What do you like best about Smartlook?

Smartlook session recordings with funnels is the best feature which makes it a much superior platform in the mobile app analytics domain. Its integration with crashlytics makes issue debugging effortless. Session recording feature with intricate details like where user tapped, what component actually responded to the tap, hiding sensitive data to protect user's privacy also helped us to adopt smartlook in all of our products. All in all, I found it to be a complete solution for mobile app analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

Very Few crashes in the Android SDK (not much to be concerned about) and sometimes the session replay is not quite perfect. All systems have some or the other flaws and smartlook is no different. But this never made us pull plug from smartlook Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Smartlook:

Our company was on the verge of a collapse because of our poor customer retention. Smartlook turned out to be a god send tool for us which not only helped us to fix the issue but also save our company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartlook solving and how is that benefiting you?

Customer retention was our biggest problem and it was getting very hard for us to determine the issue.

We tried adding events, sending logs, talking to our customers but nothing worked. But With the help Smart look, we were able to quickly identify the issues and fix them. Smart look turned out to be a god send tool for us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Smartlook Overview

What is Smartlook?

Smartlook cuts out all the guesswork and gathers brands’ app data together on one central dashboard, which enables sharing and collaborating with colleagues.

Product Description

Smartlook is a tool designed to record the screens of real users on your website. It allows users to see what visitors clicked with their mouse, what they filled into a form field, where they spend most of their time, and how they browse through each page.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Smartlook differentiates itself from its competitors by combining qualitative (session recordings) and quantitative analytics (events, heatmaps, and funnels). You can analyze the customer journey across web and mobile apps (iOS and Android), including cross-platform projects.

You can also retroactively gain access to heatmap and funnel data from the moment you deploy the SDK on your website or app.

Although Smartlook is a comprehensive solution, it’s super simple to implement. Essential insights are guaranteed in a matter of hours.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Smartlook?

I like the best about Smartlook is that it helps me easily create heat maps and thus receive visual analytics of user behavior on our website, for example where user drop-off happens, etc. I use this everyday at work to see how users are using our website, which button are they clicking on, which button they are skipping, it helps me as a PM to make informed UI/UX decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

There is not much that I dislike about Smartlook however I would say that they can improve their UI/UX to make it more easy to use and more straightforward, also they can improve dashboard analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartlook solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main business problem that Smartlook is solving is that we have no visibility to what the user is doing on their end on our website and hence Smartlook gives us visibility into user behavior on our website.I use this everyday at work to see how users are using our website, which button are they clicking on, which button they are skipping, it helps me as a PM to make informed UI/UX decisions.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

Smartlook is easy to use and has a free usage option. I track users who visit my website several times a week. The feature of viewing user movements at a higher speed saves time. It doesn't put too much load on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

The downside is that it only keeps a 1-month tracking record when used for free. It's also more difficult to create a heat map than other similar applications, and the created heat map remains active for a short time and then deactivates automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartlook solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me make my website better by showing me how users interact with my website, where are the pain points, and sections I need to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

You will get all the user screen screen recordings. It's best for designers and PMs. It will also help you identify bugs and you can search specific users via custom user id.

Heatmap is also of great use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

Sometimes it's slow. The player UI can be improved. It doesn't offer bulk search based on user ids Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartlook solving and how is that benefiting you?

Smartlook is providing realtime user recordings. It is helpful to observe how users are behaving on mobile screens and what can be improved to give a better experience. It's of a great help for journey identification. It can give you journey distribution. We have identified multiple bugs through this, which would be impossible to identify without screen recordings.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

The most helpful feature of Smartlook is that it makes it easier for us to analyze user activities behavior on our webpages. It helps us to improve the user interface and user experience on our website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

There is nothing much to dislike about Smartlook, but there are few things that needs to be improved for sure, like the filter options, error explanation and user interface. The filters should have more options like country and state selection to check the users interacting from our targeted locations. Second is error explanation. Sometimes the error does not properly explains what actually happened and what we need to improve. And the third is user interface. User interface might be difficult for the new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartlook solving and how is that benefiting you?

The major problem that Smartlook is solving for me is that we can see the session replay and check what a user from our targeted location has done in our website. Sometimes it happens that a user tries to submit the contact form, but face some technical problems and leave the site. Smartlook help us to check that and fix that problem. Also it help us to reach out to that user through the email or phone number that they were trying to submit through the form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recently started using Smartlook for my website and am thoroughly impressed with the app. The user-friendly interface makes it easy for me to navigate and understand the data. What I like best about Smartlook are the in-depth visitor recordings that provide valuable insights into user behavior. This has helped me make informed decisions on how to improve my website's user experience.

Another feature that I appreciate is the seamless integration with popular website builders and e-commerce platforms. This has saved me a lot of time as I no longer have to switch between different tools to get the information I need.

Overall, I highly recommend Smartlook for anyone who wants to understand their website's visitors better and improve their performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

I haven't encountered any significant drawbacks with Smartlook. However, as every website and business has different needs and requirements, it's possible that some users may not find all the features they need in Smartlook. In such cases, it may be worth exploring alternative options to find the best fit for their needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartlook solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a website owner, I always struggled to get a clear picture of how my visitors used my site and their pain points. With Smartlook, I can now see exactly how visitors interact with my website, down to minor details. This has been a game-changer for me as it allows me to identify and fix any issues hindering my visitors' experience.

Smartlook also provides me with valuable insights into my website's performance, helping me make data-driven decisions on improving my site. For example, I could identify many visitors leaving my place after a particular page, which led me to revamp the entire user flow. This has resulted in a significant increase in user engagement and conversions on my site.

Overall, Smartlook is solving the problem of understanding my website's visitors and helping me make data-driven decisions to improve my website's performance. I am delighted with this app's benefits to my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

it is very easy to use, i got introduced to it when i joined the company in march, and i picked it up and learned very fast, like in a week. as a designer, it helps me to the user behavior very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

sometimes all sessions are not properly recorded, there are glitches, hangs or some screen are just not shown, although it is not frequent but yes this happens. one more frustration is that sometimes sessions are not recorded of nearly happened session like an hours ago or two hour ago, but smartlook does not tell upfront that these sessions are not well recorded but we have to check all one by one and find out that they are not well recorded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartlook solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting to know user behavior, their reaction on every screen. i also get to know the behavior and trigger on every screen as Smartlook provides me the heatmaps on the screen based on user clicks. i can see on which button users are clicking, on which text or banner they are clicking, and what their reaction was on every screen. this helps me re-iterate the flow and screen for the users. Behaviour funnels helps me in figuring out how users are reacting on every step of the funnel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
