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?

The highlight of this software is that it records each of the activities and movements of each user who enters the website and performs a series of analyses, such as sentiment analysis, behavioral analysis and funnel analysis, which allow us to recognize the flaws of our page, the sections that are most liked, the sections where users stop for longer and where they do not generate any interest, thus creating strategies that help us to attract more users and traffic to our page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

I would like to be able to export the videos and not just watch them from the application, I would also love that its interface was simpler, to have better organized all the tools and to make better use of them. Although all its analyses are very efficient and complete, some are not as easy to read as I would like, such as the funnel analysis, which does not clearly show the problem to be solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We love this tool because we can know in detail the entire journey of customers and users within the website. We get accurate information and deep analysis of the customer's journey, most visited sections, even the video recording of the entire journey of each customer, which allows us to know the tastes and interests of each user and improve their experience within our page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

Smartlook has been an invaluable tool in so many respects. One of the best features, of course, is its session recording, which is incredibly helpful when supporting our site's users, as we're able to better diagnose exactly what went wrong and guide them in completing their intended action. It's also immensely helpful in diagnosing bugs (particularly with the console features), understanding how users are interacting with new features, and more. Aside from this, the data analytics with heat maps, funnels, and key event tracking helps us understand usage and prioritize our next product steps. The support team has been very helpful in getting us quickly set up as well as in maintaining success. All of this at a very fair market rate (we used to use FullStory, which was good, but their pricing jumped significantly and with fewer features/less value than SmartLook, in our experience). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

We've had some trouble at times getting Segment to speak consistently to SmartLook's platform, but it seems to be more of a Segment issue than a SmartLook issue. We've been able to work around that by pairing our event tracking directly from our platform to SmartLook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Smartlook:

Honestly, it was kind of a no-brainer given the fullness of their feature set and price point compared with competitors. The only thing is that it doesn't always play nicely with Segment but I think that's a Segment issue, not SmartLook. We've had the same issue with Segment and other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

SmartLook helps us solve bugs, features not being used/interacted with as intended, and even just issues of misdiagnosing problems. When you can't see, you don't have the full picture. SmartLook helps eliminate blindspots so that we can build the best product possible to fully meet our users' needs. As a result, we're building a better product more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lara Pieterse of Smartlook

Thank you so much for the positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you're getting so much out of our product.

Best,

What do you like best about Smartlook?

The video and filtering ability, easy access to click rage videos, analyzing how users interact with static content pages and PDPs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

I'm not able to tag team members in comments/notes with an @ sign. Found using the heatmap tool challenging for pages that change (such as the home page) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Smartlook:

Training is highly recommended before you start to use especially if your team is not familiar with heat mapping or website recording tools like Hotjar or CrazyEgg. We switch from CrazyEgg and Hotjar because of the dedicated team at SamrtLook that help onboard team members and follow-up sessions to answer questions that they might have.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

I like that it is an un-invasive way of keeping track of activity within our application. It's pretty dependable and has a bunch of features that I didn't think we'd need but we use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

It's buggy and there's simple things that I really don't like that seem dumb. For example, I can't export more than 1,000 records of data at once which is a MAJOR painpoint Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

Customer support. Andrea Consoli was just superb. And Smartlook tool is just super useful when launching new product/feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

There are some features I had to solve through customer support, that could be in the UI. For example: Cancelling/merging accounts and mainly the possibility to assign recordings quota/limits to different projects. Also, the dashboard could be more customizable (bigger tiles, scrollable lists). And possibility to set concrete pages to be monitored (and restrict others) from UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Customer behavior after launching new product/features on tour websites. Bug and errors detecting. UX tweaking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

Useful for analyzing user behavior for Apps. I knew other tools that work well for websites but Smartlook has an advantage for apps. My projects very organized from the beginning and filtering properties works just fine. It didn't create unnecessary load in the app and integration was really easy. Smartlook support team assited me for every single of my problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

Behavior Flow feature could be more customizable. Sometimes there were performance issues and small bugs that got in my way. Android resolution was bad compared to iOS. Could be nice to compare projects across platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

User experience optimization, heatmaps, UI testing for different devices. I benefited financially because it helped detecting fraudulent patterns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartlook?

We tried many tools which claim about getting the session recording and user analytics but, nothing comes close to Smartlook. Dashbaord is super easy to navigate and it has all the features you would want to know whats happening with your website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartlook?

I wish there were some premade settings for shopify stores. It would be Easier to get started instead of customizing and working around. It takes to learn thing but, the support is super helpful and they always there to fix things for you. No complaints! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Helps us with the Website monitoring in real time. Session recording will show you what happens at the customer side. Gives insights on how we can improve.

From a design perspective, it gives you an idea how the users are using your website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
