iridize reviews

Flexibility and customer support are amazing. You can include different types of media in the Iridize help tab which allows us to use it for purposes beyond providing guided walkthroughs. Also, we can pass information back to Iridize in the embedded code snippet in order to customize messaging and content based on things like feature toggles. Finally, they do a great job of training and provide a solid knowledge base for their product.

We've run into some issues with guides on Firefox that need to be coded around. Also, while Iridize can integrate the help tab search with your knowledge base if you use Zendesk, we've been unable to integrate the search between the help tab and our help system.

We've used Iridize for training efforts with three different products now. The primary goal for the software was to help shorten the learning curve during our full-scale Salesforce implementation. We got Iridize for our billing, customer care, and sales teams primarily. I can't say enough good things about the CEO and his staff. If we had any hiccups at all, they were on the phone with us ASAP, even if it meant having a late night for them. I've never, EVER experienced such a high level of service from a vendor.

This product is paramount to our long-term success with system applications training across our company. It's relatively easy to create guides, even though I am a one-man team who bought, implemented, learned, trained, and created on Iridize. If I can do it as one person, you can easily do it.

It's also able to be used in Chrome. Other products we've compared can only be used on Firefox. Not only that, but they were sometimes 1.5x - 2x more expensive with about the same level of features. OR, the cheaper alternatives required coding experience. Iridize was literally the perfect balance of reasonable pricing, ease of use, and feature-rich. I also really enjoy the frequent improvement releases they have.

As a sales training manager for a large medical device company's sales department, this tool is a must-have for us.

We had a couple hiccups with our Salesforce implementation, which was not to the fault of Iridize. We had an unstable platform that was constantly being changed around. When you have a javascript reader trying to locate an element you selected, and it changes overnight, Iridize no longer picks up that element and you need to fix it. Again, not to the fault of Iridize, but we nonetheless did have these issues. Regardless of fault, CEO spent countless hours with me to make Iridize operational. It changed the game for us completely.

I would like to see Iridize make some how-to videos rather than knowledge base articles for onboarding. They're hands-on with their, but when you need a quick answer, having a video could be equally as valuable and would save them a lot of time answering questions.

I also would like to see a North American office sometime in the future as well. Not really urgent, just helpful.

I suggest this tool to every client I can. The way Iridize layers on top of any application is incredibly convenient. The fact that these guides are decoupled from our application's deployment schedules makes my life much easier.

Everyone at the company loves that Iridize can provide ad hoc pop-ups as well. If we notice a bug in production, we use Iridize to immediately get in front of customers and warn them of the bug. I love it.

The WYSIWYG editor is powerful, but a little wonky. It takes just a little practice (and HTML/CSS knowledge) to become a real master. Compared to other tools, this is still the best option out there.

Great communication opportunity when it comes to release notifications and other service messages
Powerful engine rule to identify users and context - something that would take much time to develop ourselves
Allowing our team to collaborate - many people of many roles are using Iridize inputs - Sales, marketing, tech writers, product managers, and more
Really easy to maintain - support in both production and staging environments, multiple releases overtime and more

Could improve the out of the box styling and the look and feel of their back-end system

I've been using Iridize for almost one year now to automate onboarding and give help to our customers whenever they have time and need for it - not when we can spend the time with the customers.

- easy to use

- flexible with conditioning and auto-launching

- customer rating possible (praising my own team: our average rating is just above 4 for all
non-automated tutorials on a scale from 1 to 5)

- small company (ability and will to meet our needs aka developing the product all the time)

- lacking heavy reporting tools (we need to provide evidence of usage and improvement to our EMT)

- small company (missing enterprise level features, but they have been good at developing our good ideas)

Holy Cow! Their Support Team is the best.

Iridize is powerful, this means it can sometimes be complex. Start simple, and then work your way up to complex. You'll be glad you did!

Ease of use, amazing support, out-of-the-box solutions and continuous development directly connected to market demands.

missing some organizational tools.
limited filtering
limited reporting

The Iridize staff is great. Support is unbelievable. Whatever the system lacks in features, they more than make up for with great customer relations.

