Overall Satisfaction with Storylane

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I basically use Storylane to create product demo tours for the Sales team and the website's product pages. Earlier, we used to have videos for showcasing the features, but they had no interactivity and lacked the actual feel of the product. Storylane helped us to create demo tours which made the users feel like the they are actually using the product.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Showcase the real feel of the SaaS product to the viewers
Viewers find it easy to relate to their actual use
Easy for creators to build demos
Add custom messages

Cons

There should be more room for creativity
Extension can be improved
More options for the progress bar

Return on Investment

ROI has slightly decreased because it's a paid tool.
User engagement has increased
Demo request booking has increased.

Usability

It is fairly easy to use the Product demo builder. There's nothing complex on the platform. I feel like there's so much room to add complexity to the product, as it's too easy to use at the moment. More functionalities bring more complexity. So, currently, I would say Storylane is pretty easy to use without any prior training.

Alternatives Considered

Arcade, Navattic, HowdyGo and Walnut

I felt Storylane was the easiest to learn and the most value for money among the other tools that I evaluated. Some of the tools are 10 times more expensive than Storylane and basically do the same thing. Storylane solved my purpose at a lower cost so I chose it.

Likelihood to Recommend

Storylane is the best platform for creating SaaS product tours to explain the functionality of your product. You can create multiple demos and replace the static non-interactive videos with demos created using Storylane. If there isn't anything functional in the product, consider using videos instead of a demo tour. Also, you can consider videos when visual appeal is a bigger factor than functionality explanation.
