- User Segmentation is amazing, we combine our SFDC data with Pendo's usage data and filters to answer super specific questions like "What C-level executives have used our filtering features in the past 14 days at least 5 times"
- You have full creative control over walkthroughs, tooltips, and surveys and it uses a combination of templates, merge fields, and access to the raw HTML, CSS, and JS to give you complete control.
- Pendo just works, there's seldom a bug we've come across and its user experience is second to none. It's great for both technical and non-technical people alike.
- Pendo's main dashboard section is still pretty static with limited ways to get at specific sets of data to share with other users.
- Checking out an individual user's path through the site is possible in Pendo today, but the view is hard to break down and get actionable insights from.
- Don't tell our Pendo AE this, but this is probably one of the best tooling investments we made, it has provided value in many more areas than the initial use case we bought it for.
- It has highlighted several areas of churn risk or poorly utilized features so we can get ahead of them
I compared WalkMe and Pendo back to back, I found the overall product experience in Pendo to be more modern and user-friendly than WalkMe. It seemed like WalkMe relies very heavily on professional services to get the product rolled out and to do anything complex, while Pendo just gave you the tools and UI to do it yourself (but still offers PS if you want to go that route). Both tools had a lot of feature parity at the time of evaluation, but Pendo's came in at half the price. Pendo's company growth and feature growth have been absolutely insane over the past year, this is important to me.
