Pros
Hotjar is reliable and is the best at what it does. There are other options to help record app sessions, but HotJar continues to do what it does best.
UX plays a very important role for performance marketing and Hotjar is a brilliant tool which helps in collecting user behaviour data to do analysis and take corrective measures.
This is a fantastic way to understand how users are engaging with your site. I am a big fan of Hotjar and the approach to marketing insights.
Cons
This is problem because when a user messages us with a problem and we want to view how he used our website right away, we can't confirm his actions right then and there, only after a few hours.
I was unsatisfied with other Heatmapping and recording software.
Session recordings could have more filtering options and auto detection of rage clicks and ux issues. Unfortunately this tool can slow down your page load.

Awesome for user recordings and heat-maps

Reviewed 5 years ago

The tool is really helpful to better understand your user's experience.

Pros

The insights we got from Hotjar were instantly used by our team. We understood our user's journey and pain points better after reviewing the heatmaps and screen recordings.

Cons

It's fairly expensive. We operate 16 different websites and we only have Hotjar setup on one of the brands because of the cost.

Vendor response

Hey Brent So happy to hear that you found instant value with Hotjar and that it helped you to understand the user's journey better. You are right - once you know the pain points, you can address them a lot easier! With regards to pricing, perhaps it might be better for you to be on a plan that caters for more than 1 site? Do you want to email support@hotjar.com or submit your query here> https://help.hotjar.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000665794&pricingagencies and we can see if we can help suggest a better option for you? Hope this helps! Thanks so much again for your kind review. Bee @ Hotjar

Great tool for visitor tracking

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall, easy to use and start collecting data. I'd use it again if I ever changed companies.

Pros

Very easy to set up tracking code, create heat maps, and start visit recordings. The analytics are easy to understand (clicks, cursor movements, and scrolling).

Cons

There's really not much to complain about. It is a bit of a pain to constantly restart recordings or create a new heatmap, but Hotjar has recently announced that recordings will now be continuous. A big improvement!

Good heatmap and user click tracking

Reviewed 5 years ago

Overall, it provides valuable heatmap and users interaction tracking so we can optimized SEO. It stil is a little creepy though

Pros

It does what it is supposed to do. It shows where users are clicking on your site and gives good detailed information on how users interact with your site.

Cons

It is a little creepy and any active tracking makes the site a little slower. Some users feel their privacy is violated and report it.

Vendor response

Hey there, Thanks so much for taking the time to review us, we appreciate it! We're glad to hear you're getting useful insights from Hotjar. Just wanting to follow up your feedback about Hotjar 'being creepy' and your users feeling their privacy is being violated.

A lot to monitor!

Reviewed 3 months ago
Pros

The ability to use the heatmaps to monitor UX and provide visual representation to offer design alternatives.

Cons

Difficult to breakdown specific users where other platforms have the ability to breakdown from campaigns etc. may have been the package though.

A nice and affordable service to monitor users in your website

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

It's really nice to be able to see the journey a user takes and what it does in your website so you can identify pain points. Heatmaps are also really nice.

Cons

There's nothing we haven't been able to do yet or something we feel it may be missing.
