What do you like best about Lou by Totango?

I like how it offers multiple tools for onboarding and not just 1 or 2. There are tool tips, flows, modal and many more. The interface is easy to understand and therefore the learning curve is less, which makes it super productive and quick to implement. The other thing I like is the customisation options, where the tooltip should appear to colors, rounded corners, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lou by Totango?

The only customisation I dont like is the button customisation, it would be great if we can change the location of the call to action within a popup etc. Other than that there is nothing I don't dislike about it as of now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lou by Totango?

LOU is a very useful and easy-to-use tool to add tooltips and product tours to your website or app. For our SAAS tool, we were looking for exactly this, as we wanted to provide guided assistance for our new users to help them get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lou by Totango?

The basics are awesome, the only thing for improvement I can think of right now is: more integrations. E.g. Pipedrive, Webhook (for Zapier, Integromat, Pabbly Connect and more) and Encharge.io. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

LOU helps us helping our users to understand our SAAS app better and quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lou by Totango?

Lou is absolutely a powerful software for user onboarding. If you run a SaaS it is a must to guide your users on how to use your software and this is where Lou comes in. Is you personally recommend Lou due to their slick widget UI for your user onboarding process. Support is great as well as I have not encountered any incident of Support not getting back to me for my questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lou by Totango?

The backend user interface where we would create the onboarding widgets would need some more improvements in my opinon. Granted the end production of widgets where its customer facing is very well done, a better working UI would indeed make this software a whole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I own a SaaS and a marketplace platform. I would say that Lou successfully solves both my software problems for vendors and users as well in terms of guidance on how to navigate around my websites and also where are impotant USP functions are within my softwares user dashboard.

What do you like best about Lou by Totango?

I like the beautiful templates they have already, I'm not a very good designer so being able to edit expert made templates made me much more confident! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lou by Totango?

Nothing that I dislike in particular, I do wish you could connect multiple websites/projects to one account instead of creating a new account for each project I'm working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lou by Totango:

If you are looking for an amazing on boarding process I definitely recommend using LOU, I think they are essential for Saas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problems I am solving with LOU are creating awareness around the new physical events we are throwing. I have a nice pop-up pointing to the events tab and informing new website visitors about our upcoming event! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lou by Totango?

Lou allows me to create live tours, announcements and more on my website with the click of a button. It's really very easy because I'm a total code noob. Thanks to Loom's Chrome extension, I can click anywhere on my website to add a step to my tour. This makes onboarding really fun and my users are doing very well with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lou by Totango?

The only point of criticism is the editor. It is still a bit buggy and it is a bit tricky to adjust the fonts. But all in all, there is nothing to criticize on my part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Lou to give my new users a quick onboarding tour to familiarize them with the basics of their dashboard. This saves me from having to make elaborate explainer videos, and I can change the content at any time if necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am solving one of my biggest painpoints - a reasonably priced web tour product with good functionality. I found that with Lou! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lou by Totango?

I felt a bit surprised when I was asked to install Chrome extension for Lou. But it seems to make everything very much simple. I only expected site guidance when having Lou, but then I was amazed by the functions (or in fact called "Experiences") that Lou offered. From tooltips, hotspots, product tour, Onboarding, announcement, the interface is extremely simple and effective - I can design and format (with color, branding, images etc.) the messages / hotspots / tooltips in whatever way I need.

The "Builder" that Lou offered worked effectively for each function. It is very intuitive, with all the steps, guidance etc necessary to complete in just minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lou by Totango?

Lou then require installation of some code snippets on the "Head" of the site, and some other codes for segmenting visitors.

For those who are not familiar with code snippets installation, this may represent a challenge. I can complete with ease, but it does not mean that it is for everyone. But I believe in case of difficulties, support team by Lou would be able to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have thought that it would be difficult to set up a sophisticated guiding widget for my site and my products. In my belief, it may take a lot of time, or money, or both, for such a system.

I find it all with Lou - with easy, ready solution and reasonable price. And as a bonus, announcements, tooltips are also offered - this would be really nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
