Hotjar Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines a voice of the customer (VoC) platform as one that integrates feedback collection, analysis and action into a single interconnected platform that helps understand and improve the customer experience. Sources of feedback extend beyond direct surveying to include other, more indirect and inferred sources. VoC platforms enable leaders responsible for functions such as customer service, marketing, or sales to better manage the customer experience (CX) through a deep understanding of customer needs, motivations, goals and behaviors. The resulting insights trigger recommendations and actions across the enterprise.

The recordings are excellent, but heatmaps can be quite hit and miss. It has the capability to give good information. The longer we've been on this platform, the more tools and settings that are becoming paywalled for higher tiered plans. The interface is littered with prompts to use tools that you cannot use without upgrading. 

Hotjar gives us the qualitative layer on our B2B commerce site - heatmaps, session recordings and on-site feedback that show why customers behave the way the analytics says they do. It has fed real UX fixes across cart and checkout journeys. Sampling limits on high-traffic pages and fairly shallow reporting keep it a companion tool rather than the whole answer.
