Considered Both Products

Chose Fullstory
Microsoft Clarity - good product, free.
Chose Fullstory
I think other tools are either too heavy or complicated to implement and / or understand. Full story has a super light weight feel to the system and works magically. I implemented Mixpanel once and the entire team struggled with it before replacing it with Full Story after …
Chose Fullstory
Fullstory is really the best at session recording. They are adding new and more features to become more competitive with other web analytics tools (like Pendo, Heap, and GA). But we ultimately keep them because they make it so easy to actually see how people interact with your …
Chose Fullstory
FullStory is a unique blend of product analytics + playback sessions.
Chose Fullstory
Hotjar is better for marketing websites. Doesn't have a native mobile component. Cheaper per session but doesn't have journey mapping.
Chose Fullstory
I have not selected or evaluated other products.
Chose Fullstory
Microsoft Clarity is not on the list. This one is not even close though. 4 years ago there was not much competition unless you paid a fortune for the big survey companies. I see there are many more out there now, and may start looking now that the prices are not as affordable …
Chose Fullstory
It's a good value for money as well and it works well on websites
Chose Fullstory
Most of the tools we evaluated just didn't have the depth of analysis that we needed. Content Square looked GREAT but it was a much higher price point.
Chose Fullstory
HotJar is built for marketers, whereas FullStory is for product teams, but the tool still stacks up well against HotJar. It has feature parity and is a little more intuitive to use.
Chose Fullstory
We don't use anything else that is close to what Fullstory does. If anything Intercom would be the closest however we use them together to offer the best support possible.
Chose Fullstory
FullSory is more advanced and the implementation with other tools makes it very convenient for us.
Chose Fullstory
FullStory is very easy to use and very comprehensive compared to it's competitors
Chose Fullstory
Based on the functionality & support we've scoped for FullStory, we have much more in terms of capability and expertise than we've had in the past.

Lead Forensics
Chose Lead Forensics
This was a customer decision (we are a marketing agency), but Lead Forensics stacks up well against the competitors. As an agency, we like more data, but for what the sales team needed in Lead analysis from the website, this is a powerful tool.
Chose Lead Forensics
the personal support is great. Jaleesa is really sharp
Chose Lead Forensics
I’ve used SalesIntel primarily for contact data, but I haven’t explored its web tracking features. What sets Lead Forensics apart is how quickly it delivers actionable insights from site visits. It helps me identify engaged accounts and prioritize follow-up without extra …
Chose Lead Forensics
We do not have many like this. Salesintel is also very different, but I say I get more sales from Lead Forensics.
Chose Lead Forensics
I personally use sales intel in tandem with Lead Forensics. They provide different set of data. Lead Forensics is a great tool for helping open up to new markets that you might not have realized existed. It’s an excellent tool for anyone in any facet of sales, worth the money …
Chose Lead Forensics
Lead Forensics offers a simpler user journey and is very cost-effective! Additionally, the customer service I've received has been phenomenal. Our Customer Success Manager schedules monthly check-ins to ensure we get the most out of the platform and helps us address any issues …
Chose Lead Forensics
Lead Forensics was the only platform we evaluated that offered the ability to search for contacts by specific departments—a key factor in our decision to move forward with it.
Chose Lead Forensics
Lead Forensics is definitely more economical for a team and provides a lot more information on companies while also still providing the insights on contacts working for the company.

I have never used anything similar to LF.
Chose Lead Forensics
It is more expensive but in my experience you get what you pay for - the quality of data in others has not compared.
Chose Lead Forensics
Back in 2013, we used to run Marketo and a big appeal of it was its IP inference ability. In my opinion, Lead Forensics is a more "complete" product, love the ability that I can drop it in multiple websites and not having an increase in cost, love the granularity of the reports …
Chose Lead Forensics
I had previous experience of the product so the selection process was more about integration with our new CRM and the ability to be able to set up quickly and the onboarding team were fantastic
Chose Lead Forensics
Lead Forensics data was more accurate and in-depth. I pay more for it but get a larger volume of leads. I also find the contacts to be better too. I did a test between the two and the accountant manager was less salesy and helped me learn the product and its benefits.
Chose Lead Forensics
LF consistently identifies more companies than any tool we have used. We run comparisons about twice a year just to see if there is a better tool, haven't found one in 7 years.
Chose Lead Forensics
Lead Forensics offers more detailed insights to the customers or potential customers. It also notifies me of website traffic; we don't have another tool that is better then Lead Forensics. I do like Zoom--it has a lot more contact info and allows you to filter the results to …
Chose Lead Forensics
Lead Forensics is a leader on its side, but the other platforms can do more tracking and give you more details about the visits and can target to an exact person. They are all great tools and each one has its [own] special ability to help you close more deals.
Chose Lead Forensics
Previously, we used HubSpot and Pardot, neither of which had the depth of data matching needed to report relevant visits in our B2B environment.

