Overall Satisfaction with UserTesting

We've been using UserTesting to close the gaps in our understanding of customer behavior - this has been done through usability tests, card sorting, surveys, preference testing, and gathering insights using some of the UserTesting templates. It's always easy to set up a test, and the participant feedback has been excellent. The ability to summarize with AI and create highlight reels has been helpful in sharing our findings with stakeholders and leadership. This year we are looking to expand the scope of what we use UserTesting for beyond digital products and incorporate user research into more areas of our company, which also allow us to stretch ourselves creatively with how we test. Very exciting stuff and thankful to have a solid foundation with UserTesting's tools.
  • Generates insights based on user feedback
  • Flexible templates
  • Ability to customize audience to zero in on relevant users
  • Would like to ability to generate keyword clouds
  • Highlight reels are time consuming to create
  • AI summaries don't always pull relevant feedback
  • Gives us a competitive edge in our industry by increasing our UX maturity
  • Helps put difficult decisions in perspective when pushing new initiatives
Have never had to contact support for UserTesting
It can be a bit cumbersome to add/edit some of the test questions, nothing too egregious but when you're creating lengthy tests it can be difficult to keep track of all the questions. The ability to break the test into sections with dividers might help, just for building the test, not for the actual testing with users.
Being able to quickly collect authentic customer feedback has been a huge help to navigating the decisions we make in our growing business. If we have any questions or doubts about if we're on the right track, we can turn around and run a test and get feedback within a day that validates our ideas or challenges our assumptions.

Would you buy UserTesting again?

Yes

UserTesting is well suited for testing ideas and validating designs - through preference testing we've been able to determine which designs meet customer needs and can be put through development, without wasting time and resources on designs that will fail. We've also used UserTesting card sorting feature to help refine hierarchy for new pages, allowing us to see exactly what customers prioritize when making decisions.
