Pros / Cons
  • I like the heat mapping tool on Hotjar, which allows you to see where there is the most interest on your page, as well as how a user navigates your webpage
  • Also, in the recording sections, you can easily get overwhelmed by not-relevant recordings, where users just idle.

  • Lighthouse Studio has clear interface that allows you quickly create professional surveys that are user friendly for respondents. But, under the hood, this software is incredibly robust and allows for complex programming and survey design that will satisfy even the most demanding research practitioners.
  • Our company uses another platform for programming surveys (Voxco) and the client software for it is clumsy, and the web app lacks many of the basic features I uses for almost all surveys I program.
