### "Useful to understand how your page perform"

November 15, 2022

5.0

Pros

The software is easy to set-up, it works as it should and the team behind it is very responsive and helpful! For us, it was the perfect alternative when HotJar's cost became not justifiable.

Cons

I'd like to be able to ignore completely the traffic coming from geographic areas outside of our most important markets.

### "Best in the industry"

October 9, 2023

5.0

We've previously used Hotjar and tried to set up our own proprietary system, neither of which worked well for us.Hotjar's pricing is considerably higher and provides less helpful data than Howuku. Hotjar also requires more setup as events have to be manually tracked using custom tracking code.

Pros

The setup was very easy compared to some competitors, I'm a huge fan of the automated event tracking which automatically sets up events for any buttons/forms on our site.

Cons

Nothing really, it's worked great, especially after we've had issues with similar companies.

Reason for choosing Howuku

RRweb is the backbone of a lot of these products, the problem is that it's hard to optimize, and file sizes can become huge

Switched from

[Hotjar](https://www.capterra.com/p/163516/Hotjar/)

Hotjar's pricing + poor ease of use - We got locked out of our accounts all the time, especially because we managed multiple websites from one account.

### "It is very useful for our educational website"

May 17, 2023

5.0

Howuku integrates with a number of other popular website platforms, such as WordPress and Shopify, making it a versatile tool for organization that use multiple tools to manage their online presence.

Pros

Howuku is known for its ease of use and intuitive interface, making it simple for even non-technical users to create and manage website surveys and forms. Howuku offers a range of features, including website heatmaps, conversion funnels, and behavior-based targeting, enabling our organization to gather valuable data about their website visitors and optimize their user experience.It is very beneficial for our special event creation and prospective website visitor monitoring purposes.

Cons

While Howuku offers a range of features, some users have noted that there are limitations to how much they can customize certain elements of their surveys or forms.At the time of writing, Howuku doesn't offer a mobile app or a mobile-optimized version of its website, which may be a drawback for users who need to access the tool on the go.

### "Great tool to check overall user interactions "

December 24, 2022

4.0

Pros

I recently started using a heat map tool for my website and I have been extremely impressed with its performance. The tool is incredibly user-friendly and easy to set up, which was a huge bonus for me as I am not particularly tech-savvy.One of the things I love most about the heat map tool is how it gives me a clear and visual representation of how my website visitors are interacting with my page. It shows me where they are clicking, scrolling, and spending the most time, which has helped me make informed decisions about where to place important information and calls to action.In addition to the user experience benefits, the heat map tool has also helped me improve my website's conversion rate. By identifying areas of my page that were not getting a lot of attention, I was able to make some small changes that have had a big impact on my overall conversion rate.Overall, I am extremely happy with the heat map tool and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their website's performance and user experience.

Cons

One potential downside of the heat map tool is that it can be overwhelming to analyze all of the data that it provides. There is a lot of information to digest, and it can be difficult to know where to focus your attention. However, this is a minor issue and can easily be overcome by breaking down the data into smaller chunks and taking the time to carefully analyze it.

### "One of the best in the market"

December 19, 2022

5.0

I recently started using Howuku as my primary user analytics tool, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The interface is easy to use and intuitive, which made it a breeze to set up and start tracking my website's user behavior.One of the features I love most about Howuku is the ability to create custom segments and track specific groups of users. This has helped me get a much more detailed understanding of how different types of users are interacting with my site, which has been invaluable for improving the user experience.Another thing I appreciate about Howuku is its granular data level. I can see detailed information about each user's journey through my site, which has helped me identify and fix problems causing them to leave.Overall, I highly recommend Howuku to anyone looking for a powerful and user-friendly analytics tool. It has made a huge difference in my ability to understand and improve the experience of my website's users.

Pros

One of the standout features of Howuku is the ability to segment users based on their behavior, which has allowed us to gain deeper insights into how different groups of users interact with our site. This has been incredibly valuable in helping us optimize the user experience and make informed decisions about future development.

Cons

Sometimes, you might encounter minor bugs such as 'page/heatmap doesn't load'. However, the product is in the early stage so this can be ignored.

### "Easy to setup and monitor with great features at a fraction of cost"

September 14, 2023

5.0

Pros

Howuku was really easy to set up on our website without needing to contact support using GTM. The FAQs were very helpful. We installed Howuku to observe customer behaviour on the website and where they are dropping off. The video recordings have helped us a lot with this. Right now we are also testing the funnels to dig deeper into web analytics.

Cons

Using the heatmaps takes a lot longer than expected as once you request a heatmap of a particular webpage, it takes around 2 minutes to generate it, abrupting the flow.

Howuku's interface is intuitive and easy to use, even for someone like me who is not a designer by trade. I was able to quickly import my data and create beautiful, interactive heatmaps that clearly conveyed the insights I was trying to share.Overall, I highly recommend Howuku to anyone looking to add a powerful, visually appealing tool to their data visualization toolkit. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, Howuku has something to offer.
