Great capabilities but also some downsides

What do you like best? I love how it takes great heatmaps and recordings What do you dislike? The form and funnel feature don't work too well. The form feature doesn't work in a cart which is probably one of the places we would like to see work. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We can move stories on a site page to a higher position to see if more people click there.

Nice combination of features

What do you like best? Creating surveys is super easy, it's the best feature of HotJar for me. What do you dislike? Sometimes heatmaps loads on a wrong image. Hotjar added a feature to load new screenshot, but it doesn't work very well. But it's getting better : Recommendations to others considering the product: Try to make use of every feature they have, it really can help you understand your users. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? ...

Response from Alex Jost of Hotjar edit Hi Guarav, Thanks for taking the time to review Hotjar! It's great to hear that you find it easy to implement both the behavior and feedback tools we offer. To your point about lacking depth of tracking survey questions - I'd love to know a bit more about what you mean with this. Is this to do with types of questions we offer in our feedback tools, or more to do with reporting? We're always open for suggestions! Thanks again! Alex
