- Empowers our customer success and product teams to solve problems for our customers without needing engineering support

What do you dislike about Chameleon?

Nothing I dislike about the product, but every product has opportunities for improvement. Some enhancements that would help us are:

- being able to trigger experiences based on multiple UI items being present/absent

- tooltips that can be assigned to segments (you can almost replicate tooltips with tours, but it would be easier if we could restrict access to tooltips directly) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chameleon solving and how is that benefiting you?

- using Chameleon to create an onboarding flow for new users to reduce time spent in live trainings and make the live trainings more effective

- using Chameleon to provide easier & in-context access to documentation and guidance to help drive better adoption

- using Chameleon to survey users during the onboarding process to identify those that need more attention from our customer success team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chameleon?

I really appreciate the depth Chameleon offers from a product adoption standpoint. There are many capabilities that allow you to create pretty much native level looking experiences and additionally there are many intriguing features such as Interactive Demos or HelpBar that enable us to going one step above the regular customer engagement. Overall, creating common flows is very playful and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chameleon?

This might be due to our complexities and the way our product is designed but we have encountered situations where we had to be discovering occasional workarounds to be able to display experiences for our users the way we intended. On the other hand, the level of support we have been getting has been top notch from day 1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chameleon solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Chameleon extensively to drive overal product adoption and collect user feedback. Additionally we rely heavily on Chameleon to drive conversions from free to paid plans Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chameleon?

Chameleon stands out from competitor with its clean and easy to use interface. We tried out a competitor but ultimately went with Chameleon due to its ease of use and more competitive price point. I like the way that it looks when it overlays on or website and how we can adjust without much trouble. The tooltips, tours and surveys are very helpful for us, and for our customers. I like that they're trying to incorporate AI into their tools - this is really important to us. It was really easy to integrate into our site, it took one of our devs a couple of hours and since then, we haven't had to use dev help at all to make the tool work, which is super helpful.

Update: after using Chameleon for more than a year, it continues to be helpful and an important part of our user experience. It is so nice to have a streamlined way to share new content and features with our users through tooltips, tours and announcements...but also to have our ongoing launcher where we can have on demand training and FAQs. We're excited to continue using this and improving our user experience and overall engagement with our product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chameleon?

Sometimes the editor isn't quite as intuitive as I wish it was, but once I've gone through and done it a few times, it gets easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chameleon solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a lot of users from various places around the world and using something like Chameleon for easy self serve adoption is realy important to us. Instead of us having to do a lot of virtual training - our ultimate goal with Chameleon is for a seamless start for users to get started right away without having to wait for a training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sonia Schiau of Chameleon

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Chameleon! We're happy that you find our interface easy to use and happy to hear about your quick implementation. It's so great to hear that Chameleon has facilitated self-serve adoption and engagement with your global user base!

We understand the importance of an intuitive editor and we continuously work to enhance our Builder and its capabilities!

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Chameleon?

As somebody continually exposed to new platforms and applications, it's rare to find one that's so quick to get up and running with, and where you can find pretty much everything you want without even having to refer to the documentation. Chameleon was this simple - within minutes it was possible to get to grips with all of the key basics, and every time I found myself thinking "I wonder if I can tweak this thing" - then lo and behold, yes you could! We haven't even begun to scratch the surface of what it can do (I'm looking forward to playing with Launchers) but already it's allowing us to dramatically improve the quality of in-platform help in our applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chameleon?

The only real annoyance with Chameleon - and something that's probably unavoidable - is the fact that sometimes the builder panels open in the "wrong" place. Maybe there could be an option to "dock" them on one side of the screen, like browser dev tools? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chameleon solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're using Chameleon to (a) give new users a gentle introduction to our products and (b) to demonstrate how to use new product features. In the fullness of time, we'll probably expand this to provide full self-service onboarding for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chameleon?

I love the integrations in Chameleon. It's great being able to really customize a user segment in Heap, and then pull the segment into Chameleon to use as a targeted segment for a tour. It really expands the power of Chameleon and hones my ability to target just the right user.

I also like the pre-configured quick buttons in the builder, like the automatic progress tracker and the delight animation. I also like the banner option where I can add an announcement at the top of the browser, and it moves the browser contents down rather than covering them.

