I think it's well suited to any scenario where something requires feedback, whether it's exploratory feedback of current designs or validation that a new design solves a problem & additional feedback can be gathered to make it even better. I'd recommend UsabilityHub to anybody who isn't 100% sure on a design, and if they are, they need to use it to confirm that certainty.
If we could select 0/10 we would... We would not recommend anyone using this product as it excludes a very important user group, disabled users. If you use this product you will be failing ADA and WCAG 2.1 (EU Directive for public sector websites and mobile apps). In my opinion, you will be vulnerable to lawsuits.
It doesn't gather users from all user groups, it's exclusive to non-disabled users - users with disabilities using assistive technology are not able to access or use the platform
There are extensive colour contrast issues with the platform, making it difficult to use by users with low vision
Usabilla is not accessible to keyboard users (as well as users on other assistive technology) - when the modal is expanded, the background is still focusable
The touch target sizes of the links and buttons are not accessible - it's very difficult to close out of the modal when on mobile, or if a user had a mobility disability and was using a mouse
Due to its simplicity and design it is really easy to navigate. You can clearly understand which sections you have completed and which are still left to be done. It is also really easy to change ordering of content etc, which I have found hasn’t been an option in other tools which means it is a really lengthy task of rewriting all of the tasks or questions to get them in the correct order that is desired.
The interface to configure the questionary is quite easy to use. It helps to give autonomy to marketing teams. Once the initial setup is made (integrating a basic javascript code on your website), you can easily deploy any questionary on any page of your website. Usabilla is a very flexible tool overall.
I haven't contacted support yet to solve a particular issue. I do have an account manager at Usabilla that I talk to in order to introduce the software to my team but this is just to run over the basic functionality in a live demo setting. The ability to talk to a real person over video call is a benefit though.
Maze has a more comprehensive reporting presentation compared to Usabilityhub. Maze's interface is clean and modern but it lacks a simple intuitive testing set found in UsabilityHub. The terminology of a Maze is slightly confusing, flow tests are integrated with only Figma, Xd, Invision, Sketch, and Marvel prototypes. The final test interface shown to users is confusing and could have been simpler like UsabilityHub.
I have Hotjar, Sprig, and Usabilla in my workplace. Usabilla unfortunately has the most limited feature set of the 3 options. The difficulty of administering a Usabilla survey on mobile is a big blocker for my projects. Sprig and Hotjar both allow mobile and allow video recordings (either of a user's screen or a user's webcam for impromptu interviews).
The positive impact of Usabilla has been being able to measure and respond quickly to our customers' feedback so that we can resolve issues quicker or make enhancements faster.
We have also been able to manage and track our NPS scores and correlate these scores to our overall business performance to make sure that our customers' views of our products and processes and in line with our internal understanding and success of the business.
Additionally, the Usabilla team has been willing to provide us with training and ideas on how to use the tool better which has helped our team think more strategically and be more connected to the experiences our customers are having on our web properties.
