Best Product for Analyzing User Interactions

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Hotjar from other similar products?

Hotjars technology to easily record user sessions and provide amazing reports such as the heat map is what sets it apart from other products. The heat map report is amazing and worth the cost of the product by itself!

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Hotjar makes it easy to record user interactions with your website. We record every new page and immediately get quality recordings. These recordings are invaluable for studying how our users are actually using our product. These recordings give us quick insights we can use to iterate on our product. I believe Hotjar isn't the only tool to offer this functionality, but it's one of the most well-rounded and cost-effective tools for this job.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Setup and implementation could be easier, especially for people that aren't as technology inclined like myself. If took us a few weeks to get the product up and running, and sometimes if there are issues I have to call for help from an engineer. I wish it were a bit easier to setup.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend that you regularly use Hotjar to keep up with all the product enhancements and updates. If you take too much time without using the product it can be a bit overwhelming to come back to.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
