Userback

Easy to use, feedback and collaboration tool

Kommentare: 90% of our usage is to collaborate with clients during web development. Getting feedback on designs, and more importantly, using feedback widget on the staging website to get clients feedback and make necessary changes. It makes the process extremely smooth and clients have no trouble using Userback to communicate with us. Saves a lot of time and back and forth emails, when conversations are linked to actual screenshots with clients' notes.

Vorteile:

We've used Userback since 2019. First started with placing it on the website and client portal, and then using it during website development to get feedback and collaborate on making changes with clients. It works really well and annotation tools are accurate and easy to use. Non-technical clients have no issue using it to submit feedback on designs and website changes. Makes life easy getting feedback, tracking implementation progress, and communicating with clients back and forth in the comments section.

Nachteile:

Honestly, it works very well. Haven't had any bugs, it offers the features we need, and support was responsive a few times I messaged them. They are always adding new features and improving existing features.

Easy and practical to use tool for both bug traking and customer feedback

Kommentare: Internal and external users are filling in issues easier than before. Having integration to Azure DevOps helos as well.

Vorteile:

Easy to fill in a bug , a feedback or a new feature. Good integration with Azure Dev Ops. Also, we consider it correct price / quality.

Nachteile:

Having posibility to have more lines (Enter) for Desscription field, when adding a bug, would be a nice improvement Interface imprivement could be made, for managing issues

Great for desktop, poor on mobile

Kommentare: We've drastically improved our review/client feedback process, as well as internal bug tracking and feature logging.

Vorteile:

The screen annotation and screen recording features.

Nachteile:

Github integration works one way. We need it to go back and forth.

Keeps getting better.

Kommentare: I love how easy it is to get things up and running once I'm ready for clients to provide feedback. No stuffing around, and it only takes me a minute.
I don't even send videos to clients show them how to use the tool anymore, they are able to jump right in and start providing feedback without any direction other than 'Press the feedback button'. Collaboration on feedback items is a breeze, and notifications come through without issue. Really happy with this tool!

Vorteile:

- Ease of setup. I've never had any troubles, just simply create the project, add the code to the website and you're good to go. - Customisable. Great options to customise the feedback tool to suit the brand and the type of feedback you need for a project. - Versatile. Being able to provide feedback on websites AND pdf's is great. I also like the look of the video feedback tool, haven't had a use for it yet but I can see how that would work well for certain types of clients.

Nachteile:

The only issue I have (and it's a small one) is the client account creation and use. I've found clients struggle or have no interest in setting up accounts and using them to manage their feedback. Providing a more pared back and clean sign-up process and backend for clients to use would be a winner. However I don't think any feedback tool has got this 100% yet. No issues with actually providing feedback though, that has been a positive experience for clients.

Rocky start beginning to smooth out...

Kommentare: Great experience...I really trust software solutions that are hosted in the cloud instead of on my own via WordPress.

Vorteile:

Video feedback is excellent for clients who aren't computer savvy or just can't explain what they need into words.

Nachteile:

In the beginning, it was strictly for web mockups. But now, they've not only added the capability for print/digital design, they've also included video feedback.

Great app for quick feedback requests on images and PDFs

Kommentare: We needed a way to request design feedback to clients and userback provided the easiest way to do it with the "designs" feature, so now is a relatively simple process to create a project and upload a design(jpg or PDF) that we can share with our clients, receive feedback and address it directly. Once the design has been updated we can upload a new version and request feedback again, until we get approval.

Vorteile:

Our primary use case is to receive feedback directly over images and PDFs and works great for that. And what I like is that I can upload a JPG, to a specific "project" and send a link to a client where they can annotate and comment directly their ideas and upload files if required to complement their notes, that has saved us some back and forth through email.

Nachteile:

The annotation tools are a bit limited for our use case, need a "freehand" style tool to increase the accuracy of the feedback we receive. Would be great to have the ability to set our custom domain. At the moment they offer the option to send email notifications from our own email but they do not have a way to implement DMARC so if using "quarentine" or "reject" you cannot use your email for notification, and need to use the generic userback email.

Tools that I can't live without for our web design business

Vorteile:

Userback has been a game-changer in our company. We have been using it to collect user feedback and make sure we are on the right track. Our clients love it, and the ease of providing feedback.

Nachteile:

Have been using for more than 50 projects, love it.

Must have for Digital Agencies

Vorteile:

Streamline my customer's feedbacks in a simple interface and in a unique tool.

Nachteile:

Until now, nothing is missing, at least for my needs.

Userback easily streamlines client feedback and sign off

Vorteile:

They are constantly looking at new features and innovative ways to add value to existing users; the software grows as you use it.

