Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am in the process of evaluating customer support tools to find something that will work well for our website. I initially discovered Stonly because of their knowledge base system, but am super impressed by all their other offerings as well. Its seems likes its a very robust and complete system. I love that they also offer onboarding, tool tips and widgets. I often wondered why most of the onboarding tools lacked comprehensive education options once the customer was onboarded. It seems like the obvious next step. With this in mind, i’m excited that Stonly offers they features. I also like that it offers triggers and analytics. The analytics is especially useful in getting a system on how people are using the resources. Finally, being able to view both flows and funnels is really helpful for finding potential bottlenecks.

Pros

  • knowledge bases
  • company wikis
  • onboarding

Cons

  • more customization
  • More integrations

Stonly seems to be very well positioned to handle both the initial customer onboarding and then the help channels for further education.

Stonly is a fantastic onboarding tool - for developers and content creators

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At my company, we use Stonly to help integrate onboarding guides directly into our application, without needing to build something custom. For example, when we release a new feature, we want the user's to see this feature and get a guided tour on how to use it and point them in the right direction if they have any questions or concerns. Normally, we would need to build this out on our own and we would need engineers to create custom components for each feature. But with Stonly, it's much easier to do so by including their code and allowing content and product team members to handle the rest.

Pros

  • SDK
  • Documentation and developer experience.
  • Creating onboarding guides are super simple.
  • Widgets on our help center are helpful and don't require much effort to create.

Cons

  • More features around tracking and understanding our users.
  • Sometimes run into issues with development and connecting with existing components, which may require rework on our end to get up and running.

Likelihood to Recommend

Unless you have the time and effort to do this on your own, Stonly is a fantastic tool that helped us communicate with our customers without needing to think about it for too long. It is flexible where needed and we noticed that it is constantly improving as time goes on. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to provide their user's more guidance on how to use their applications or free up some time from the developer's workload.
