Manager at Charter Communications
Customer journeys have become clearer and real-time insights now highlight needed reporting improvements
One improvement I want to mention is that the way I had Glassbox set up was through the data layer; I am a technical person, so I used a Google Dev screen to search within Glassbox for segments rather than using the Adobe API connection, which I think would have been preferable since others have reported better success with that. I give Glassbox a seven because I would have preferred it connected through Adobe rather than through the data layer, which complicates training for non-technical staff to build custom reports; having the Adobe API set up would have made finding Adobe segments easier.

Great granular DOM level with excellent analytics and reporting
There are three valuable areas: One of them is the granular DOM level where it captures behaviors on the application. Another is the analytics, because you don't need to provide it with a rule to identify the issues, it will analyze the usage of all the customers accessing that site and see if there are any abnormalities and it will identify unexpected changes in the pattern and that there is something wrong that needs to be checked out. That is extremely useful. Finally, the ability to create meaningful reports and dashboards to tell stories. The reports enable you to re-target customers if they've had any problems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have seen a return on investment, having saved a lot of money and time."
"Glassbox is a tool I use all the time; it is one of our most popular tools."
"The customer support is nice; we have a quite strict partnership with continuous feedback, workshops, and they are listening to us because the client is quite important, so it is fine."
"Glassbox has reduced the turnaround time of customer incidents, and it is saving a lot of time and money for us."
"Glassbox positively impacted our organization because we got a one-stop solution to track all different journeys, different dashboards, and different applications."
"I have noted a return on investment since employees previously took two days to manually identify data, but now they complete the same work within four hours thanks to Glassbox, which reduces working hours and translates into cost savings for us."
"Glassbox has helped us reduce the time required to investigate customer issues, improve digital experience, and make data-driven decisions."
"Glassbox has helped us save considerable money and time."
"The ability to create meaningful reports and dashboards to tell stories."
"You can let your imagination think about a use case and if it's related to customer behavior on the district channels, it can most probably be done."
 

Cons

"One frustration I have experienced with Glassbox is that with large amounts of session data, it could sometimes take time to filter and narrow down the exact user journey I want to analyze."
"Glassbox is not the best when it comes to back-end data and capturing things such as server time and response time."
"I choose a seven because, despite helping in user behavior and error counting, session replays have been a significant pain point for me, and UI navigation can become complex."
"There are sometimes issues with Glassbox itself where some alerts do not get captured or the GIA integration does not show correct results, but it is being learned and improving."
"Glassbox is not stable in my experience. Glassbox often has downtime and technical issues; reports are not loading and there are login errors."
"I give Glassbox a seven because I would have preferred it connected through Adobe rather than through the data layer, which complicates training for non-technical staff to build custom reports; having the Adobe API set up would have made finding Adobe segments easier."
"Glassbox can be improved because it is somewhat complex and there is a steep learning curve that requires training."
"Glassbox can be improved in various ways. I think performance and lag are areas needing improvements."
"An area that can be improved is on the technical side where you identify an event."
"The technical side requires development skills during implementation. This could be simplified."
