What do you like best about Hotjar | by Contentsquare?

The important thing about Hotjar is that you can track and record sessions when potential customers visit my site. The basic feature of providing heat maps is incredibly valuable to understand if users get the right experience from their web pages. It was easy to configure and install, the user interface is excellent and, in reality, provides valuable information beyond the clicks as to what users are doing on their web pages. I have not found any software that provides this level of knowledge and does a great job to understand where the user's attention is and where to improve your marketing / web pages. I love Hotjar for heat maps, user session recordings, analysis of conversion funnels and detailed analysis. This is a great tool to help analytical data come alive with images. You can record sessions and analyze them to make adjustments for future visitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hotjar | by Contentsquare?

They send you an email almost every day asking you to make an update. I appreciate that they offer a variety of solutions at a relatively low price, but regular contact makes it a bit overwhelming. I wish there was a way to make certain heat maps restart automatically, with a new version number added to the title each time. With all the traffic our site receives, I have to go almost every day and restart a series of heat maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hotjar | by Contentsquare:

I always strongly recommend HotJar as the first step in developing any technological stack. It is free, simple to implement and, in general, provides a great perspective on how users navigate your website. On its own, HotJar is quite limited, but as part of a larger data strategy, it fits perfectly. Hotjar is a very useful tool that helps you understand your website visitors and their behavior. With Hotjar you can configure and track heat maps, click maps and displacement maps of any page of your website. In addition, you can configure funnels and see where visitors leave your website and identify problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For our company, it is very important to track and analyze customer feedback. The HotJar application does a good job with the declared functions. With this program you can easily create a needs survey and produce analysis forms. We are getting feedback from our members right after they make a donation to our organization. This is an excellent way for us to know why our members support the organization. It would be very beneficial to be able to attribute them more accurately to individual members in our CRM. We also use it for post-transaction surveys. Creating a quick survey and linking it to a landing page is very quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before using Hotjar, I had no idea how my website visitors were doing. But now the visitor's data is visual.

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

Hotjar has truly revolutionized the way I tackle design problems. It's one thing to suspect a button is in the wrong place, and quite another to witness users repeatedly miss it. It has bridged the gap between guesswork and evidence in my design process.

The platform has particularly excelled in turning abstract user behavior into concrete, actionable insights. This has not only bolstered my design decisions but also provided a strong narrative to present to stakeholders when advocating for user-centric changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
