What do you like best about UserTesting?

Due to UserTesting's market size, you can get very fast results from its vast pool of testers. It has also grown (or acquired) a lot so that it has many tools and methods for collecting user feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UserTesting?

The biggest downside is the cost, as the per-subject costs seem reasonable, but the per-seat licenses do not seem reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

UserTesting allows me to get quick feedback on product feature ideas and design mockups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UserTesting?

I like its simplicity in the interface, it's intuitive to create your tests. I also like that it's automated: if a tester is not good, just a few clicks to get another one. And responses are so quickly, it really makes it easy to turn around a test in a couple of days (analysis included). Also the interviews work well, it's not required to install software (other than zoom) and there's an observer room, it's easy to share links to colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UserTesting?

I feel there's room for improvement, I don't like that I can't self serve to delete my tests (need to write to support). And once you create a study, there's no flexibility to edit the type of test or device, same for interviews, once you set the parameters, you can't change after creation of the study. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Definitely the speed: putting togethere a test is super quick and getting results it's even quicker. It takes away the stress of "fear of failing" because it's so quick and easy that if you do mistakes, you can just duplicate the test, correct it and relaunch it. The fact that participants are replaced automatically when something is wrong is another less headache. Such a big weight off my shoulders!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UserTesting?

Usertesting is great if you want to conduct user interviews. It manages everything from calendar schedules, recruiting, notetaking, tagging of notes, editing videos and summaries of your entire study. You can invite everyone you need there and share reels later with the team. It's also great for unmoderated studies, be it recruting from their base or not. It's qutie easy to implement figma prototypes there for usability tests. I like how their customer support is fast, never got ny doubts unanswered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UserTesting?

In case your users are wuite talkative on your interview, your session may be cut off. If you need to increase the amount of minutes, you need to create a whole new study. For surveys, they're still implementing more logic and conditions features like UserZoom has. I wish putting images on multiple answer questions was possible too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can recruit from a wider audience, manage easily schedules for interviews and conduct usability tests of my prototypes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UserTesting?

We're currently using the User zoom and EnjoyHQ platforms and we love the integrations between them. UserZoom allows us to run a plethora of multi-method studies and importantly, QXScore studies which help us internally benchmark our web experiences and track improvements. EnjoyHQ allows us to have a centralised repository of research insights, data analytics findings and experimentation results that keep our findings living and breathing with clear evidence and summaries and allows for stakeholders to self-serve insights which free's up the researchers to run more research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UserTesting?

I'm anticipating the future of AI in UserZoom and EnjoyHQ which currently doesn't exist. I know there are some interesting plans for this and it's something currently lacking in the platforms we use so very exciting stuff. We also have run into recent issues with the recruitment panels either not being able to achieve the numbers we need or having poor quality results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Working in marketing, we use UserZoom to help us surface user pain points and feedback that are then fed back to our optimisation squads. The squads pick out these opportunities for testing and we a/b test hypotheses backed by user research which helps drive conversion rates. We also use UserZoom to conduct user research on prototypes to allow us to get early feedback and for designers to iterate on experiences before they've ever even launched on the website.

What do you like best about UserTesting?

UserTesting has a large amount of participants, my tests get filled very easily; I can save templates and pin tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UserTesting?

Hard to maintain favourtite network and custom network as we need to send a invite to participants to join the saved network but they technically already in th network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Participant recruitment, analysis dashboard, save audience groups, etc

We conducted lots of unmordeated testing on the platform, generally it saves lots of time in term of the participant recruitment process and conducting user research is no longer a bottleneck of the project.

We still need to 'clean' and analysis the data but it just easier to have the analysis dashboard the glance a quick result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UserTesting?

User Testing offers a quck and covenient way to recruit non-users for unmoderated tests from their panel. The size and diversity of the panel allows to get responses within hours instead of days. The platform is user fliendly and test builder is robust, supporting a variety of research study types and integrations.

