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.

Guidance has reduced support tickets but still needs faster steps and better interface clarity
The approval process is one of the good features of WalkMe, as it tells us what needs to be done properly. In-app guidance features definitely help my users better navigate complex software, as it usually reduces a lot of tickets that are raised by end users. Users are often unable to view some information or do not know how to proceed with the next steps. The in-app guidance reduces a lot of tickets that are getting logged to the L1 team. Since this feature is already provided to end users, they can solve issues on their own, which helps reduce the ticket volumes being logged into Salesforce. WalkMe has impacted my organization overall by reducing the ticket volume and turnaround time by approximately 7%. Earlier, we used to get 70 tickets, and now the ticket volume has come down to about 50 or 55. For an overall year, the ticket volume has gone down to about 200 or 250 tickets, which means less time is spent by the L1 teams.

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 gives us the ability to develop user assistance directly in our software, without redirecting users to online content or videos."
"Overall, WalkMe exceeded our expectations."
"Customer Service: A+, excellent, and our support advisor, Doug Sykes, was great, polite, understanding, patient, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the entire process, and I highly recommend working with him."
"With Walkme installed we were able to simplify and expedite the customer on-boarding and adoption process."
"Onboarding alone has saved our Implementation and Subject Matter Expert teams countless hours of work in demos and training calls."
"In my opinion, the best features WalkMe offers are mainly the faster route of onboarding users, since the use of WalkMe reduces support tickets, it gives us user context and we get natively integrated with the software we are using and all the platforms we have."
"If you have a lot of steps to on-board your users and have a web product that is fairly complex to grasp, I highly recommend WalkMe."
"WalkMe takes the focus off the admin to provide training and empowers the users to click on the walk-thru's."
 

Cons

"Customer support was very good at the beginning, but they changed their structure and customer support declined after that."
"There is always scope to improve WalkMe. The interactions and the UI interaction could improve somewhat."
"Occasionally the system runs a little slowly, which can be frustrating to some of our fast paced end users, but that is more due to the robust number of Walk Thrus our team has created."
"The time needed to get started was far beyond what the sales team described in the sales process."
"The app is sometimes sluggish and has a steep learning curve for users who are trying to build WalkMes and are not tech savvy."
"WalkMe is not an inexpensive tool, so it should be implemented broadly to make the investment worthwhile."
"WalkMe can be improved, particularly for larger enterprises, as there are challenges regarding audience targeting for lower-level SMB sectors."
"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 have not kept up with WalkMe over the years between 2019 and now, so I am not quite sure how it can be improved."
