • Reduced bounce rates on website
  • Increased user experience on our website
  • Optimised website conversions
In my opinion, Hotjar is much easier to set up and use than Microsoft Clarity

Hotjar is amazing for analyzing the user experience on websites. I recommend it for people who want to make sure their website is optimised for whatever goals they have, be it conversions or consumption. Based on Hotjar analytics, you can easily make decisions on how to best optimise any page on the site.
