Smartlook Overview

What is Smartlook?

Smartlook is an analytics solution for websites, iOS/Android apps, and various app frameworks, that answers the "whys" behind your users' actions. Learn more about our features ↩️ Brands can easily understand how customers precisely interact with their website and app by: - Watching recordings of every user, and seeing exactly what they see, down to the same resolution. - Using automatically tracked events generated within the website/app, from tapping a button to typing text. - Building conversion funnels and finding out where most of their users are leaving the website/app (and seeing what they did before they left). - Creating heatmaps of visitors’ clicks, scrolls, and moves, to highlight popular elements. Smartlook cuts out all the guesswork and gathers brands’ app data together on one central dashboard, which enables sharing and collaborating with colleagues. This means clear, data-driven decision-making for product managers, marketers, UX designers, and developers to constantly improve each website and app by reducing churn rates, boosting conversions, identifying and fixing bugs, and improving UX.

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.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

One of the things that I like most is the ability to capture user sessions and replay them for analysis which is invaluable when troubleshooting technical issues or understanding user issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

I find the platform to be quite clunky and unintuitive. Navigating through the different sections can be confusing at times, and it's not always clear how to access certain features or settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has solved a number of problems I used to face in my work. One of the biggest challenges I used to have was understanding the issues customers faced when they interacted with our website or application. Smartlook has been an amazing solution for this, offering an advanced analytics platform that allows me to see exactly what customers are doing on our site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

We liked the effectiveness Smartlook's platform has when it comes to having a daily follow-up of the behavior that the audience ends up having on each of our websites. It has tools to record in real time the actions visitors are having in our networks, and Smartlook does everything discreetly and efficiently. We love that it has a deep analysis management that allows us to visualize comfortably the criteria that the audience of our services may be having through our social networks, and in this way, we can address each requirement that we have and significantly improve where there are failures that at the moment we did not see and thanks to Smartlook we know it, in this way we can provide the audience with a more dynamic and pleasant experience on our websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

So far, we must recognize that there are very few dislikes as such that we have of the Smartlook platform compared to the benefits it has brought to our organization. However, I consider it essential to note that they should make an update where they pay attention and look for an improvement to the heat map tool since its efficiency is not the best and tends to present inconveniences. Another minor annoyance we had is that we can not massively export data, which has become a big problem for our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Smartlook's platform constantly brings us benefits since having the daily monitoring of the behavior that the audience is having on our websites and having a real-time recording from the beginning ends up giving us an idea of how the experience is being and how we can improve the experience of each user that enters our social networks, as well as we can identify in a much simpler way when a customer is potential and when not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

We mainly like Smartlook because its configuration is not so complicated, and the information support is attentive to provide assistance, making adapting the platform more dynamic and ensuring success quickly. It is a platform that collects important information from each of the people who visit our websites, giving us with this the opportunity to have an immediate response solution to any user or customer who has a problem; Smartlook even identifies when the problem is a console, this is one of the most appreciated tools since with other platforms that we used previously did not do it. Thanks to the information gathered from the audience that visits our internet platforms, our marketing department generates new strategies with much more effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform tends to get a bit slow when you want to manage several things simultaneously. However, it ends up hosting solid results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

More efficient and solid results when creating new marketing strategies and carry out on our websites thanks to the information that Smarlook is responsible for collecting in advance of each of the users accessing our platforms.

Smartlook helps us obtain detailed information about the users that visit our websites in such a way we can track by video the actions of the visitors in a discreet, flattering and efficient manner. I like its dashboard; it has a good design and is customizable; it allows us to track what happens on our website comfortably and efficiently; the best thing is that it works in real-time. Through Smartlook's analytics, we have been able to determine critical factors in our website, such as which modules are the most frequented by visitors, from where they access the website, discover problems that may be facing our visitors and solve them as soon as possible to create a more comfortable user experience for visitors.

Sometimes there are technical/server issues to me, probably like Chrome doesn't work and all the information is just keep loading. Once I switch over to other browsers, they typically work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

Ease of capturing the entire screen and the ability to tag/comment at specific time frames for my dev team to take a look at the issues. They capture rage clicks quite well. All the sessions from the same IP/same user across days are captured and grouped, and it helps to get a holistic picture of what happened in the user journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

When I was using Smartlook, they didn't have any capabilities to integrate with Clevertap/Google Analytics. I had to go through my funnels in GA/CT and identify the date, time, device and possible step/event in the flow where the users are dropping. Then go to Smartlook, and filter by date and device to figure out the potential users who dropped and guess why. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Smartlook was one of the critical tools used in my product to study user behaviour and improve user journeys. It was pivotal in enhancing some of the user onboarding flows. Smartlook also became a good source of truth for product decisions and also user interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

SmartLook provides an indepth look at a customer's journey. I love being able to use their username/url to find their instances and the fact they are all linked together. It is very straightforward. The heat map tool is also really cool to look use and see which areas our customers spend the most time on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

The operating system can lag a bit. I also would like a way to flag a little bit easier, especially putting flags at pinpoints in the user experience. It would be great to see continued improvement to the heat mapping as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to see where customers get stuck, and if a client runs into an issue on our platform, we can quickly check the instance and see what exactly went wrong. It gives us eyes into the customer's journey, which helps to highlight critical problems and fix them quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