There are some quirks with the guide designer. Nothing major but sometimes it gets tricky to achieve the results you are shooting for. Thankfully, the Iridize team are always there to help and eventually we always get it right.

The customer support is fantastic! They really focus and identify the source of an issue (whether it is our R&D or Iridize itself...or us!) and stay with us until we're satisfied that the issue is solved.
There are a lot of cool features in Iridize and although I've already created a few guides, I know that there is more for me to learn!

Since there are so many features, I think that sometimes, it's overwhelming - there's a lot to learn! Also, there should be a place that the Iridize user (guide creator) can make private notes in the system about a step or substep. (I think they're already working on adding this feature.)

Almost immediate response to any queries, and amazing one-to-one support.

The completed guides have been extremely useful for our users in the pilot phase of our product, and the analysis of their usage is very helpful, showing that users are regularly viewing the guides.

The multi-language support is great. Our users have access to guides in their native language.

Not the most intuitive product to use when creating the guides initially, and was often difficult to find the right target selectors, although Iridize was helpful in suggesting alternatives. However once you got used to it and found workarounds, the product was great !

Conditional steps (ie steps with more than one route depending on different start points or user scenarios) were confusing to implement - I found the 'Skip if element not found OR conditions not met' often meant a double negative and was difficult to get my head around.

The Step settings could do with some reorganisation, and it would be useful if these auto-expand rather than having to click on the tool icon to open. It would also be useful to default to 'All steps' rather than the current step.

It would be great if steps could be copied from one guide to another (or the concept of 'shared steps' would be good) to save having to remember each of the settings.

From the simplicity of their solution to the outstanding hands-on support and training, Iridize is a true Blessing for any Sass company. It has proven to be an instrumental tool for our Customer Success which has truly allowed us to streamline and scale our customer support and Customer Success via guided tours, contextual search & "on-demand' knowledge base. Highly recommended!

It's all good! :) The only suggestion would perhaps be to have more customization when it comes to the size of the tool tips. Love every feature they offer! :)

We use Iridize to provide context-specific help through our web application. When creating the context-specific help, Iridize is a breeze to use and has well-thought out configuration options to support many different use cases.

It's easy to search their knowledge base to find answers on my own and when a next level of support is needed, their customer support team is top notch! They offer quick and thoughtful responses. Questions are handled efficiently and, if needed, screensharing sessions are easy to schedule.

They are the epitome of what you want in a vendor. Every vendor should aspire to be like them.

The customer service through Iridize can't be beat. Eyal is so knowledgeable and quick to answer my questions. Their team has always taken our feedback into consideration and implemented updates per our request.

The tool is easy to use and the Iridize team is wonderful to work with. Very supportive and responsive. Would recommend them over the competition.

Walkthrough design window could be simplified, but this isn't really an issue because the company offers so many features that as a user it can almost be overwhelming at first, but once you master the tool it is very easy to use.

Customer support is fantastic.
Highly flexible.
Easily customizable.
The latest updates to the UI have been tremendous.

To support a broader content strategy, it would be great to have more visibility to the underlying content. It is not possible to download the content or extract it from the system without help from the company. When needed though, they are happy to help and the turnaround time is fast.

- Flexibility
- Customer support
- Value
- Reliable

- Reporting could be improved a bit

We've had great feedback from clients since launching. Issues and support calls were minimized thanks to our rollout of the Iridize guides. Support was also excellent.

We actually heard about one client's Helpdesk personnel who was able to help out a user from his car. He just pointed the user to one of the Guides and all of the user's questions were answered.

Some of the menus for controlling conditions could be improved but are minor.

Great Team that goes the extra step to help, train, and keep everything seemingly perfect for their clients clients
Comprehensive product that seems to meet every need one could have for tool tips and feature guides.

Very good support, provides quick, concise and helpful answers.

Sometimes glitches happen.
