GoSquared vs. Mouseflow

It works best for real time customer relations and monitoring. For historic data use it with another tool. Other than that it is an amazingly easy to use, and to set up tool. Once you start using it, you will never go back.

These types of tools are not inexpensive so we pick and choose the site we are going to run it on. We do not generally use Mouseflow on websites that are not monetized in some way. However, if a web site has to perform a function such as sales, calls to action, etc. then this tool can make the job of making a page do what it is meant to do much easier. I think with the sophistication of both Web Site and Web Site users these types of tools are essential to creating the best UX possible.

• Support - These guys are super quick at getting back to you when you need help and always friendly
• Live stats - GoSquared is addictive, it offers detailed information about visitors to your pages in realtime, you'll be watching the dashboard for hours!
• Ease of use - From the guided setup to the usability of the dashboard GoSquared is really straightforward

• It can integrate easily with any platform that we use, like Magneto.
• Anyone can use it without any thorough training. Also, videos are available to give an overview of the tool.
• Free trial is available to get an insight into Mouseflow.
• It is absolutely secure to use on your website.
• The data captured or recorded by Mouseflow is pretty easy to read. You just need to login to your account and a dashboard will open consisting of all the recordings and heatmaps captured.

• CloudFlare integration is spotty - stats in Cloudflare (tracks also Javascript off visits) and GoSquared stats are often significantly at odds
• Notifications don't seem to work very well
• Dashboard likes to re-set itself even when it was arranged & saved previously
• Weekly/ Monthly/ Yearly absolute numbers

• Screen recording on mobile devices can be a little clunky.
• I would like to only record sessions from a specific geographic area, but don't have the option. I can filter afterwards, but would prefer to exclude traffic that is not local altogether.
• Filtering options don't allow me to filter recordings based on a partial URL.

Not only does the GoSquared application work well, the GoSquared team is constantly making improvements. When I first started using GoSquared, they only offered daily reporting -- now they offer the weekly and monthly feature per popular request. I like that they are always updating the look and feel of the website and emails they send to maintain a modern look. GoSquared is easy to implement and easy to use!

GoSquared makes it easy to get started, providing everything you need to integrate the code into your site and start seeing and analyzing data

Mouseflow is pretty easy to use. You need to be a core technical person to implement it on your site. Mouseflow provided us a tracking code that need to be installed on the website, and if do not have the knowledge of how to work on the backend of the website, you will not be able to install it. Here you will need the help of a technical person who has a good knowledge of your website platform to install the code on the website. There are also videos available giving insight on how to use the Mouseflow platform. I personally haven't faced any problem while using Mouseflow. Just login to this tool and a dashboard will open in front of you.

The GoSquared team has always gone above and beyond to create the best analytics platform and provide top notch

This is an area where Mouseflow is quite strong. Not only is the support good but they also have some very good training on the use of the product. There is a nicely laid out section of videos that not only cover the use of the tools functions but also how to use the data that Mouseflow produces. They are doing well in the support area.

GoSquared suited us much better than the two alternatives that we evaluated. We were already an Intercom user but GoSqured suited our requirements much better. The look and feel of the product is a subjective topic but I personally felt that GS does a better job here. Also, I will recommend any potential customer of GS to check out Mixpanel as well, they have a very competent product and you can't go wrong with either of the options.

Each of these tools has a similar underlying offering. Mouseflow is probably the least mature offering in terms of feature set and reliability, but it is a competitor product that is working hard to work out the engineering kinks. They also have great customer service representative who are willing to listen and are very helpful. You also get a capable tool with a great feature set at a reasonable price - in some cases Mouseflow was just 1/10th of the price. Ultimately with a constrained marketing budget, this tool made sense for us.

• GoSquared helps us to react quickly to high volumes of traffic, and allows us to identify very quickly how engaging our content is
• Using browser specs helps us to ensure our websites are compatible with as many of our customers as possible, rather than relying on generic global stats

• MouseFlow makes a positive impact on our future marketing decisions. We recently had a change in formula for a product and added a variety of ways for people to read about the changes via our website. Mouseflow allowed us to see which method was effective in communicating our message. We were able to replicate the style on other digital platforms.
• Mouseflow allows us to save time we would normally spend in developing a website. For example, before building a new website I will spend a couple of weeks analyzing user data via mouseflow. I can clearly see what features are not currently working and where we are loosing people in the current process. This cuts down website revisions by about 10%
