What do you like best about the product?

I like how easy it is to make comments that align with the video time stamp. In addition, hightlight reels are invaluable for sharing with upper management.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes the clip length is pre-determined and is too long, I then need to go back and adjust it which then requires me to watch the clip a few times to make sure I have the right timestamp. I also feel like screener questions don't always work well, since there is a big incentive to take a test from the users perspective, they may fudge their answers in the screener. This may just be more diligence on our side to make sure we have the right information.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Try it out - all you need to do is run one test to see the full benefits of it. It sells itself really.

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

We want to take new pages and products to market, but need to know how the general public will react - that's at a high level. On a more granular level, we are looking to see if people notice, and then think about using some of the features we want to invest time in. We've been surprised more often than not with how people either don't see something we thought was obvious, or find a round about way of achieving a task we set. We use Hotjar as a recording tool for our live environment, and while we can see people struggle with our live site, we need UserTesting to help fill in the gaps and hear how people might struggle and what they expect should happen. So while we have other "recording tools", UserTesting allows us that direct connection and conversation with customers.

What do you like best about the product?

UserTesting is great at getting your team quick insights into your product. It excels at a fast turnaround, often times within the same day. This is great when you need to get some simple usability feedback on a prototype or on a live product.

What do you dislike about the product?

UserTesting is not always great for more in depth studies. It depends on the type of insights you are looking for. I also think that the participants in their panel tend to skew more tech savvy than the general population. If I want a more representative sample of the general population, I may go for other methods of sourcing research participants.

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

My team supports our company's Incubator. We move really fast and need to get quick feedback on our new product ideas. UserTesting has been very effective at allowing us to get quick usability feedback. We also use the Live Conversations tool when we run our design sprint kickoff so we can quickly interview participants that fit our target persona.

Understanding the ease of the website and how outside viewers would be able to navigate the website. We were able to reorganize and create new paths because of the feedback.

What do you like best about the product?

The customer service is prompt and very helpful. I have always had any issues resolved quickly and professionally. I can get stressed out with deadlines and not being the most tech savvy person out there, so I got lots of questions. I appreciate customer support's positive attitude with me, no matter how surly I can get (even when I try not to! Nobody's perfect...). There platform is easy to use (or figure out how to use with live customer support in a chat pop-up) in terms of launching a test, moderated or unmoderated. I also appreciate the ability to make a video reel quickly and put together video highlights from multiple research sessions on a particularly theme. There is a good way to catalogue insights by theme that I have used often. The video clips really make my presentations come to life.

What do you dislike about the product?

There was a learning curve for me. But there always is for me with any software. Learning this platform is worth the investment in time. It is a one-stop shop. I guess that is not a "dislike"... I really can't think of anything at this point. I have been using the platform for 2 years through my company, as part of the Strategic Insights department.

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

I am better understanding are three different user groups/potential customers and getting good insights into the digital expectations of the current online customer in 2020.
