What do you like best about VisualSP?

VisualSP is incredible for just-in-time software training for browser based tools, enabling scale adoption. It also works well for onboarding and maintenance notifications. Also, the company is responsive and support is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VisualSP?

There are two limitations. One, the tool is for the browser only, although it can be used on almost any app in the browswer, either a Microsoft tool such as Dynamics or SharePoint or your custom software. Two, the same as any tool in this space, keeping all training content up to date is challenging. There is a bit of a learning curve to use the tool, but given how many features and options it has that is probably inevitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

VisualSP solves just-in-time CRM training, new employee intranet onboarding, and data literacy in-context. This increases staff adoption and satisfaction without taking time out for separate training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Darrell Houghton of VisualSP

Thanks for your review! True, our application is browser-based, which allows us to keep our content current and up-to-date. We have over 1700 pieces of help content that we provide out-of-the-box to make your job easier.

What do you like best about VisualSP?

VisualSP has been a great tool to provide better context within all of our commonly used Office 365 applications. We had initially integrated the software within our Microsoft Dynamics environment. Still, we saw the value it was providing and branched out to a range of other Microsoft applications that have helped provide effective tutorials and walkthroughs for our processes. Eric and Amanda have also been pivotal in providing support and sharing knowledge on Visual SP. The daily office hours provided by VisualSP have also enabled us with a space to seek advice and better understand how to create useful help items that directly benefit our user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VisualSP?

The software can be slightly inconsistent at times with help item placement but overall this has been resolved by the team at Visual SP on a consistent basis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Visual SP helps break down the problem of difficult user processes as we can provide help tips and context clues to point users in the right direction. This benefits us as users are less likely to stray away from a task as they can read help items to build a better understanding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VisualSP?

The only downside we have encountered is that is doesn't integrate with the client applications, but given how useful it is on the browser that is a small price to pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

VisualSP is serving two roles for us. Firstly it is a useful help tool for our staff guiding them through use of SharePoint. Secondly, we are using the tool to create our own content to promote important announcements and track user engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VisualSP?

The product was super easy to deploy and just started working. We found the pre-canned set of training modules especially useful. Our previous experience with DAP solutions has shown that considerable effort goes into content creation. When the content is already prepped, the level of effort for starting up and maintaining VisualSP drops to next to nothing. We have used competitive DAP solutions before switching to VisualSP and found the ease of use, maintenance, content creation, and support a breath of fresh air. The solution is well-architected, well-designed, streamlined, reasonably-priced, and comes with tons of content. What's not to like? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VisualSP?

Have not found anything about this product that I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

VisualSP is delivering on-the-spot training for our end-users. We are using it enterprise-wide across multiple web applications, including custom home-grown ones. After deploying VisualSP, we found:

1. We no longer need to republish our applications when we need to post announcements. We simply create a banner in VisualSP and - boom - the announcement is posted without any code updates to the application.

2. When our users need support and handholding, whenever possible we send them a link to a walkthrough or a help article in VisualSP that shows them how to solve their issue within the application.

3. Application updates and roll-outs no longer require lengthy emails detailing all the changes, which our users are likely to disregard anyway. Instead, VisualSP just shows them what changed right in the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Darrell Houghton of VisualSP

Hi Alex, thanks for the great review! VisualSP, does indeed, come with out-of-the-box content. We currently have over 1700 help items that we provide, with additional content added all the time. This ready-made content is a giant time saver for teams that only have one individual handling customer support.

What do you like best about VisualSP?

The fact that it remains hidden yet available at all times for me to use the help when I need it. I love how help content is easily searchable and relevant to what I am looking at on the screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VisualSP?

I hope the app can display content with other on-cloud apps that are may not be widely used like Office or Salesforce \ Dynamics. With cloud-based apps, I have to keep the browser open or apps open to leverage the help thus hoping there is a way to access help without launching the browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Finding the help content when I need it. I know we have access to learning sites from vendors and even third-party learning sites but they are not available when I am using the app - VisualSP is easily accessible for me when I run into an issue or encounter a new feature that I don't know how to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Darrell Houghton of VisualSP

Thanks for your review! VisualSP is a browser-based solution that works with any online application such as Salesforce, Dynamics, and ServiceNow, not to mention the full suite of Office applications.

What do you like best about VisualSP?

With the planned rollout of our new digital collaboration world, we wanted to enable our users to self-help. We identified following criteria:

○ Low operating costs

○ Use of available Microsoft learning/help content in real time

○ Availability of the solution in multiple languages and customizable

○ Context-based help

With VisualSP we found the ideal product and partner. The VisualSP extention helps us to provide a selection of context-based, snackable help items at any time and where it's needed. To narrow down the search for the user, the inline help offers information right at the source.

