Support Rating

10

When we [have] some questions, my colleague can always reach them without any problems. So far, everything worked awesome. With the emails we get, you can see that they are well organized, and their support is on point. I can't really describe what happens if something stops working because it never happened yet.

Usability

9

We have a few filters where we can look at the top errors that the users get or where they rage click the most. Within these filters, there are user recordings where you can see each and every user within that segment. That is pretty cool. Smartlook provides a lot of information about the user, so it makes it easy to get everything set up.

Alternatives Considered

Hotjar

Overall, Smartlook has way more functions, it is a bit cheaper, and all the little things like user experience, designs, and flow of the page are way better. There are a lot more options so you can make the best possible page for users when they come to our site.

Likelihood to Recommend

We used a few sites that are like Smartlook, but I'm positive that they are in front of their competitors. Really nice user experience and design. The page is user-friendly and easy to navigate. So far, no problems accrued with Smartlook. A cool feature is where you have active sessions of users, which comes in handy when you deploy a new version. You can see if everything is working for the users.

Key Differentiators

Price
Product Features
Product Usability

I don't believe in product reputation because the most important thing is product features and usability. Get that [at] a good price, and you get Smartlook.
