What do you like best about Whatfix?

Whatfix has been a game-changer for our organization’s digital adoption strategy. The platform’s guided walkthroughs and on-demand help have empowered our employees to navigate complex systems confidently. We use for our HRIS, ERP, and a few other applications that regularly experience user confusion. The flexibility of Whatfix to create detailed, step-by-step flows has made training and onboarding seamless.

The customization options allow us to tailor content to specific user groups, improving our support and engagement efforts significantly. The analytics dashboard provides valuable insights into user behavior, which helps us continually optimize our content. The support from the Whatfix team has been excellent as well—they are responsive and proactive in helping us achieve our goals. From the very beginning, we have had a white glove treatment/approach to support, and we can't speak highly enough about our experience!

Whatfix is an invaluable tool that has reduced our support requests and made complex tools accessible across all levels of our organization. We highly recommend it to any team looking to improve user adoption and reduce training costs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whatfix?

There is a learning curve to the platform, and sometimes there are nuances to ensuring the content works right for each page. The team has been helpful with resolving any issues in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a very low-skill employee population when it comes to technology, especially modern applications/platforms. Whatfix is helping with the change management and training to help with adoption and reduce support inquiries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whatfix?

Prompt, reliable customer service from our customer success manager. Additionally, the product works exactly as advertised!

Our CSM always prioritizes our business needs and is willing to go above and beyond to provide us with solutions that work with us. This includes the prompt return of emails and phone calls, solution oriented customer service, and willingness to escalate any issues that we're encountering until they are promptly and satisfactorily resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whatfix?

Flows sometimes timeout. This is a limitation of the technology and often user error. However, it is hard to tell via analytics whether or not it is user error or another reason. This is something that Whatfix is actively addressing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Whatfix:

Be sure to lay out your build strategy first, and make sure you have a strong project plan to avoid scope creep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whatfix?

The amount of options and flexibility allowed in creating the different content types is amazing. We can't wait to get all our content laid out and see the benefits to our customers. Whatfix support is also amazing in their response time and responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whatfix?

It will take some time to build up all the content that we need but that's to be expected with something like this. Also, some of the different customizations and element selections require more than a basic level of knowledge with Javascript/CSS selectors and such which can be difficult to learn on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Building documentation for commonly performed tasks and questions. Allowing the customer to find answers without having to make a call/email to us. This allows us more time to create the content and focus it where it needs to be as well as improving our own knowledge and software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayatri Karthy of Whatfix

Thank you for your positive feedback on Whatfix's customization options and support. We understand that building content can be time-consuming, but we believe that the end result will greatly benefit your customers. If you encounter any challenges with the more advanced customizations, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team for assistance.

Whatfix has been a game changer when helping to support the onboarding of new users to our platforms. We can easily set up task lists and flows to help guide new users through the platform with support. It gives our new users confidence as they master workflows.

The customer service at Whatfix is top-notch! I have worked with several individuals at Whatfix and they are truly there to help and support in any way they can. If you are willing to invest the time, you will not be disappointed with Whatfix! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whatfix?

I can't really say this is a dislike, but there is a learning curve. However, Whatfix has a plethora of resources to help support you as you learn. I have done online courses and worked 1-on-1 with members of their to team to help me feel confident in my knowledge and use of Whatfix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Whatfix is helping us with decreasing time of onboarding for new users with our many platforms. We are able to cut down our 1-on-1 training with new users by implementing task lists, flows, and smart tips within the platform geared toward new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whatfix?

Overall, our company uses WhatFix for many things. Self-help, storing reference guides, pop-ups, user workflow assistance, etc., for our customers to use our product. It helps our customers better understand how to use our SaaS tool.

I recently used the WhatFix survey functionality to implement an NPS In-App survey for my company. There was a bit of a learning curve for me and a few tweaks we needed to make, but the survey was a success after testing well, and we are looking forward to using it again in the future. We did do some customization for our survey with their development team and she was really easy to work with and a great communicator.

Their customer success team and support live chat are exceptional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whatfix?

I cannot think of anything in particular I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whatfix?

In our experience, Whatfix has been a huge time-saver. We no longer have to rely on our internal development teams or wait through lengthy development cycles—we can handle most tasks on our own. When we need custom publishing with logical steps or even JavaScript support, the Whatfix team is always there to help. Their expertise is impressive. I love how their support team goes above and beyond. They’re front-end geniuses and can assist with any challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whatfix?

There's nothing wrong with Whatfix—they're always improving their features and adding new ones to make things easier for us. Plus, our Customer Success Manager, Siddhart, is always checking in to see if we need anything. He quickly answers our questions and handles whatever we ask him. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Whatfix, we can quickly share important information with our platform users and guide them step by step through navigating the platform. This not only ensures they get the information they need right away but also reduces the need for them to contact our support center, saving time for both our users and our team. Whatfix helps us publish and host content easily, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayatri Karthy of Whatfix

We're thrilled to hear that Whatfix has been a time-saver for you and that our support team has been able to assist with your needs. Thank you for sharing your positive experience!

What do you like best about Whatfix?

We provided virtual professional development for adult learners. One of our primary goals is to allow them as much agency as possible to guide their own experience and spend their time in a way that feels effective. A big part of the effective use of their time is getting in-app support right when they need it. Whatfix has been an important addition to our overall system of support for our learners.

I also can't speak highly enough about the implementation team that helped get to an initial launch. Thoughtful, professional, and supportive. They walked us through a clear process that felt strategic and like a true collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whatfix?

With any sophisticated tool, there is a bit of a learning curve for sure. Not necessarily a plug-and-play sort of tool but that is not what we were looking for either. However, their team helped walk us through all of this with both asynchronous learning and live event training support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Whatfix allows us to let our users be more self-directed in their system onboarding experience as well as find ongoing support around our programs. This has allowed us to primarily focus our live events on building meaningful connections and less time on troubleshooting systems use and answering common questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayatri Karthy of Whatfix

We're thrilled to hear that Whatfix has been such a valuable addition to your professional development efforts. Our team is dedicated to providing thoughtful and supportive implementation to ensure a successful launch.

The thing that sticks out to me most about WhatFix is its wide range of resourceful tools. From workflows to the ability to integrate with our knowledge base, WhatFix continues to provide easy-to-use tools to help facilitate our users thus giving them a better overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whatfix?

There isn't much I dislike about WhatFix. I appreciate the work they do and the support they provide. I do wish there was more automation to analytics and have brought that up, which I feel good about considering they do a good job of listening to requests and making something their customers will enjoy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

WhatFix has become the way our users not only conduct their self-paced training but also expand the materials within that training to provide a self-service widget. With the QuickRead feature, its not long till our users can experience a customer service bot to seamlessly answer their questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayatri Karthy of Whatfix

We're glad to hear that you find Whatfix's wide range of tools resourceful and easy to use. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to work on improving our automation and analytics capabilities.

The training and support to launch complex guided workflows and self help tools. There are multiple options to provide just in time support and information so users can complete their work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whatfix?

If you're not careful with how you configure things you can end up with too many distracting pop-ups. To avoid this, test each scenario to ensure you didn't over-do the help tips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Users were missing crucial steps or inputs, which were causing errors in our programs. We can easily onboard more users now that they have instant access to help guides and are directed how to properly complete their tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
