We use UserTesting mainly to conduct unmoderated usability tests. Since we practice agile, we must frequently launch tests every week or every other week to receive user feedback and gain insights so the design team can work on them. What's good about UserTesting is that it doesn't take long until participants complete the test (unless you are screening for niche users), so you can launch the test, go for a walk, and then come back to analyze the data.
  • Product Manager who follows up on your UserTesting usage and gives advice/support when you need it.
  • UserTesting University is a great platform to learn how to use UT and general information about research.
  • UserTesting can find participants quickly, so you won't need to wait long before you can start the analysis.
  • Sometimes when you want to go back to the previous page, it feels really slow.
  • (Not sure if it's UserTesting fault) Sometimes, users can't open the URL for some technical reason (It's just a normal www. website).
The unmoderated usability test on UserTesting is perfect. However, the tree test/card sort is not great, as you have two websites for it, and some functionalities are also missing. I also rarely use UserTesting AI quick insights because it's hard to believe these insights when sometimes the transcript is wrong!

As a large e-commerce company, our team of 3 UXRs and other UXDs uses UserTesting daily to run studies on every aspect of users' journeys through our digital products. We evaluate both web and app in mobile and desktop cases. By targeting specific audiences, we can trust that UserTesting can bring the voice of representative users to our design decisions.
  • Large pool of participants.
  • Fast turn-around time from study launch to results.
  • Good quality participants who are used to thinking aloud.
  • Adding clips to highlight reels could be improved.
  • An option to remove filler words from transcript, e.g. um and like.
  • More transparent pricing around studies in terms of credits.
UserTesting is a handy research tool that facilitates a rapid turnaround. The participants are a highlight, with a large pool, good screening options, and good-quality participants accustomed to thinking aloud. Some areas for improvement could be more analysis for tree tests (e.g., directness), more usable highlight reel functionality, and improved transcription to filter out filler words.

Testing the usability of prototypes or new features, assessing the fit of propositions, and assessing the clarity of copy—all these help us ship products that are clear and easy to use. We can make those improvements in designs before we actually build them in code. We mainly focus on the usability side, but it can also be good for assessing the needs of certain customer segments.
  • Unmoderated tests are easy to set up and for users to navigate.
  • It has many features to help analyze a lot of feedback quickly. It highlights themes and sentiments and brings scores together.
  • It's good for finding users to test with quickly and allows you to set particular criteria.
  • It's great for exporting user feedback and highlight reels.
  • Some users that come through do not match the target user profile that I specify.
It's great for usability testing and getting fast feedback on prototypes or live products/websites. It's not as strong for user needs insights, but it can still be useful there.

We mainly use UserTesting for two things: 1. Product discovery (generative research) on customer insights to find pain points and evaluate high-level product/feature ideas or terminology feedback, and 2. Evaluative research, such as doing usability evaluations of clickable prototypes to test for intuitiveness or to get feedback on feature ideas shown through text descriptions and/or mocked-up screenshots.
  • Has a large bank of survey respondents.
  • Has many different test methodology options.
  • Summarizes results automatically.
  • The seat license cost is very high.
  • The in-test UI for testers could be improved.
It's the grand-daddy of user testing tools, especially since it acquired some competitors, so it has lots of functionality and is pretty easy to use. It has a massive bank of test subjects that you can use (at a cost), which means even if you need to screen for specific attributes, you can still find testers and get results very fast (usually a few hours). The main downside to the product is the per-seat license cost, which is the only reason I don't recommend it higher.

User Testing is great for ironing out process flows and issues. I've also used them as an outside tester on their surveys app, and while they don't have much testing available for African countries, the ones that I have been able to do were enjoyable. Being paid for my tests is always an efficient process, and they always deliver on their promises.

It's very good for testing the customer experience of an app or website. It's very user-friendly, and the feedback process is fast and efficient. I've never had any glitches or issues when testing using their platform. Great experience all around.

UserTesting is used across the user experience team at my company to answer the research questions that we have across our product teams that we support. We use it for a variety of research methods from unmoderated to moderated, generative to evaluative, and more. The problems that the platform helps us solve are the ability to test our assumptions and quickly gain feedback on design concepts that influences the product decisions that our teams makes.
  • Finding niche audiences
  • Ability to collaborate with other UX teammates or product partners
  • Quickly getting insights
  • Expanding their panel of healthcare users and customers
  • Better validation that users are who they say they are
  • More accurate and helpful sentiment analysis on sessions
UserTesting is a great way to quickly gain user or customer feedback in both generative and evaluative research studies. Want to better understand who your users are but don't have time to be on moderated interviews, UserTesting can help. Want to gain early feedback on design concepts, they can help you there too.