Sometimes the quality of feedback some users provide can be low, but luckaly User Testing offers to replace any session that wasn't useful with another one free of chanrge, and this action is only a button away.

Overall, UserTesting streamlines the process of running user tests and makes it efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UserTesting?

While UserTesting is an excellent tool for recruitment speed, the pricing is quite high. It's one of the more expensive options out there and the subscription caps the number of seats. This limits the scalability for growing teams or when trying to democratize research to other departments. This became a challenge as our team expanded, and it wasn’t cost-effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main problem UserTesting helps us to solve is getting quality users feedback and validate our assumptions and hypothesis very quickly. You can create, launch a test and get first feedback from real people all within an hour or two. It also supports multiple research methods aloowing us to choose an approach tailored to our needs. This makes the user research process more efficient and flexible, benefiting teams by enabling faster, more actionable insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UserTesting?

It's so easy to draft up and launch tests, and insights come in so quickly! Their templates are super useful and their Support staff is always there if you have a question. I'm also obsessed with the Highlight reel creator - it's insanely easy to make clips and piece together videos for hard-hitting insight reels to share with the team with the simple copy/paste of a hyperlink. Plus, we love the Live Convos feature - these are practically on demand 1:1 user interviews. Can't say enough good things about the platform - don't know what I'd do as a researcher without UT.com! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UserTesting?

Recently I've needed to test cross-devices (pushing a user desktop to app, for example) which isn't supported yet in Unmoderated testing. I also think the Transcription could be improved a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UserTesting:

Leverage the templates & Learning Navigator provided by UT.com, + their support staff and your customer success manager! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Identifying issues in core shopping flows, understanding natural user behavior on certain sites/pages, assessing the performance of prototypes of upcoming feature work/experiences. This platform really helps us keep tabs on our current experience + ensures our future experiences are vetted before they go live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UserTesting?

I like how easy it is to find the right participants and conduct various methodology tests with UserTesting. Their analysis tool is best in the business and is an intuitive and easy tool for researchers to do studies. The highlight reels integrate well with figjam presentations. Customer support along with being able to talk to the UserTesting researchers has been very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UserTesting?

I'd like for some analysis data points to be more accurate and drill deeper into insights. The intention paths to be more detailed. I want to be able to test 3 or 4 options and not just 2 with balance comparison. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UserTesting?

Easy access to panel of contributors across different roles and industry as well as spread across the world. There are multiple templates and easy to implement approaches for multi-research methods. There are always new additions and that's super helpful to plan knowing you can rely on UT platform. Their customer support is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UserTesting?

Quality of contributors on UserTesting is decreasing by the day. There are some aggressive contributors who feel entitled to incentive only because they show up and not provide any meaningful feedback. The quality needs major reboot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

UserTesting is helping me to evaluate prototypes of the designs we are developing for our products and get timely feedback to understand if design direction is easily comprehensible, understand perceived value as well as conduct user interviews through various pre-determined templates. We have done early testing on Information Architecture, card-sorting methods etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UserTesting?

It makes it super easy to get feedback asynchronously for specific groups of people. It's great for testing things quickly and getting a "gut check" on certain projects. The customer support is also really helpful, I love that I can chat them basically any time and they always get back to me quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UserTesting?

I find the quality of participants can vary, and I also question how many testers they actually have. I notice that some testers often repeat across our different brands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps us derisk changes in our app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UserTesting?

User testing has provided a platform to generate a better understanding for both our product and marketing team. UT's immense stock of viable participants has opened up testing for us and sped up our processes. With a wonderful, supportive community, it truly is a platform that no UXer should be without. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UserTesting?

It can be cost-prohibitive for individual contributors. It's something you may have to lobby for at your organization, but the sales team is great and can help in that regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UserTesting:

You'll find that once you start using highlight reels and sharing the findings with colleagues around the organization, interest in the tool will skyrocket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With a smaller team, I'm able to handle a variety of requests from the organization easily, leaving more time spent processing the findings than coordinating meetings, screen shares, etc.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
