Featured Reviews

Navcharan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer

Have improved decision-making with effective reporting
Several positive aspects about the product stand out as advantages. Valuable insights can be gained from the unsampled reports available in the product. The cloud type needs to be specified whether it's public, private, or hybrid. The overall rating for Google Analytics 360 is 9 out of 10, where 10 represents the best product.
Adam Michalik - PeerSpot reviewer
Product Manager, Digital Experience Analytics at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Long-term analytics have improved tracking of digital task performance and user adoption
Strategy and development strategy are heavily focused on AI, and I think that for medium and small organizations which don't have a very vast IT stack, this might be the right approach. However, for big enterprises, WalkMe should focus more on developing their existing features and capabilities with the main focus on data and analytics, which feels like it has been stalled for quite some time. Over the past two years, there has not really been any groundbreaking development in that area. I think that the limited integration capability of WalkMe with the back end of the underlying applications is a limitation. On the other hand, the easy configuration and lack of the need for backend or more thorough technical integration is a huge positive aspect of WalkMe, but it is also its biggest weakness because the ability to pull in additional data from other systems is limited. Because it is not a perfect product, there is definitely room for improvement when it comes to the development of new features and the further development of the key capabilities. It is by far the leading digital adoption platform in the market, setting the example and leading the entire industry. I think that it does not deserve a rating of 10 because I was able to identify the room for improvement, but I would also like to recognize their position in the market.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Provides us with useful data and analytics about website traffic, giving us information about how to make our web pages better."
"Every online business needs to know where traffic is coming from and what it does when it gets to you."
"The User Explorer is a definite favorite because it allows us to pinpoint a user and check their entire journey through our website including all the events triggered and the pages visited."
"As an SEO and digital marketing professional, the two features I have found the most valuable about Google Analytics are the Acquisition tracking and the Goal tracking."
"Tracking of the website visitors and web page analysis became an easy task."
"Once you get the hang of GA, you can really use it to your advantage."
"Even though it's free, Google Analytics is packed with many of the same reports you'll find in high-priced solutions, especially concerning data relating to real-time visitor tracking."
"It's got incredible depth, yet it’s free."
"Onboarding alone has saved our Implementation and Subject Matter Expert teams countless hours of work in demos and training calls."
"My company believes that WalkMe provides better guidance with Walk-throughs, Shoutouts, and videos than the in-app help that is offered by default at my company."
"WalkMe has positively impacted my organization with better change management, quicker onboarding, and fewer support tickets sent through from users using the product."
"WalkMe has positively impacted my customers or their organizations because they save significantly more time, and because employees can find information exactly where they need it, they can devote themselves to other tasks thanks to this time savings."
"We implemented Workday on all three major pieces: HCM, finance, and SCM, which was a huge company-wide implementation, reducing support tickets by eighty percent in the first two weeks after going live with WalkMe."
"In my opinion, the best features WalkMe offers are mainly the faster route of onboarding users, since the use of WalkMe reduces support tickets, it gives us user context and we get natively integrated with the software we are using and all the platforms we have."
"WalkMe has positively impacted organizations, as from an enterprise level, it deals with software that employees use daily, particularly in a financial setting where a lot of client and data management happens."
"Customer Service: A+, excellent, and our support advisor, Doug Sykes, was great, polite, understanding, patient, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the entire process, and I highly recommend working with him."
 

Cons

"There is a time lag of 4 hours for the tracking to get updated in the system."
"One area that Analytics falls short is in creating a report archive."
"Additionally, Google Analytics can be hard to pick up when you're just starting to use it."
"Beginner users access the live help section a lot, because of how confusing it is, so it would not be bad if the function was located within the administration section."
"An area where I would like to see improvement in Google Analytics is the auto-syncing of functions in Google Tag Manager into Goal tracking."
"While it provides a lot of data, the data is not always accurate. So data accuracy could definitely be improved."
"Not the right product if you need detailed click stream analysis or integration with your firm's customer segmentation."
"If you do not use JavaScript, you will be invisible to Google Analytics. If you have the option of JavaScript disabled in your browsers, you will be invisible to the data, since the tool will not be able to register you."
"I do not have data regarding return on investment; as I mentioned, we are in a beta phase, so there is not a return on investment yet."
"WalkMe does have room for improvement."
"I found a flaw, and nobody believed me."
"The time needed to get started was far beyond what the sales team described in the sales process."
"WalkMe is not capable of running everywhere, and there is a very high—or comparatively high—manual effort required."
"I would rate WalkMe a nine, maybe an eight due to some price features."
"Occasionally the system runs a little slowly, which can be frustrating to some of our fast paced end users, but that is more due to the robust number of Walk Thrus our team has created."
"While I am working with WalkMe, sometimes the application is crashing and it is not stable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The installation cost is really low and does not require a team with a super performance to run."