We use it to perform unmoderated user testing from time to time and organize individual interviews with customers. UserTesting provide us with access to an open-market customer base outside of our existing customers.
  • Summarising unmoderated user testing.
  • Ease of reviewing individual test clips.
  • Easy to set up unmoderated testing.
  • Avoid professional testers.
  • More natural, candid test participants.
  • Was hard to find the data summarising feature.
It was good but would have been more effective with more natural participants, i.e., first-time test participants and fewer professional testers.

We use it to test our future design and concept. We like to use the preference testing template for this type of need. We also use it to test our current product to see if improvements can be made. UserTesting gives us a chance to validate our assumptions or test new ideas faster than an individual interview or another type of testing. It's a big time saver for us.
  • Good templates for a lot of testing type.
  • Metrics dashboard are well done.
  • The support team is good!
  • How to find panelists - creating a panelist group in an easier way than today.
  • Having a personalized dashboard.
  • More suggestion to improve our questions when we type it - in a live way (AI?).
It's so fast to test a concept with a real user! This is a good and easy way to create a video reel to explain pain points on the interface. We had some issues with the firewall when we used our personal external users (a client based in a government agency) to test. It was harder to set up an environment for them to bypass their own security rules.

I work in UX content design, so I use the platform for A/B, comprehension, and validation testing. It really helps me do what I consider an essential part of my job: getting our content in front of real users before we commit it to the live product. That helps me justify some of the content decisions we make.
  • Ease of use is excellent.
  • The turnaround of testing is very fast.
  • The platform support is exemplary.
  • More content-specific templates please.
  • A dark mode would be great.
  • More comprehensive FAQs.
UserTesting is excellent for solving complex content problems. A lot of work I do is based on compliance messaging, some of which is convoluted and confusing for users. If I can test variants of the content on users to find a way that's both compliant and user friendly then I've done my job well, UserTesting is essential in helping me do that. Regarding less appropriate scenarios, I honestly can't think of anything specific that affects my career. It would not be easy to use for physical product testing, considering the platform is online only.

As a UX Researcher, I employ UserTesting in my daily flow. I launch a number of qualitative studies, and UserTesting has not failed me ONCE in recruiting participants who meet my stringent criteria within tight deadlines. The transcription tool that writes out participants' feedback is also incredibly helpful in my analysis and synthesis process.
  • Recruiting participants based on specific screener criteria QUICKLY
  • Allows me to cancel or replace user sessions EASILY when there are issues with the test plan or participant feedback
  • Simplifies analysis process by transcribing interviews
  • Creates highlight reels
  • Allows you to easily copy and paste standout participant quotes
  • AI feature is not quite helpful -- sentiment analysis is subpar
  • Wish there were more internal tools for data analysis/synthesis like tagging (as Dovetail has)
  • Hoping that the AI summary tool really ups its game soon
Use UserTesting if you need to recruit participants QUICKLY to get fast results. If you're running a particularly stringent project, UserTesting's screener tool isn't the most rigorous as I've had several participants who shouldn't have qualified based on the screener questions pass through and end up as participants in my studies. If strict adherence to participant recruitment guidelines is of top priority, you might want to use a more traditional approach to recruitment.

We primarily use UserTesting to validate, evaluate and test product design problems. Sometimes we use it to validate a more modern experience, other times we use it to test new experiences that have been designed to address specifical problems within the user journey. We test products as a lower fidelity test before we do live site AB testing and eventually deploy new experiences globally.
  • Post AB testing problem solving to understand why experiences didn't get the intended results
  • Discovery and framing to learn what the users needs are
  • Early iterative prototyping to learn what users think about new mental models and experiences
  • Late stage prototyping to validate the experience
  • To learn about content and what users think about it
  • Maybe hide the more complex or lesser used test functionality on the right sidebar. The new test creation process is a bit more cumbersome than it used to be
Good/well suited:
- Industry/competitive analysis
- Quick perception test
- Content analysis
- Early & late stage prototype testing
- Basic usability testing

Less suited
- API testing, personalization testing

We conducted over 800 usability tests on the platform to make crucial decisions on design implementations. This really helped us in achieving good results with our design changes. What I liked about it, was that the results came in so quickly and within an hour you had already a lot of responses. It made things much easier to understand where pain points were and how to make better choices.
  • Quick Results
  • Intuitive Platform
  • Large pool of users
  • Sales Team
  • Cost
  • Analysis features
For usability testing, it's perfect. It allows a variety of type of questions and the unlimited plan allows you to test everything, which is nice because you don't have to choose what to test.
It was promoted as a "test everything" tool, but once we wanted to renew, the sales team did not like our power usage and was very unfriendly in making offers.

