What do you like best about the product?

The speed at which you can recruit participants. The participants are generally well trained how to think aloud but I do wonder if they are 'too well trained' and if they are indicative of normal users.

What do you dislike about the product?

The cost associated with the platform and the lack of quant stats. At a cost of $99 per participant it means we can only test low numbers of users which limits any 'data' that can be relied upon.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you have the budget then give it a try, however, if you want to get data from a large number of users and get value for money then there are other tools which will give you the video, plus more, and cost far less than $99 per user.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps to test wireframes and prototypes. By asking participants to complete certain tasks we are able to fairly quickly see how easy they have found it and whether we are on the right track.

What do you like best about the product?

User Testing is one of the BEST ways to garner genuine user feedback. UserTesting provides pools of demographically segmented users for you and your company to test with.

What do you dislike about the product?

The User Testing pools of demographics are based off self-reported data, and a rating system. If the tester is not honest, they're able to take your surveys, and can skew your results. I've run some tests where users have had inappropriate tabs up in the background.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Trying to convince the c-suite or even executive levels of the capability of your designs is difficult enough - but with UserTesting, you're able to PROVE the performance of your designs.

What do you like best about the product?

Tests were easy to set up and customize to my needs, results are fast, interface was easy to learn, and ability to take notes and save clips of user feedback was robust.

What do you dislike about the product?

Some users take the testing more seriously than others.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were in need of a Budget-friendly user testing option that would give us quick and reliable feedback on IAs, wireframes, and designs.

What do you like best about the product?

The addition of Live Conversation at a global level is game changing. UT does a great job vetting users, and being able to quickly connect with them around the globe is invaluable. The speed of video editing and publishing is amazing. Lots of smart support for different levels of users, including non-researchers. Amazing customer service.

What do you dislike about the product?

The users tend to be "A students", and it can be tough to find 'average' users. Will be nice when they can get a short turnaround to getting Diary studies that can ask people to get out and conduct tasks in the outside world

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Everything!

What do you like best about the product?

The organization is great with User Testing- new tests pop up as they become available, and you can quickly figure out which ones you are eligible for. Also, the tests are easy to navigate for the most part, and if something happens in the middle of the test (for example, you figure out you aren't actually qualified), you can exit the test without worrying about getting a bad rating.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes multiple tests appear in the "Available Tests" tab, and they all have the same qualification questions. Unfortunately, you don't know this until you have opened each one separately. It would be nice if it just removed all the tests you didn't qualify for at once.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Fill out your complete profile and don't be discouraged if you don't get any tests for awhile. Be honest when completing the qualification questions- it's only fair to the companies paying for your advice. If at all possible, get signed up for the live conversations over webcam- they are really interesting and we have found some software we have started using through talking with other product managers this way!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a reviewer and a product manager for a website, I am finding out what other sites are doing with faceting, product branding, customization, resource player software, and product tours (specifically). Also, I make some extra money!

What do you like best about the product?

I like that you're able to get great feedback quickly with this tool. This tool allows me to recruit users pretty easily and get quality videos.

What do you dislike about the product?

Some of the features are "business" grade only. I used to use the tool and loved certain features. Unfortunately, those features are now not available in the individual plan. Sort of took me by surprise.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Allow for more features in the individual account. Don't take features away.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

This tool allows you to get quick feedback on digital experiences from users. This helps my company solve basic usability problems with users on our design choices.

What do you like best about the product?

Ability to create highlight reels with notes! It's great that I can watch the video and note sections with comments and easily create high level versions of these videos to present to my team and also to clients. They get a better sense of how users actually interact with the features, which helps my team and clients build more empathy with users.

What do you dislike about the product?

The price is really expensive compare to other remote user test software. There are some really cool features that we can use, but only at the enterprise level, so that could be a turn off to a lot of folks who want something more affordable.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps capture real user insights and creates a short video to provide clients to get a better idea of issues or delights users finds on new features. I also love that it helps keep my notes organized by adding them directly to the context of the video. It would be great if it allows better deliverables to present to client as the results in addition to the highlight videos.

What do you like best about the product?

The steps to create a test are easy and simple to follow. Usually get a response by someone within a few hours.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes people get past the first round of questions which leads to some information not being the best it could be.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving the problems with new designs and making sure the layout of the website is doing what it is intended to do. We are able to test it first and fix problems before something new goes live. We fix problems before so we avoid major problems when it is live.
