What do you like best about Lou by Totango?

It is extremely easy to use, with the chrome extension is just a matter of clicking on the step you want to explain, writing the instruction and that's it! I like the fact that you can simulate it straight away and define the audience to show this to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lou by Totango?

I didn't like that they didn't have checklists, but now they do! The only important feature missing is the mobile compatibility, but that is also in the works. Besides that, maybe adding more integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lou by Totango solving and how is that benefiting you?

I develop websites for clients, this helps the onboarding process to explain to them how the backend works, and where are the features/options that they'll most need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lou by Totango?

I love that Lou works as a chrome extension, so I'm able to build right over my website. It sets up instantly. I was able to get a tip set up and live in the first 15 minutes of use - and that included me watching a video showing me how to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lou by Totango?

It doesn't seem to work on my phone - at least testing the hot spot feature, I wasn't able to use it there. I've seen another person say they had trouble with this also. That said, it's a very minor drawback and it's possible I'm doing something wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lou by Totango solving and how is that benefiting you?

I will be using Lou to help onboard students to an online course I created. Right now - after my 15 minute setup - I'm using it to highlight an ability students already have to reset their course progress within the platform, which is pretty neat! Anything that has an html editor seems to let you drop Lou in. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lou by Totango?

I was looking for a product to help users to understand more easily how to use my platform. Lou is doing exactly that with a no-code solution. It allows creating flows and pop-ups allowing users to understand exactly what your product is about. You just have to insert a basic code in the head of your website (it takes 1 min max) and you are set (just pay attention not to test as I did in Incognito mode, as it doesn't work there).

There is a number of different options to customize the pop-ups and flows, which makes the onboarding very professional.

Overall I am impressed and would definitely recommend Lou. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lou by Totango?

I haven't found anything I didn't like at the moment. I would just recommend to clarify you cannot test the product in Incognito mode (which makes sense but I have lost quite some time since I didn't know that). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lou by Totango solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping users to understand immediately what my product is about and decrease customer support tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is a bit out of our budget, unfortunately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lou by Totango?

I tried LOU and was able to set up our product tour in no time! Super impressed by the short setup time and ease of integration. The process of building your product tour with LOU is very straightforward and includes many useful templates.

Incredibly impressed by LOU and would highly recommend any company to use it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lou by Totango?

Saving tour steps sometimes didn't work correctly (for example, when adding emojies in the titles) and other minor tolerable bugs are noticible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
