Nexthink vs. WalkMe

I've been managing desktops for 20+ years and Nexthink was the missing tool out of my toolbox. Just to give some perspective, if you were building and maintaining a house, Nexthink would be comparable to switching up from a hammer and nails and to full blown using a nailgun. Nexthink is a solution accelerator and a well thought out toolset to give you the customer experience at a glance. It allows for so much more visibility just with the default set of data points the Collector (agent) gathers, which is A LOT, and grants you the ability to gather even more data with remote actions. All of this evidence cuts how the "it could possibly be this" and "maybe it's that" discussions when you're troubleshooting an issue. It may not provide the exact answer all the time, but it gives you a "compass point" on where you need to start looking to resolve the issue. Also the service monitoring, activity monitoring, and critical event thresholds really empower the teams to know when a problem is happening and they can get ahead of it before the first call even reaches the Help Desk. Nexthink is a cornerstone tool in our environment for end user experience and I'm excited to see where the go next.

WalkMe is a great tool to support digital transformation efforts at an organization--it can reduce the training/learning time for both the users and the creators. It can also support onboarding, change management, data integrity, and creating a seamless connection between platforms and many others. It's not a tool for simple, intuitive platforms that do not change frequently.

• Engage with end users via pop-up comms
• Identify root cause of a problem
• Investigate systems that have similar traits that need to be addressed
• Run remote actions making support easier to provide
• Drive upgrade or EOL projects (example identifying users of IE to move them to Edge/Chrome
• Identify application users down to the version level

• No more communicating via email - conditional shoutouts to relay a message
• Automating processes to increase productivity and reduce frustration
• Fabulous analytics
• Training at the point of need - no more searching for the relevant training elsewhere
• Adding a link to automatically start any WalkMe solution from anywhere using 'Permalinks' is great!

• Sometimes it's a bit of a task when we spot an issue and need to provide machine logs for Nexthink to investigate. I believe this isn't the case when you go and use Nexthink cloud.
• I think the documentation can be improved. It can be very hard to follow and lacks detail.

• I would like to see some way to manage versions of the help from release to release, as currently the only way to see/roll a help item back to a time in the past is to revert to that time.
• We had run into some issues with duplicating images in the Assets Library, but that has just been fixed!

WalkMe has done a great job of making their tool easy to use. However because it is a Firefox plugin it causes me to need another browser and sacrifice the left 2 - 3 inches of my display, when working on a laptop this makes it a bit painful. Also when publishing you can organize your list of walk-thrus, the window size is small and limited to the constraints of the WalkMe tool.

The WalkMe Support Team was phenomenal. My support rep made a genuine effort to ensure my success with using the WalkMe Software. She was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable on the software. If there was a question she did not know the answer too, she would find the answer and get back to me as soon as possible

We have explored using other end-user experience management tools but Nexthink stood out to us as the best option. It is very easy to get started with Nexthink using their "Nexthink Learn" platform. From there the integration of the different product offerings was seamless. Nexthink provides a wide variety of library packs that come ready to use out the box, simply import them and start using them. The customisable dashboards have given our product and service owners more visibility than they've ever had before. The Nexthink community is one of the best I have been a part of, everyone is actively sharing ideas and promoting innovation. Nexthink regularly hosts user groups that bring their clients together to discuss use cases and the value they have generated using the tool. They are also very transparent with their roadmap and what they are working on, ensuring the focus is aligned to the needs of the customer.

I couldn't successfully implement this product for trial and found support help was delayed. In comparison, despite also being based in another country, WalkMe's support was quick to help with queries and always eager to address the issue and go above and beyond to make sure I had the information I needed.

• The biggest ROI has been how Nexthink has helped us is with regards to time. Due to Nexthink, we are able to find/resolve issues much faster due to the great detail that Nexthink shows regarding a device history.
• Nexthink allows us to be proactive in our troubleshooting. This is a huge ROI, as it provides a summary of our users issues they are facing, and we can then prioritize our time with reaching out to the end users to solve issues before they become major problems for the end user later.

• 79% of our customers using a walk-thru agree that it has made it easy to handle their issue.
• WalkMe has helped us lower costs associated with phone and ticket based support. Using WalkMe to promote self help over ticket creation has reduced our ticket contacts by 50%.
• Many on our development team are leery of WalkMe. It is allowing someone outside of their department access to modify the user experience. However our leadership teams have been onboard with it.
