Overall Satisfaction with UserTesting

UserTesting can be a powerful tool to understand how real people experience my organization's software. Here's how I leverage it within my team. I start by defining clear goals for my user testing session. What specific questions do I have about user behaviour? UserTesting offers its participant pool, or I can recruit my testers based on my target audience. Once participants are selected, I'll create a test scenario with tasks for users to complete while interacting with the interface. The beauty of UserTesting is that it facilitates remote, unmoderated sessions. Users complete the tasks on their own while recording their screen and audio. This allows me to observe genuine user reactions and thought processes without influencing their experience. After the test, UserTesting provides recordings of each participant's session. I can watch them individually or share them with my team. As I analyze the recordings, I pay attention to areas where users struggle or hesitate. This can reveal issues with the interface's usability. UserTesting also offers tools to highlight key moments and create clips for easy reference and discussion with my colleagues. By synthesizing the findings from the user testing sessions, I can identify opportunities to improve the user experience. UserTesting empowers my organization to make data-driven decisions based on real user behaviour.
  • unmoderated sessions
  • highlights of the key moments in the recorded session
  • replacing participants in case of unsuccessful session
  • improve the audience so we can target even more specific groups
  • AI powered analysis of the sessions with data put into affinity diagrams
  • verification of the participants, make sure people pot more or less true data about themselves
  • increased usability rates
  • decreased time on validation of the ideas
  • enhanced UX processes
I always had an amazing interaction with the support team at UserTesting. Every time we would even have sessions scheduled for us to review whether we were happy about the experience. I always had an option to replace participants in case something went wrong with a session. I would rate it 5/5.
It's quite straightforward how to use the platform. It can take a couple of times to get how to set up a test and you will need to play around to find a good audience (with that I'd say it's safer to go for a broader audience if possible). But in general, I never had a problem with the usability of the platform itself.
UserTesting is definitely improving the services and the quality of the delivery. I find that it also gives you some peace of mind that you test the software for potential mistakes. It's also good to be able to get suggestions from users on how they would recommend to improve the overall functionality.

Do you think UserTesting delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with UserTesting's feature set?

Yes

Did UserTesting live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of UserTesting go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy UserTesting again?

Yes

It's the best for A/B tests or tests where you need a broad audience. If you don't need a real niche audience (that you should recruit then rather yourself), then you can rely on UserTesting. It's good because it's so quick, almost instant, it takes about 10 minutes on average before I can start reviewing and documenting sessions.
