Reviews

good to have

Armin Nikdel February 20, 2024

I’ve been using Hitsteps on my website, and it’s like having a magnifying glass for my visitors. I am only using free version of it. It shows me where people are coming from and what they’re looking at. The live chat feature lets me talk to my visitors directly, which is nice. It took me a bit to understand how to use everything, but their support team was very helpful.

Good

good plug in for my business

Indispensable / Great Support

eastwestauto February 17, 2021

This product does an incredible job of providing me with visitor analytic data, real-time, hourly, daily, and monthly statistics, referral code tracking for analytic data on every inbound link we have, which is critical to know which campaigns are performing best, page by page performance statistics, and so much more I can’t even quantify it all. When a visitor on our site, we can follow them with a heatmap and get inciteful data about where their mouse and eyes move throughout the page, helping us to learn how our content is organized. We can better test the mobile responsiveness of every page as we are given not only visitor IP addresses, but desktop vs. mobile vs. tablet, operating system, os version, browser, browser version, whether they are connected to a cat5 or wireless connection, powered or battery (and how much battery the user currently has), and so much more data so we can learn about who our visitors and customers are, when they visit, how long they visit, and a complete history of how they navigated from a landing page to other pages on our site, and how long they were on every page. The amount of information that we get from hitsteps, for general visitor information and also for specific referral marketing tracking information is indispensable to my company. As with any other good product, you begin with free version with understandable feature limitations, and move up from there. I have also received great support on the product without problematic language barriers and delays. Great support and my suggestions have been very well received also. This is a great company to work with. Final review: Outstanding value!

Good Analysis and Provide Insights to help my Business

From my point of view Hitsteps actually does it job very well on my business. Compare to other analytic systems, Hitsteps is really user friendly and provide me useful insight of my customers and users. I like the heatmap feature the most, keep up the good work, Hitsteps team!

Very Happy User since 2016

June 1, 2019

I have been using HS for quite a while and I`m very happy so far. The support always is there for you. I dislike everything Google and after long searching, HS came up. I love UI and it gives me all the information I need. I also like when they show real website speed from the user side. There are more goodies inside such triggers that I love too. <strong>To those who give 1-star review because HS service is not free.</strong> I tried a free version first, but couldn`t resist supporting the team behind. Before you give one star for something that is not free and takes your pride “cheapy man” expectation, then take Big Bro Google, which is free, but…watch out and take a closer look. READ IT.
