Easy to get quick insights to help inform directions
What do you like best about the product?
I love how User Testing takes users' feedback and implements changes to the product to make it more user friendly. I feel like a valued customer! Also, it's a super quick and easy way to get questions answered to help inform decisions or next steps.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's expensive. And not all the features are as user friendly as I'd like to have them be. So, it can take more time than necessary to set up a test because there aren't as many short cuts available yet. But, they listen to users and implement changes quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work on a lot of different areas in my company as a user researcher. This platform allows me to democratize research so that product managers and designers feel empowered to learn from consumers and ask questions to inform their work. It also helps us do competitive analyses quickly and usability tests.

Useful Service
What do you like best about the product?
I liked that you could get real feedback on your website, and that it was usually pretty detailed as well. Being able to set your own questions that the tester would have to answer/navigate to was really helpful because in some ways you are better able to get targeted guidance rather then generic.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest frustration was with the people chosen to interact with my site. I specifically set up "pre-screening" questions because I have a really niche market. Multiple times I got people who either had no clue what my site was about (I am a tarot reader) or they disagree with my profession so they would leave really short answers. And when you are having to pay a significant amount of money for those videos it is hard when you are not getting quality testing.
I really miss the free option that the company used to have. I imagine that there were people who would take advantage of it but for a small business it can be really cost prohibitive to take a risk on a video that may not be at all helpful. Having a free option, even to just get a feel for how the platform works, makes it less frustrating if the test turns out to be not useable. It was frustrating enough that I never paid for more then 3 tests (which was a significant amount of money for what I ended up getting.
I also found that it was frustrating too when people gave brief answers to questions you set, or completely ignored the question. For example I might ask how easy it was to locate something and they would instead talk about how they felt about a color or an image. Still important feedback, but not what I was most concerned about, if that makes sense. Maybe a bit more attention to who gets to do the testing?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The helpful tests that I did get were key to me seeing what path needed to be taken to get to a particular place - ie, if it was easy for clients to locate. I also learned what color schemes seemed to frustrate people as well as what images they would expect to see. After implementing the changes most often submitted I saw a sales increase of 113% the first year. I have also been able to look at my site with a more critical eye.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This has a lot of potential to be helpful if you have a site that is in a more mainstream industry. More niche industries seem to be hard to place open-minded testers on. Expect that at least one test will likely be less then helpful. As of last look there is no free option any longer, so expect to pay $50-$100 just to get started.

A great way to get user feedback!
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the ease of use and response time. It is fun to see the responses flow into the tool and to watch the users participate in the study. It is really helpful to watch participants react to your product. You can also collaborate with your colleagues as you review the responses in real time. It is such a helpful and easy tool to use in your research process. We have had great success in our company using the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a lot of planning for me to set up a test and I have to work with others in my company to organize a test. Thankfully it is not that the tool is hard to use or that it takes a long time to set up the test on UserTesting, it is just the fact that I have to clean up all of my files and create the files to be used during the test as well as work with a writer to establish the questions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is really easy to use the platform and I enjoy getting results back. Having video of the people responding is really helpful to understand how they are reacting in real time.It has been helpful to display our emails in front of customers to see people's feedback and get a better understanding of how they read through our communications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try! You'll gain a lot of insight quickly.
Great resource for getting real user data
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to set up a test and how I can customize tasks and questions to get the most data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data summary isn't the best. You do have to dig into to every response to get the information you want which takes a long time but also does tend to bring issues to light.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use user testing for ways to improve our conversion rate and also test new or existing features on the site. It gives us great insight in how people are using features and what issues they're having.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its one of the best users testing tools out there. Their 5 second test is a great starter if you're not ready for a full commit.
Good, quick user feedback.
What do you like best about the product?
Great for getting quick feedback from real people that can be screened to get focused responses.
What do you dislike about the product?
Participants can sometimes rush through certain sections which can make it a challenge to validate multiple choice responses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting feedback on new features and ideas for our product development. Benefits include being able to narrow in on product decisions and reduced investment in unnecessary features.

Easy set up, i can do everything myself, i can write notes as i watch the videos, quick snips of the videos
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes you don't get quality people and have to delete and start a new one
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
really quick usability tests that dont merit a whole session, and UXR that could be biased with a moderator.
A critical tool in today's world
What do you like best about the product?
Our Product and Design teams can get near instant validations from our demographics. We can theorize something and confirm or reject it by EoD!
What do you dislike about the product?
The price is high, especially for small businesses. Ive been wanting to add the Live Interview feature, seeing as Im a fulltime remote employee, but the price isnt manageable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly we use UT for small-problem solving: icongraphy, flow, design. Recently we've dug into UT's wide and deem community resources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Usertesting is an amazing tool if you do not have dedicated researchers, if Product and or Design do the brunt of the in-house research.
Very helpful for quick testing
What do you like best about the product?
The enterprise account allowed me to choose people from my area (Canada) and filter for province. I liked that aspect and the fact it was so quick. I could get results very quickly. I also felt support were helpful in getting back to me when I had problems. For example, the tester didn't follow instructions or had some technical glitches. I liked that I could export the videos easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The transcription could be improved, but it was great that there was any at all. The pricing for enterprise was pretty steep compared to the one-offs, and the filtering was only part of the enterprise, so that was unfortunate. Also, when I downgraded, I lost the access to the old videos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing the products that I build for my clients. I fundamentally used it for user testing websites. It's so clear that there is a difficulty in me and my team being too close to the product. There were so many things that I found from UT that I wouldn't have thought of. Many of the issues I could fairly easily correct.