Nachteile:

Most of the things I didn't like have been overcome with updates, but the general onboarding of clients was a little clunky, though is much more straightforward now, even for client's who aren't so technically adept.

Great bit of kit

Vorteile:

Less errors, stress and time wasted. - eases up the process of getting things 100% right - 100% of the time Does printed proof as well as apps and websites - so clients are flipping form app to app. Integrates with many PM tools - we use clickUp and it works well with this.

Nachteile:

Not sure Video took along time to arrive.

Simple to use, clear feedback that avoids the back and forth.

Kommentare: I can't say better things about Userback. It's one of those rare products that really deliver on what it is intended to do. But over and above that, make improvements and add features that are actually useful. All without moving away from what it is meant to do - Make the feedback process quick and easy to perform. Make the feedback being provided clear and concise that pinpoints exactly what is needed. It's also really simple for us to add to our products. For our websites, when clients are logged in, we add the JavaScript so only they see the widget. In our apps, we provide a feedback role so managers can designate who is allowed to provide feedback directly to us. A simple IF statement in our case allows us to manually load the widget as needed.

Vorteile:

Honestly, there are many pros for Userback, I could write a lot here. The software is a huge help to our business - Clear concise feedback. Saves so much time to know EXACTLY what a client wants and make any adjustments straight away. - Simple to integrate and match our branding - Clients are impressed when shown how they can provide feedback - It's a quick and simple process to provide feedback. Users spot something amiss, click a feedback button and you get feedback that's almost perfect and unambiguous. Rarely do you need to ask for further clarification. - The Userback team are very active in developing new features and enhancements We needed a system that we could integrate into our products to make getting feedback quick and easy for our clients and us. Userback really nailed that and have only gotten better. The software has really evolved beyond expectations. It now handles feedback for client designs. Allows video feedback and recently started providing things like the console logs and events from the browser. It's filling the needs for which it was intended, but they keep adding new features that really benefit our business.

Nachteile:

Some of the pain points I originally had were; - User notifications when replying to feedback were opt-in and usually not set. Meaning I would need to follow up via email to get them to check my comments. - Each project I had to create the feedback widget from scratch (with the same settings) - While it was easy to use, the interface was a little clunky and needed some initial training for clients to make things clear. Userback have addressed all of these issues now - The reply mechanism is more of a ticket system to resolve issues - You can clone the feedback widget from similar projects - The user interface is much more refined and clear. Really simple to provide feedback. My biggest issue now is finding the time to evaluate some of the new features Userback have developed and decide if we will integrate those into our workflow.

Userback insights after using it DAILY for the past two years

Kommentare: We have 15 school websites and Userback has quickly become a critical tool for external and internal users to provide feedback. Internal staff LOVE the ease of use and improved workflow to provide changes to our websites, especially being able to annotate and add comments directly on pages. From my seat, as the administrator, I LOVE that I no longer have disconnected emails that often lacked key information to make timely changes to content. The process couldn't be easier for all involved. It also solves the need to provide status updates as users can opt to receive notifications.Lastly, I was also able to integrate Userback with Basecamp to streamline tasks. Hands down, Userback lands in the Top 5 applications within our environment.

Vorteile:

Userback has been one of the best applications for us, and one of the best purchases in the past two years. We have Userback integrated within our Wordpress websites and Basecamp project management application. The ability to have VISUAL feedback generated from any page has been a major convenience and improvement in our workflow. All stakeholders are able to provide feedback directly from any of our school websites without leaving the website/page, opening email, or using separate screen sharing applications. As an administrator, I receive notifications when feedback has been submitted/updated. I am also able to see everything within the Userback dashboard (each of our websites has its own project so I can quickly see the specific site AND PAGE of the submitted feedback). The latter two components have saved an incredible amount of time in follow up communications and managing tasks related to our websites. I have also been impressed with Userback's evolution of features in its two years of use within our district.

Nachteile:

Userback is mostly intuitive. I created a one page guide with screen shots to "walk" end users through the basics. If there was something an onscreen that could do this, that would be helpful. For the tradeoff in all the other areas Userback has saved me, I can handle a simple tutorial.

A critical tool

Kommentare: The customer service is great. We have suggested improvements or raised bugs in the past and always been impressed with the response.

Vorteile:

The software is customisable. We use "status" for issue and bug tracking, moving tickets into sprints, beta and live, and the backlog.

Nachteile:

When searching for a ticket using it's ID, I find it a little annoying that I have to open the status that the ticket is in to access it. If an ID matches, I would prefer to be delivered it immediately.

Wonderful Tool for User Feedback

Kommentare: Overall great. Biggest concern is as we grow will this product be scalable?

Vorteile:

Very customer friendly. Easily allows the user to access, write issue and provide screenshots and/or videos.