We've been using UserTesting to close the gaps in our understanding of customer behavior - this has been done through usability tests, card sorting, surveys, preference testing, and gathering insights using some of the UserTesting templates. It's always easy to set up a test, and the participant feedback has been excellent. The ability to summarize with AI and create highlight reels has been helpful in sharing our findings with stakeholders and leadership. This year we are looking to expand the scope of what we use UserTesting for beyond digital products and incorporate user research into more areas of our company, which also allow us to stretch ourselves creatively with how we test. Very exciting stuff and thankful to have a solid foundation with UserTesting's tools.
  • Generates insights based on user feedback
  • Flexible templates
  • Ability to customize audience to zero in on relevant users
  • Would like to ability to generate keyword clouds
  • Highlight reels are time consuming to create
  • AI summaries don't always pull relevant feedback
UserTesting is well suited for testing ideas and validating designs - through preference testing we've been able to determine which designs meet customer needs and can be put through development, without wasting time and resources on designs that will fail. We've also used UserTesting card sorting feature to help refine hierarchy for new pages, allowing us to see exactly what customers prioritize when making decisions.

At our German mobile games company, we use UserTesting extensively to improve the user experience and interface design. This tool allows us to reach specific target audiences, allowing them to offer real-time feedback on our mobile game prototypes via recorded audio and screen activity. Our use case for user testing includes everything from pre-launch idea testing to post-launch game enhancement. We investigate responses to game pitches or early prototypes during the concept phase. We test increasingly polished iterations of the games as production moves forward, concentrating on certain features like character design, stage difficulty, and UI options. We use UserTesting even after the game launches to improve it according to how players engage with various aspects/features of the game—which is frequently surprising.
  • Fast feedback from tester
  • Decent filters to set the audience profile for the tests
  • Mostly testers are great participants with good feedbacks
  • Great customer support
  • Add filters to Contributers Network feature!!!!
  • Add more features for data analysis (e.g. cross data from different participants)
Mainly to test products from industries that are well-established and have a huge use base of users (e.g., beauty, health, bank applications, etc). I would not recommend it for things that are too niche (e.g. French card mobile games) because the tool doesn't have enough filters or screening questions to allow researchers to recruit participants from UserTesting userbase. Probably this is on purpose right?

I am the Lead UX UI Designer on our team, and sit under the CRO team. UserTesting has been invaluable to us, has assisted us through multiple rounds of design iterations on our biggest project to date, Checkout redesign, which has seen a huge uplift and been extremely successful. The tool was used throughout the project to target specific areas of the checkout which would have caused our users issues or confusion and I was able to develop these. I am currently using the tool in the same way to redesign our PDP. It has been used to gain insights into users' experiences of our benchmarked competitors, as well as our current PDP. The tool is used throughout our CRO monthly testing cycle where designs for tests are usertested in short test forms to refine designs. We also use Content Square as a data tool, and are able to gain qualitative insights from UserTesting where we see looping behaviours or rage clicks on the site. We will be progressing to using surveys and interviews as our scope increases, particularly to further understand customer journeys, inspirations, motivations and frustrations.
  • Usable - great dashboards and data metrics
  • Different options for testing to suit your needs - surveys, moderated and unmoderated tests, and interviews
  • Platform keeps you up to date as a partner to any networking events or webinars hosted to learn from other clients and businesses
  • Missing the ability to create folders or tag tests which have been sent out in multiple or successive rounds
  • Word clouds for any verbal responses e.g. describe this page in 3 words
  • More logic to how highlight reels are created, or info pop ups on why they have been created/any interesting segments (this may be more of an AI part to the tool)
UserTesting has been pivotal for understanding the digital experience on our site for users, identifying pain points which can influence Business Cases, Re-designs, Refinements, Trade analysis, and A/B testing programmes within the company. It is suitable for UX teams, CRO teams and may also be helpful for Creative and Marketing teams if feedback on campaigns or content is required. It is particularly useful for iterative design processes, as well as research for design projects. Interviews I imagine would be extremely helpful to truly understand user experiences and pain points. I am hoping our business can move towards utilising this feature. It is, I would say, not appropriate to base all decisions on insights gained from the platform as quantitative data is extremely important, but it can help answer the 'why's' of user interactions, and feedback from UserTesting has always been well-received by management and non-UX experts when I have presented it.

