Overall Satisfaction with VWO
Pros
- VWO A/B tests are easy to set up. I like that we can input our own HTML/CSS/js.
- Surveys are nice. I like the new feature of being able to see some recordings of sessions who answered the survey.
- Overall, the recordings are very useful. We have set up some recordings to even verify/debug some issues we were seeing on our site.
Cons
- Setting up specific goals or events is sometimes hard. our goals/events/clicks are not always straight forward as "if user clicks this thing" which means we have to do extra set up.
- Form tracking has been a pain, especially with forms that don't have a "submit" button - our checkout process. being able to funnel from delivery/pickup, delivery address form, to payment type, payment form, and submit, it has been difficult. we have dynamic forms with unique id per each session, which also required extra set up. We had an issue with the form only capturing the latest submit, rather than all submits. Even with it set up, the form tracking doesn't seem to capture how we would want.
- We have tested variations of enhancements that in turn, lead to more sales.
- Setting up some form tracking caused an issue in Internet Explorer, so we had to remove the tracking.
- Optimizely and Qualtrics
I have used Qualtrics in the past. It is very good for survey creation and logic. I know some logic was just implemented in VWO. qualtric surveys are great, but seemingly too detailed for a simple website survey. It would be nice to be able to send a longer survey to users who answered a certain way or did a certain action through VWO.