Also, my experience with the support team was really great. We recently had an issue that we had screen shots of, but couldn't replicate. Max on Chameleon's support team did some impressive research and figured out what went wrong. I have had nothing but great experiences with Chameleon's support team. The set the bar very high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chameleon?

I wish that I had a little more freedom to arrange elements horizontally within a guide. Sometimes it's ideal to have an image aligned next to some copy instead of above or below the copy. I'd also love to be able to adjust alignment and other design elements without having to use CSS; however, it's still doable with CSS, which is the most important thing for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chameleon solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Chameleon to quickly communicate product changes to customers, as well as help them quickly find KB articles and other helpful information to fast-track onboarding and product education. We find it's more effective than email and ensures that our customers receive important notifications about new features, upcoming maintenance, etc., that may affect them. They're also more likely to become successful using the product, which greatly improves a customer's time to value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use and customization is key for us! Its our immediate go-to tool for getting announcements and information to our customers.

I can't think of anything! The Chameleon team keeps us informed of feature updates and future developments which is greatly appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chameleon?

Our organization loves using Chameleon to connect with our digital community. We use it to build onboarding tours, announce events, and publish new content partner announcements. The ease of use and implementation have allowed us to build tours, banners, and pop-up announcements consistently. Whenever we meet with our dedicated customer support team member, our questions are always answered and we walk away feeling confident and supported. They are always there to brainstorm with us for best use cases. Chameleon easily integrates with our product and our technical questions are always answered. We go into our dashboard weekly to monitor engagement and find the data to be easy to understand and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chameleon?

The only challenge we have is that there is part of our product that doesn't integrate with Chameleon so we lose a segment of our audience. However, the customer support and product teams are eager to continue working on a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chameleon solving and how is that benefiting you?

With rapid user growth and a limited internal team, we use Chameleon to automate our onboarding in a very customizable and connected way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chameleon?

As a leader from a CS background and minimal knowledge of HTML, CSS, etc... I find Chameleon to be very no-code / low-code so far for my needs. I know there are more advanced use cases I may need that for but honestly it's all pretty intuitive. The ability to clone tours is super helpful and I find the integration from Amplitude and SFDC to give me the right data to form segments. My absolute favorite part is working with our CSM, Andrew. Since my first day joining my new role I've seen him as a true partner in helping me achieve success. Digital CS is a new role at our company and the ability to move quickly and have a true partner supporting me as has been invaluable. I also really am excited to try out Embeddables in our product.

sometimes it feels a bit buggy and have had engineering ticket open for a while but just more of an inconvenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chameleon?

The Chamelon team stands out above the rest. Our CSM, Andrew, has been an awesome resoruce for us and is very receptive to feedback. They truly care and its evident in all our interactions. I also have great respect for the way in which their CEO, Pulkit, is building a community around their product and bringing leaders together to share and ideate.

Chameleon also takes data security very seriously and shows that via their pursuit of SOC 2 and continuous compliance monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chameleon?

Chameleon was very simple to set up -- it just worked auto-magically out of the box with a few lines of code. The builder experience was very intutitive as well compared to a lot of other similar platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chameleon?

There is not a lot of analytics inbuilt -- so you have to use an outside platform. This, however, lets you integrate analytics with your own paltform, so can be a good thing depending on how you look at it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chameleon solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using it to show app tours to first-time users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chameleon?

Chameleon was straightforward to set up and has been a hassle-free experience for our team. With little training, we were confident in creating, publishing, testing, and measuring new customer experiences. The out-of-the-box analytics, testing, and AI features have impressed us too. Within the first two weeks of launching our first Chameleon experiences, we saw significant adoption gains on a new user offering. We're excited to continue to experiment and see what additional value we can get.

Finally, Nuno Morais, our Success Manager has been exceptional. The level of support, best practices, and expertise provided is a game changer. A joy true joy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chameleon?

So far, nothing has stuck out to me as a "dislike". The one "issue" we had revolved around an integration setting related to PII data and my success manager took our feedback in earnest. Even following up without me inquiring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chameleon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allows our growth and product teams to create, test, and measure meaningful user experiences without requiring engineering. The speed and flexibility of Chameleon has already assisted us in boosting new feature adoption, announce site maintenance, and gather actionable satisfaction data from our users.
