Customer Success Marketing Manager at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
Targeted in-app messaging has increased event registrations and deepened insight into customer behavior
The best feature Pendo offers is the ability to relatively quickly get a message out to a highly segmented audience, though it does require some work. You can target anybody who hasn't logged in in the past 30 days or anybody who has logged in in the past 30 days, enabling very targeted communications.We saw direct impact on revenue through event registrations. When we did a webinar and invited customers, we could see that approximately 50% of our registrations came from Pendo as opposed to email.It impacted the organization positively because we have much more data as to how people interact with our product when they're in the product itself and what they click on. On a level of one to ten, I would say the impact was a nine.
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

"The best feature Pendo offers is the ability to relatively quickly get a message out to a highly segmented audience, enabling very targeted communications and driving direct impact on revenue through event registrations."
"WalkMe offers excellent features as the best digital adoption platform because it provides excellent training for end users and also guidance through complex and multi-application software environments."
"Onboarding alone has saved our Implementation and Subject Matter Expert teams countless hours of work in demos and training calls."
"Overall, WalkMe has helped support our customers and get them doing the things they should be doing in our app."
"With Walkme installed we were able to simplify and expedite the customer on-boarding and adoption process."
"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."
"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: Does this go to 11? It's rare to encounter customer service that is as responsive and helpful as the folks at WalkMe."
"WalkMe has impacted my organization overall by reducing the ticket volume and turnaround time by approximately 7%."
 

Cons

"Customer support was very good at the beginning, but they changed their structure and customer support declined after that."
"The next thing I'm looking for from WalkMe is better analytics and reporting tools to make the data they track more actionable to allow our team to create better processes and debug the things that are not working."
"I do see that some people sometimes find the price of the license hard to digest, which is an issue in some cases."
"The platform is quite complex for a non-technical person, so it takes a while to fly on the platform on your own without constantly bothering CSMs."
"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 is not an inexpensive tool, so it should be implemented broadly to make the investment worthwhile."
"I have not kept up with WalkMe over the years between 2019 and now, so I am not quite sure how it can be improved."
"There is always scope to improve WalkMe. The interactions and the UI interaction could improve somewhat."
"One drawback I would mention is the high cost overall because the software itself is expensive and not everyone can afford it."
