I think over the last 2 years I've been using it they have been improving a lot on their features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stonly?

Stonly allows me to build complex guides with specific logic - using just an easy CSS selector tool that simply allows me to select components of the page I want to highlight or guide the user through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stonly?

There is a learning curve to Stonly - there are so many features and if/or/but/and/not functions that it is difficult to wrap your head around it all at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We work with many clients who use our wine ecommerce software. Our team cannot handle the number of questions about product functionality and onboarding. Stonly helps us walk a user through their portal and show them tool tips which cuts down on a lot of support desk email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stonly?

Perfect for our help portal and the "in-website" walk-throughs and guides are so valuable.

Morgan, our CSM, really blew our minds by showing us examples of what we can do after she saw what we were doing and hoping to do.

You can trigger for first-time visitors, or visitors that have only visited a few times.

We are just getting started, but there is so much value we can deliver for our clients with Stonly. Examples: when we release new products, walk through new customers on first log-ins, and more.

And I love the Stonly Chrome extension. I've been building, previewing, and showing my colleagues ideas of what we can do without ever needing to make a "live change" to our website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stonly?

I don't have anything negative to say. I promise -

We bought to replace our old knowledgebase for end users, but came away with so much more than we expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It brings the help to the user in a nice interface, in the application they are already in. More we can help our clients with good content, in the right places, the less support tickets we will have and the better experience we can deliver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stonly?

Stonly's ability to present guides, or specific steps of guides interactively throughout our tool, just when our users need them, set them apart for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stonly?

There are some limitations to how flexibly the guides can be designed, but these are incrementally resolved by the Stonly team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1) Our product is wide-reaching and has a high learning curve - Stonly helps with adoption and just-in-time help

2) Reduce the number of support tickets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stonly?

The small bite-sized delivery system for information to the end customer is Ideal.

The options and methods available for linking and connecting steps and guides together are outstanding. The live tours are also a great tool that we are in the midst of deploying in our product now.

The Report issues tool is excellent for identifying problems and reporting to those who can fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stonly?

It is very easy to get lost when creating guides and steps in Stonly. because everything is extremely granular and fragmented by design, it is possible to accidentally create the same information in multiple places (instead of 'linking' to relevant, already created steps. The real danger here is that should one version of the information be updated, and the other not, you end up with conflicting information in your system, which leads to poor customer experience. It would be nice if there was some way to get a birds-eye view of a knowledge base, including relevant links between steps and guides to minimize this issue.

Another missing element that would be highly desired is a functional "draft/approve" process. We currently use a folder outside of the main KB for new draft articles, however, should one of our lower-level team members be tasked with drafting an update to an existing guide, it is very hard to obtain a clear list of what guides have been edited, where and what has changed, and then as an admin, be able to review, approve and publish. Ideally I would desire some sort of list where the guide edit page is not opened, but rather a list of changes, when you click one you get a pop-up of before/after comparison, and then you can approve and publish without a page load.

The report issues function could do with a link in the resulting email to take you to the edit page for the doc. Currently we need to copy/paste the guide name from the email to the editor portal fo find the guide. This has on more than one occassion lead to the incorrect guide being edited (sometimes related to the topic in paragraph one of these notes)

When first loading the customer-facing site, the search field shows up, you can start typing, but then the search is cleared and you end up with part of your search term missing and have to start again (minor frustration, however, customers will experience this as a touchpoint of our product, not Stonly, wo it looks bad on our part)

For the tours, you have element selectors for ID and CSS selector. XPATH support would be highly desirable for some of the elements in our app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Stonly is providing a very intuitive customer-facing knowledge base, minimizing our need to resort to costly phone support or detailed email to cover training on common procedures in our App Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stonly?

I can say that I received very good support from Stonly when I had to resolve a few issues recently. They explained a few things really well and also fixed a bug that I was asking for. While their system is not perfect, you can include this in our review if that helps StuRents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to be able to create interactive user journeys like the ones offered by Jebbit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stonly?

Stonly is an extremely powerful and effective tool. It is allowing us to guide our customers step-by-step through sensitive moments such as onboarding or while using online features.

The fact that Stonly can be managed in "IT-free" mode also makes it very flexible and particularly suitable for the needs of those who, in the Marketing or Customer Experience area, need to test the impacts of changes.

Last but not least, their Customer Success Managers are always present and proactive in analyzing data and proposing possible innovations.

Definitely highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stonly?

Nothing for the moment, I hope it continues like this :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Stonly is helping us in improving the accessibility of the information our customers need, thus reducing the need for contact via phone or email and improving the Customer Experience of our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stonly?

Stonly has taken internal and external-facing troubleshooting flows and allowed us to format them in a user-friendly interface. Our handling time is steadily decreasing and our customer experiences are much more consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stonly?

The only downside to Stonly has been the inability to display guides for our customers on our Salesforce knowledge base, as I was able to use this feature in Zendesk before migrating. This is more a Salesforce restriction than a Stonly weakness, however. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our current primary use is to simplify and streamline our troubleshooting process so customers can easily self-serve and search a multitude of symptoms to be directed through troubleshooting seamlessly, as well as creating more advanced internal flows for our employees to stop 'throwing spaghetti at the wall' and be directed through proper troubleshooting. It also assist us in ensuring customer issues are escalated to higher level tiers when appropriate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stonly?

The Support is excellent, either via e-mail or recorded videos to help me with any issue I might have (incuding self-inflicted ones). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stonly?

There are a few things that I would like to be enhanced, for instance the checklist.

Stonly has always taken time to actually listen and try to understand my needs and suggestions, so I hope that these are somewhere on the road map. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

About two years ago, our multinational company was looking for a system to create automated troubleshooting guides that could be used online for technicians and customers worldwide (built-in translation) to help themselves before calling support.

We looked into three companies and chose Stonly because it not only looked good but was reasonably easy to learn and had the desired features.

Admittedly the other systems had more features, but we probably would have used only a few of them, or we would have had to hire a couple of full-time people to analyze all the reports they provided. (There ARE usage reports in Stonly, too.) And the price was also very reasonable compared to the rest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