Nachteile:

The customer does not have access to a portal to track open tickets. It is cumbersome to access the export of the list of feedback. Integration will Jira sends easily but does not update back to the original feedback. Metrics for time to resolve needed.

One of the best Feedback tools out there

Kommentare: It is an amazing product. Userback has helped us internally figure out a way to effectively highlight problems and content gaps and get those issues across to development and design teams efficiently and accurately without having to explain the issues again and again over various mediums. This has improved client relations, internal processes, work quality and for the client side we can actually give access to clients on various projects so they can also comment and give instant feedback on improvements and changes. Fantastic product guys.

Vorteile:

You can distinguish the content, image, video or section on a webpage that needs to be changed. You can easily change those sections. You can also add comments to tasks.

Nachteile:

Honestly there is not a lot missing in this software but sometimes when you are working with multiple screens and the window is not maximised the screenshot or selection could be missed in the final task. But that issue can easily be fixed by maximising the window

Lots of great insights from users

Vorteile:

Userback let's users easily give us feedback in-app, which is super useful. This has resulted in some interestig insights that I don't think is easily replicable without Userback. The ability to draw and take screenshots with the feedback is what makes it so helpful for users to express their ideas and give good feedback.

Nachteile:

Nothing I can think of. It was easy to setup and deploy.

A must for Web Design and Development Businesses

Kommentare: We used to spend hours during a project on the phone with customers trying to understand and find the issues they were pointing out, now they can do it by themselves or we can make notes right on the website live during the call. No more screenshots with notes on them and the hassle of misunderstanding what the customer was requesting to be changed.

Vorteile:

It is so easy to upload and link our development sites and then send a link to our customers for review, or even internally for our QA to check our work. It is one of the best software packages for saving time and allowing us to get accurate customer feedback.

Nachteile:

There is not really much that I do not like about the software, with the single suggestion that the alert emails NEED to have a preview image so that you know what you are looking at, this is helpful for businesses that are getting multiple designs for review each day. Otherwise, you are clicking through and opening each one to see what it is. Everything else is awesome :)

Opinion of a regular user

Kommentare: The tool allows you to easily communicate the customer with the team creating the product. Thanks to it, we save a lot of time.

Vorteile:

Ease of use. Even our clients can handle userback.

Nachteile:

At the moment, I don't see any defects in the product. It is constantly evolving. Contact with the creator is very good. Nothing to complain about.

Stop the Come and Back Madness. Move to Userback

Vorteile:

I started using Userback about 6 months ago, and it totally changed our workflow. Before Userback we had to screenshot projects, send to customers, wait for the feedback, make changes, screenshot again. Now multiple this for multiple products and you will suffer with major hair-loss. :/ With Userback, here is the workflow. 1) You install the snippet, 2) Send the link to the customer, 3) The customer takes notes on the screen, 4) You review the notes, 5) Userback will automatically upload to your project management tool, like Basecamp. It's super simple to use, and even customers that are clueless about technology will thank you. Make the switch, at eikonikos, we love it!

Nachteile:

I can't point anything negative, maybe, I would request the team to add more integrations.

Clients love it

Vorteile:

A slick way to cut back on unnecessary emails and collect feedback for web design jobs.

Nachteile:

No white label, and it asks the user for feedback on their userback experience every time which is a bit annoying.

Make It Easy for You to Get Feedback

Vorteile:

I really like the versatility of Userback. Many websites are built with WordPress, and Userback integrates well with that. However, I can also get feedback on non-Wordpress websites as well. I also like how easy it is to really customize the feedback form so I can get detailed feedback, which is invaluable when designing websites.

Nachteile:

I really don't have any complaints about Userback. It's really evolved since I was first introduced to it.

Smooth Experience

Kommentare: Very nice, generally seamless

Vorteile:

I like the options to mark up screenshots in feedback. I like the board view for workflow.

Nachteile:

Not able to link to specific projects, only to specific tasks. Sharing a filtered view would also be helpful.

Understanding and getting feedback has never been so easy

Kommentare: We could do such an amazing job for our clients without this one product

Vorteile:

I like this because its so easy to use for my clients, there is no real leaving curve, just click and type

Nachteile:

Although we use this globally for all sites, it would be nice to have a section on each site to be able to let the developer see the feedback on the site, rather then going to the main Userback account to read and reply..

Review from a Daily User

Kommentare: Excellent

Vorteile:

Ease of use, integration with other products.

Nachteile:

Can make the interface more interesting.

Critical piece of our tech stack

Kommentare: Excellent. I have not had any "swearing at the computer" moments with Userback

Vorteile:

Saves a huge amount of time, particularly phone calls and texts for change requests

Nachteile:

Would like to see more integrations, and ability to automate
