Overall Satisfaction with Smartlook

We use Smartlook for several of our projects as a solution to record the behavior of users on our websites.
It's a really good solution for:
- Recording video of the visit.
- Building click maps and heatmaps of the pages.
- Building sales funnels based on events that were triggered on the website.
- Make custom filters for the videos based on events, so you can segment videos you really need to watch.
  • Recording video of the user's visits to a project website.
  • Creating a heat map and click map for selected page on website.
  • Creating custom events that allows to filter videos and watch only very important visits.
  • Building sales funnels and track conversion and drops on every step.
  • Providing analytics and custom reports to analyze visits.
  • A trial version is available.
  • No integration with Google Tag Manager to automatically implement custom events.
  • No examples for code integration.
  • No ready integration with CRM systems, you should build your own integration.
  • We found a lot of technical errors on our website (Javascript errors) and increased our conversion rate from 3% to 5% from a single page.
  • We tracked how our users interact with the website and found a lot of weak spots, this improved user experience in general.
  • We found several webpages that weren't correctly showing on small screens and as a result, now we have conversions from those pages.
Smartlook is a simple and powerful solution to solve the task of recording visits and it's doing well with this task. This service has a trial version and free package so you can deeply test if it fits your business before buying a subscription. In general, the most powerful function for our company is to filter records using custom events, it's really useful.

Smartlook is a good solution for a recording the behavior of users for small and mid-size web projects (also this service can record videos for the apps, but we haven't used this). It's really great for:
  • Tracking your user's behavior and record videos based on your custom events (add to cart, button clicks, add to wishlist, etc).
  • Analyzing on what elements your users click most.
  • For small projects, you have a free plan to record 1500 visits per month.
  • Getting a detailed report of device, platform, UTM tags of the selected visit to have analytics what devices your clients are using.
