Pendo is used to understand user behaviors, flows through the application, and other attributes like browser and retention.

Highly-visible account and page segmentation make it easy to really identify gaps and trends.

Pendo is more visual and offers better native user tracking, without the need to be a data scientist or master the tool. It plugs into your existing software and lets you overlay surveys, NPS, click, page, or even flow tracking with any developer interaction. Like others, Pendo can be deployed with Segment to reduce installation complexity.

A highly-visual analytics tool (versus one more rooted in raw data)
We would implement more criteria around visual support and installation steps. Our criteria would need to include more support for how the product is actually installed and used, its applicability to single page applications, and its support for native workflows. While many of these were supported out of the box, it was important to know during the sales process.
