What do you like best about Inline Manual?

By far the best part about inline manual is the ease of setting up tutorials. If you'd like to set up a quick walk through, in a few clicks you are done.

Inline Manual also offers extreme flexibly without overcomplicating the user interface - I've never not being able to set up a workflow, no matter how complex it is.

When we first set up Inline Manual, Marek the CEO worked hand in hand to help us get set up. I could see that he was really committed to the success of his product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inline Manual?

I haven't come across anything I dislike about Inline Manual, however, we are not power users. We have a few tutorials that we edit infrequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inline Manual solving and how is that benefiting you?

For users that have questions, knowledge bases and in-app support are great, but don't satisfy our users desire for answers right here right now. Inline Manual offers users answers at their fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Inline Manual?

Affordable pricing for deep functionality. I reviewed 31 products in a spreadsheet comparing pricing and features. I did a deep dive evaluation of about five. These products are so expensive for a small SaaS company like mine but Inline Manual is affordable while still enabling me to provide segmented tours, videos, interactive tutorials, announcements, and help articles inside our app... with our branding. We've moved all help content in-app with Inline Manual. I really like the ability to segment and tag users to move them through onboarding based upon their phase. We have created three Getting Started Checklist paths: Evaluator, New Firm Setup, New Firm Member for Existing Firm. They also have great support.

Here's a video showing our users around the content available: https://vimeo.com/556664637

If you'd like to see it in action you may sign up for a free trial: https://www.divorcehelp123.com/trial. If you do, please give your Firm Name as something obvious to let our team know that you aren't a real prospect. We'd appreciate your feedback to help us improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inline Manual?

We've completed our first couple of releases with over 100 topics so we naturally have a list of feature requests. The top feature we are missing:

1. While we can use People Segmentation to determine whether a topic shows or not, we cannot use it to direct an Action for a Next Step or Topic. This means we have to duplicate and maintain several of the same topics for each of our onboarding paths.

That being said Inline Manual a small, scrappy team who have gone out of their way to help us build and release valuable and visually appealing content that align with our branding.

Overall we give Inline Manual the highest rating and recommend it. Their team is very motivated to provide a valuable service to their customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inline Manual solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Trial users need to be shown around the solution in order to evaluate it. Live demos are costly for our small team, and many evaluators don't reach out for a live demo so they drop off without subscribing. We released only a couple of weeks ago but I already saw a new trial complete the whole Evaluator path through to subscribing without one touch from our staff.

2. New Firm Setup & starting to use it. Our solution is very sticky once they start using it, but getting them to start is a challenge. Their business is built upon billable hours so investing time to implement a new process is a challenge. Again, our staff is available to help, but most of our prospects want to get it done when they are ready rather than scheduling an appointment, and even after setup and training they might need a bit more hand-holding. We are still early in the launch of the In-App onboarding content to see the benefits, but the content is available and easy to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Inline Manual?

Inline Manual is a powerful tool that makes it quick and easy for anyone on the team (regardless of technical ability) to create, customise and effectively target in-app content for user onboarding/support, engagement and research, as well as announce new features and help users adopt them.

On top of it all, they deliver truly exceptional support - consistently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inline Manual?

The more in-depth installation for single-page applications.

The mobile options are good but could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Inline Manual:

Just pick Inline Manual - you won't regret it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inline Manual solving and how is that benefiting you?

The tool has reduced the strain on our Dev team by allowing us to add tooltips or messaging when we don't have the resources to address a pain point or issue in the platform right away.

It's reduced strain on our CX team by helping users onboard themselves, by prompting upsell opportunities automatically, and by connecting customer feedback directly with Product.

It enables our Product team to extract more user insights with the Feedback and analytics features too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Inline Manual?

Very customizable tool, easy to integrate within our product. The multi-lingual support is also a huge benefit that saved us a lot of time. The support center is also great, with detailed articles and screenshots that are extremely helpful, especially for less technologically-inclined team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inline Manual?

The main thing missing from this tool is the ability to customize our user data analytics. We can only set a certain number of user attributes that can be used to target or segment users, but we would like to have the ability to add more custom attributes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Inline Manual:

Don't be rebutted by the bland appearance of the site. This tool is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inline Manual solving and how is that benefiting you?

Inline Manual allows us to show interactive tutorials directly into our app. It is not the prettiest tool, and the learning curve can be steep if you are not familiar with HTML/CSS, but the spport ressources are very detailed and helpful. Once you know how to use the tool, there is no limit to what you can do. You can adapt everything to your own brand look, whether it's colors, fonts, buttons, images etc. Other tools were not very adaptable and did not fit our needs.

What do you like best about Inline Manual?

That I can create and modify content no matter the time and with no need a deploy of my application. Also like the version control of each topic, so I can use a different version in each stage of develop: test site, QAS site and production site. I like that I can manage the look and feel of the content, because all the different posibilites whit so many options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inline Manual?

In the web version, it is difficult to find a topic and only shows 10 topics and only shows about 10 topics for page. And, we had to make a special implementation because our app is single page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inline Manual solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our app is from business, so we can provide help and knowledge for the user with no need to leave our app or have to find the topic in a bunch of information. We want that our users to be independent and be able to use our app without special training, so they can use it inmediatly. Our user find very helpful the step by step tutorials, cause the can learn wile they enter their data (at the same time). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Inline Manual?

Good support

Price is reasonable given the many complex options.

Inline Manual allows for a large amount of customization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inline Manual?

The backend feels slow - it's hard to QA iterative design of tutorials because it feels like I need 15 minutes to make sure I'm seen the most up to date results.

Default design is kind of bare bones - although they appear to be working on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Inline Manual:

Be reasonable in your expectations. If your product is complex, a guided tour isn't going to make it less so.

When evaluating the product, have a clear goal and process you want to illustrate with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inline Manual solving and how is that benefiting you?

While originally acquired to provide our users with tutorials and guided tours, we encountered many issues. The are more related to the complexity of our product and internal disagreement on the nature of tutorials than the tool itself, in my mind.

We have since pivoted to use the tool to provide messages to our SaaS users, announcing new features, a customer survey, etc. This allows our front-end developers to focus on improving the tool further rather than creating throw-away messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Inline Manual?

Inline Manual removed the need for a developer to create walkthroughs for the different features on our site, freeing up their time to do what they do best - build. It allowed me, a non-technical person, to embed my instructions throughout the site so I could better scale and use the personal touch only when it was needed.

The authoring tool is very simple to understand and use and has empowered our team to create more helpful documentation within the site without needing new pages.

It also provides an easy way to make site announcements without involving a developer.

The customization levels are excellent and we are able to edit the tools to match our style. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inline Manual?

While Inline Manual is simple to use, we have an '&' in some of our site page urls that is not handled by the page filter, so it limits the effectiveness of the on-page help button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inline Manual solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have seen a decreased volume in support requests since implementing Inline Manual and a decreased time for onboarding, since part of it has been offloaded to Inline Manual.

Monthly announcements have enabled consistent communication with our users without having to flood their inboxes with emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