UX team uses UserTesting to conduct research daily, actively involving users in our design process
  • Usability test of prototypes and live products
  • Card sort -tree test for findability assessment
  • Interviews to gain in-depth understanding to the whys
  • The auto-generated HLR from the metrics tab should be editable, it will save research so much time with creating reels.
For UX research, through UserTesting, we are able to gather insights identifying users needs and exceptions of customers and feeding back to the business which has helped with prioritisation and opportunities.

We are using UserTesting at [...] to speed up and scale up our learning capabilities and build the bank the world loves to use.

UserTesting helps us to gather quick feedback on our designs and product direction as well as deep dive into different money and wealth management topics.

It helps us learn as a team and eventualy make better product and design decisions.
  • Quick feedback for evaluative research
  • Collaboration (research as team sport)
  • Large external participant panel
  • Clicks maps
  • Heat maps
  • Quantitative research functionality
If you are a larger company with a bigger research and design team, UserTesting can help to make user research a team sport.

Also, in case you don't have your own participant panel, UserTesting can offer a large participant panel that you can share your study with.

It could be however a more costly solution if you are a smaller company or have a smaller UX team.

I use UserTesting multiple times per week. I am Director of User Research at my company, and conduct multiple kinds of research using UT. I use it for unmoderated usability testing (click through prototypes, etc), moderated in-depth interviews, to test surveys, and get feedback on new product concepts.
  • Quotas for different test types would be extremely helpful
  • Ability to search across workspaces, and improved search in general
  • A more consistent user interface across the platform (functions behave differently in certain places, for instance)
  • Improved ability to manage contact lists
  • Improved scheduling features
I love UT for quick usability testing, or to test a survey, for instance. Recruiting is fast and easy as long as your audience is well-represented. It is less useful for niche audiences like some of the ones we recruit for.

UserTesting is helpful for us to get feedback on changes we would like to make in our user interfaces. The participants in studies help us learn which UX/UI is preferred and which UX/UI leads to more efficient and successful task completion. It's a very helpful tool to get rapid feedback. That allows us to iterate and test again, quickly, which is essential for our product teams.
  • Recruit good participants
  • Relatively intuitive screener and protocol creation
  • Easy to download data
  • I often need to spend time "cleaning" the data once I download it. I think the existing formatting could be improved
  • It's difficult to make a video clip
  • It would be great if there was a way to incorporate more advanced survey tools
UserTesting is well suited for business end user and consumer end user research. I've found it less helpful for recruiting some more niche participant groups such as IT administrators.

I often utilize UserTesting's unmoderated sessions to get quick feedback on designs or prototypes. Sometimes I use it for moderated sessions as well.

In our organization, we rely on UserTesting to validate new app features before development. By testing these features, we gather valuable insights to support stakeholder discussions. UserTesting helps us address business problems like ensuring feature alignment with user needs and enhancing decision-making processes. Our use case primarily focuses on pre-development testing to inform feature design and improve stakeholder buy-in.
  • Rapid Feedback Gathering
  • Extensive Contributor Base and Versatile Profile Filtering
  • Enhanced A/B testing options
  • Enable other members to edit and manage sessions
UserTesting proves invaluable for obtaining high-quality outcome insights, enabling the capture of users' faces and behaviors as if you were alongside them. However, if your focus shifts towards acquiring larger quantities of data, alternative avenues might be more appropriate. UserTesting prioritizes depth over breadth, excelling in detailed qualitative feedback rather than sheer quantity.