The only requirement that was not covered at that time, was a place where all the help items can be found - kind of a first touch point when the user has a question about digital collaboration. Hence we partnered up with VisualSP and developed a web part for SharePoint which can display and filter specific help items. Check out this page if you want to learn more about this specially developed SharePoint Web Part.

This example shows perfectly how VisualSP engages with customers. At VisualSP I do not feel like a customer but like a partner. This strength sets VisualSP apart from their competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VisualSP?

Nothing to share here….

I was very satisfied with the cooperation between Emmi and VisualSP.

You can read more about our experience under "What do you like best?". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Since not all needed answers are quickly and completely available on Microsoft Support pages, we had to spend a massive amount of time creating missing help content and explaining to our customers where to find the information immediately. We hope for a big relief and time saving by the already extended and easy-to-complement VisualSP solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Darrell Houghton of VisualSP

Thank for the great review! We value our relationships with our customers and appreciate the feedback we receive from them. Most of our new features and improvements come from feedback from our users. You can read about the web part mentioned in the review at the link, below.

What do you like best about VisualSP?

Simplicity and cost of the solution compared to others in the market place.

Engadgement with senior management during pre-sales.

Feedback taken on board and implemented.

Good customer support systems and community calls with other customers for shared learnings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VisualSP?

Nothing so far, our concerns and feedback have all been taken on board! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

On-demand just-in-time learning.

Biggest challenge with any tech solution is the user component; VisualSP allows us to roll out new tech solutions faster and truly embrace continual service improvement and ever evolving systems because we're no longer bottlenecked by user training and adoption challenges. It also means that our ServiceDesk teams are spending less time providing application support and our users are getting a better experience with the precise help they need when they need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Darrell Houghton of VisualSP

Hi Ty, thanks for the great review! Our application is by far the easiest solution to learn. A content editor can be up and running creating their own custom help items after a short learning curve.

What do you like best about VisualSP?

We are at the start our our VisualSP journey, but the superlative customer service and wealth of knowledge held by the employees is one of the big strengths. There is such a well-documented need for this type of solution and I'm confident about its ability to help in a variety of ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VisualSP?

Aside from the need to spend some time setting it up and maintaining it (which is more of a given than a downside) I haven't yet come across any major things I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Bringing tech help to people at the point of need, reducing frustration levels and empowering people to find solutions when they need them. Overall it leads to a happier, more productive workforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Darrell Houghton of VisualSP

Thank you for your review! We always try to over-deliver with product features and customer support. We even have a daily Office Hour where we invite users to join a live Teams channel for help learning the product or to answer their questions.

Easy to use, very intuitive functionality, low maintenance, reliable, and great support from the VisualSP team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VisualSP?

Don't have any specific concerns so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It provides inline help to our application users and reduces the number of support tickets, clarification emails and calls. End users save time on searching for the information - it appears right on a screen for each feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Darrell Houghton of VisualSP

Hi Slava, thank you for your review! You pointed out a very important point about how low maintenance VisualSP is. Any updates to our application are pushed out automatically to your user's browsers. No work is necessary from an IT perspective. It just works!

What do you like best about VisualSP?

VisualSP is very intuitive and easy to use as an admin and as an end user. It is easy to create custom content as an admin and even easier to access the custom content as an end user. Help is available when users need it most, in the easiest way to find it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VisualSP?

No downsides from an end user perspective. As an admin, I do not have a background in HTML so completing extra customizations requires a bit more time for me to learn; but VisualSP's customer support as well as the Services Lead assigned to us are very quick to respond to any questions or issues I am having. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Adoption of M365, moving from SP2010 to SPOnline. Major change for our users but VisualSP's product is making it seamless for them to learn the new system and processes. We have cut down on staff time required for direct assistance due to users being able to review our custom walkthroughs and the curated content already provided by VisualSP in the help tab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Darrell Houghton of VisualSP

Thanks for your review! We like to brag that we are Loom to our competitors Camtasia. We both do the same thing but with our product you can be up and running after a very short learning curve.

What do you like best about VisualSP?

VisualSP is my tool of choice for communication and user documentation. I can easily create content and have multiple ways to surface the content where users need assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VisualSP?

There is no effort required to use VisualSP with O365 - the tab just appears, and you can start using it right away. However, if you want to use it with other applications, there is a browser extension that needs to be pushed out by IT or added individually by the users. There is plenty of documentation so it's not a huge deal, but there is some setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When there are questions, I can create a custom help item so I never have to answer that same question again. This has significantly reduced support and questions, which means the users can work more efficiently and I have fewer interruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Darrell Houghton of VisualSP

Thanks for your review! You make a great point about how VisualSP is a great tool for communication. User's are more likely to ignore an email message, which makes the ability to put your communication into a pop-up or banner and have it appear in their onscreen work environment so much more powerful.
