What do you like best about Hotjar | by Contentsquare?

There is a versatile suite of tools included. Between heatmapping, session replay, and feedback surveys, and general surveys, HotJar can fill multiple gaps in your website's ongoing optimization strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hotjar | by Contentsquare?

I preferred when their session capture was manual instead of automatic and continuous, because there was less data sampling. HotJar is following the business and pricing model of other similar tools, which allows better for ongoing optimization, but makes the free version more and more useless by the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hotjar | by Contentsquare solving and how is that benefiting you?

HotJar provides ongoing website usage data for continuous optimization of our processes. In addition to monitoring sessions and providing data, we can directly engage with users while they are in context of how they would use the site in order to better gather feedback as well.

What do you like best about Hotjar | by Contentsquare?

Hotjar is for you if you have your own E-Commerce store. Installation is a breeze & Hotjar has a simple dashboard. You can see all your critical metrics like - Top pages on your website, total sessions, average session duration, bounce rate, graphs for rage clicks & u-turns, top countries, devices and operating systems that your website has been getting responses from. You can view your users' session recordings and analyze heatmaps to know which elements have been getting the most clicks, rage clicks or dead clicks. All this is done (session recording, heatmaps) while keeping privacy policies in mind. It will analyze the behavior of your traffic using these different tools and give you unique and meaningful insights as to what the audience wants. You can then make necessary changes that will increase your conversion rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hotjar | by Contentsquare?

If you have a big eCommerce business with thousands of visitors a day, you will have to buy one of their business plans which will record a huge number of daily sessions. These business plans can go upwards of $1000/month & are quite expensive compared to some of their alternatives like HumCommerce or Kissmetrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hotjar | by Contentsquare:

If you have a booming online business, you should use Hotjar as it helps you narrow down on your customer needs by understanding their behavior and what they want when they land on your website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hotjar | by Contentsquare solving and how is that benefiting you?

If you have an online business with an eCommerce store and you get a lot of daily visitors but your conversion rates are low, Hotjar can help you identify, analyze and fix problems on your website. This will in turn help you boost conversion rates by understanding the behavior of your visitors and giving them more of what they want. We had a SaaS product which we used Hotjar for. It helped us identify reasons people were not clicking on our desired Call to Action or why people were not being led to the conversion action. We identified a lot of sections on the website which had dead/rage clicks. So we added information on those sections/made them clickable. We used heat maps/scroll maps to identify the most engaging parts of the blogs we were writing. We could identify the source of traffic and so much more with Hotjar.

What do you like best about Hotjar | by Contentsquare?

Session recording is awesome and gives great insight into where your customers are struggling with visibility of u turns and rage clicks. It is really easy to implement, set and fine tune. The only other competitor product I have used is lucky orange and that was horrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hotjar | by Contentsquare?

I dislike the new pricing model and the separation of the various analytics across observe, ask etc. They are all important for product analytics. It would have been much better to keep an option for bundled deals. I am currently reviewing options at my new company and considering not implementing hotjar due the change in their pricing model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hotjar | by Contentsquare?

I like the fact that hotjar gives me clear visual data points about what's happening when my users are on my website. I also like the heatmaps that they have which helps me analyse which parts of the screen are my users going to the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hotjar | by Contentsquare?

The only thing I don't like about Hotjar is when I was using this tool between 2018-2021, they didn't offer user sessions recordings for mobile apps. Since my product offering was omnichannel and even the users would transition/keep traversing between the website and the app, it was hard to follow the whole journey which made it very difficult to get all the user data at a single place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hotjar | by Contentsquare solving and how is that benefiting you?

My organisation uses Hotjar for session recordings, heatmaps and creating user surveys for all our websites. Since we had an SSO for our suite of products, it was nice to use Hotjar and see at what points users were hopping between various products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