UserTesting can be a powerful tool to understand how real people experience my organization's software. Here's how I leverage it within my team. I start by defining clear goals for my user testing session. What specific questions do I have about user behaviour? UserTesting offers its participant pool, or I can recruit my testers based on my target audience. Once participants are selected, I'll create a test scenario with tasks for users to complete while interacting with the interface. The beauty of UserTesting is that it facilitates remote, unmoderated sessions. Users complete the tasks on their own while recording their screen and audio. This allows me to observe genuine user reactions and thought processes without influencing their experience. After the test, UserTesting provides recordings of each participant's session. I can watch them individually or share them with my team. As I analyze the recordings, I pay attention to areas where users struggle or hesitate. This can reveal issues with the interface's usability. UserTesting also offers tools to highlight key moments and create clips for easy reference and discussion with my colleagues. By synthesizing the findings from the user testing sessions, I can identify opportunities to improve the user experience. UserTesting empowers my organization to make data-driven decisions based on real user behaviour.
  • unmoderated sessions
  • highlights of the key moments in the recorded session
  • replacing participants in case of unsuccessful session
  • improve the audience so we can target even more specific groups
  • AI powered analysis of the sessions with data put into affinity diagrams
  • verification of the participants, make sure people pot more or less true data about themselves
It's the best for A/B tests or tests where you need a broad audience. If you don't need a real niche audience (that you should recruit then rather yourself), then you can rely on UserTesting. It's good because it's so quick, almost instant, it takes about 10 minutes on average before I can start reviewing and documenting sessions.

Using it mainly for evaluative research for our website and app as well as more generative research via interviews. It helps us with the ease of recruitment to talk to our users, streamlining research operations through screener templates and study templates, and hosting videos or results to easily share with stakeholders.
  • Great customer support should you have a question or issue
  • Easy to recruit and build studies
  • Useful metric features to view ratings, time on tasks, paths, multiple choice prompts, and sentiment analysis
  • Incredibly quick turnaround time on launching studies and getting results back
  • Technical issues periodically
  • Participants in unmoderated studies not being very good user testers (but UT has great functionality built-in to alleviate these situations to replace a tester at no cost or fix the issue)
  • Limited survey functionality and features (ie no rank sorting question)
  • No skip logic or other types of functionality in screener
UserTesting.com is great service for getting quick feedback or something more in-depth. It's well-suited for usability studies and customer interviews, less so for surveys, tree testing or card sorting. Although it has that functionality, it doesn't meet a really delightful experience compared to other tools in that department. Their AI analysis feature is also very handy and works really well.

Our UX/UI team uses UserTesting regularly to conduct research studies. We have used different features, from unmoderated tests like A/B testing or prototype tests to live User Interviews. We enjoy the pool of candidates that are found within a few minutes of the test launch. Why do we use it? To talk to users within our industry to understand their needs, motivations, and expectations when using products like ours. We believe this tool is currently the best option on the market to combine all of our research efforts. The only struggle is the limited amount of pre-screener questions and the limitations within Canada (provinces/terretories).
  • Intuitive software
  • Easy onboarding
  • Fast participant recruitment
  • Easy scheduling
  • Confidentiality agreement toggle - Name might be confusing when used for other documents like NDAs or Privacy Policies
  • Recruitment in Canada - balanced demographic within provinces/ territories
Any research efforts are met perfectly with this tool. We can do moderated or unmoderated sessions and utilize the transcript for quotes. For live sessions like User Interviews, we also like the option to have a note taker in the call that the participant is unaware off. We believe this created less stress on the participant. As mentioned before, the only problem we are facing as a Canadian company is the pre screening process. We would like to have participants represented from within all our provinces and territories. This causes us to launch multiple tests and then reject/accept a certain province for each one.

My team uses UserTesting to conduct moderated and unmoderated usability testing and interviews. The platform solves for not having to manage your own recruitment and incentivization processes. It also helps with the recording and analysis process post-facilitation.
  • Recruitment (broad and vast panel audience)
  • Incentivization
  • Fast-paced and smooth end-to-end delivery
  • Recording
  • Transcription
  • Inviting team members to observe live or asynchronously
  • AI-powered Sentiment Analysis
  • Managing clip snippets
  • Cross-timezone scheduling - On the participant scheduling page, it always defaults to Pacific Time (PT). If participants don't notice this and miss my instructions, they'll go ahead and schedule in PT, even if they're in a different timezone, resulting in having to reschedule their session, which is very cumbersome and time-consuming.
  • Duration of Sessions - You only offer pre-set durations, such as 30 mins and 60 mins, if I recall correctly. Please allow us to select our own durations, such as 45 mins. Also, once the "timer" is up, Zoom just ends the session automatically, which is problematic when often times the sessions go over the allotment, resulting in an abrupt ending.
UserTesting is the best tool I've worked with for facilitating any research projects - ranging from discovery to evaluative research. I appreciate that it offers a variety of methods, beyond just usability testing. It also includes newer features like card sorting and tree testing. By integrating these features, it negates the need to use another tool such as OptimalWorkshop for which your team may not have a license.