Likelihood to Recommend
It was extremely useful in identifying places in our product where things weren't functioning, or where it looked like action was available to the end user but in reality, it was not and therefore caused lots of confusion. It doesn't help as much in other scenarios to see what catches a user's Eye or where they go if they leave our application as well as an actual in-person interview would help with eye-tracking software.

When you have people coming to your website and you want to know which pages they look at, how long they are there, and when they leave. Also when you want to know their industry, their company, and what led them to your website. You can really get a customer profile.

Pros
  • Tracks users' online experiences from start to finish.
  • Makes it easy to share a customer's experiences with the rest of my team.
  • Allows me to use different methods to find evidence of a customer's experience.

  • Lead Forensics helps us see which companies are visiting our site, even if they don’t fill out a form. This gives us a chance to reach out to businesses that are already showing interest but might not have contacted us yet.
  • Instead of cold-calling random prospects, we can see which pages a company has viewed and how often they return. This helps us tailor our conversations based on what they’re actually interested in.
  • The Lead Forensics support team has been great whenever we’ve had questions. They’re quick to respond and always ready to help, whether it’s troubleshooting an issue or offering advice on how to get the most out of the platform.

Cons
  • Can be a little confusing to know the exact time something happened, in local time or customer time? That's helpful for engineering to look into log files.
  • When looking for a specific session, it would be nice if you have a easier list of sessions with a little more info to choose from
  • It would be nice to be able to save flagged sessions and annotations under my profile to reference later

  • Better updates on companies' current names. Often if a company was a different company years ago it still says the old company name which is confusing.
  • Better identifying the correct location. Sometimes it seems like that the location coming up is the wrong location.
  • Giving a better understanding of how they got to the website would help too. Often is says "direct" but I would like to know if it was via a link from an email or what

The metrics are hard to understand at times and inaccurate to the point of being unusable. I stopped pulling them and solely rely on Adobe Analytics for them. So far, I've only used FS to watch sessions and determine behaviors

Lead Forensics dashboard is fantastic. Lets me see what companies are hitting what parts of the website so I know what to offer them. Often times I’ll offer one thing, only to get told no. Then the client goes to the website and pokes around at other things we offer. Then they reach out to me asking about different services, or next time I reach out I can offer what they were looking at.

Yes, that is correct. FullStory has a dedicated support team that is available to assist with any issues or questions. The team is known for being responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful, and they are committed to ensuring that users get the most out of the FullStory platform. They helped us a lot to implement it with our web app

[Their] support is great, [whether] you call or send in an email. They are always friendly and willing to help. Anytime I can’t figure something out and need to reach out, I always get a response back quick[ly] - and they will always offer to go in and make the change, but I like when they show me so I can do it next time.

Implementation Rating
I was not involved in the initial implementation, but I have found it easy to pick up and use without any guidance, so it's very user-friendly, intuitive, and not difficult to get a sense of use, though it may be more difficult to master (I am not a Fullstory master... yet!).

Fullstory is really the best at session recording. They are adding new and more features to become more competitive with other web analytics tools (like Pendo, Heap, and GA). But we ultimately keep them because they make it so easy to actually see how people interact with your site. It is one thing to see a report that says customers fall off a page, it is another thing to actually be able to watch what they do as they fall off.

Return on Investment
  • We reduced our payment error rate by 20% using FullStory.
  • Our product design team is able to get initial designs approved 95% of the time using FullStory data in order to explain to our stakeholders the reasoning behind decisions. We also do a before-and-after analysis, and we either net out the same with the new designs (just improved visuals) or improve the metric of whatever was designed. More often than not, we improve the metric.
  • We decreased the time to A/B testing insights by 50%.
  • We can usually visualize a production issue via FullStory within 10 minutes.

  • We are still in the very early stages of using Lead Forensics for our agency, but I can see that it could already be very useful to us as we haven't had insights like this previously.
  • Our very first use case with Lead Forensics was with a brand-new client and I would say it went exceptionally well. We were running a large media campaign for them, and it was very insightful to see how those specific businesses were getting to the site and what page they were going to. Like mentioned previously, this helped their very small sales team to go after businesses they know were interested in them.
