Pendo Likes & Dislikes
The fact that we don't need to predict our tracking needs. We don't need engineering input, code tagging and releases to start tracking a usage of the feature. Guides and advanced reporting, funnels, NPS surveys are also really useful

The Pendo overlay for creating guides is sometimes a little buggy, but closing it and refreshing the page before opening it again helps. There is a learning curve to building useful and good looking guides in Pendo. The automated CSS selection for tagging is helpful, but in many cases it is connected to something that doesn't uniquely identify the item. CSS knowledge is a must have to use it acordingly. We have an unfrotunate requirement from our customers regarding data residency. We need to use a US and EU versions of Pendo for our corresponding US and EU platforms. I didn't find a way to easily copy settings from one Pendo to the other. What is the Pendo strenght - that you tag and configure features in Pendo and not in code is it's weakness here. It forces us to click through things twice. I'm really worried about desynchronization and drift of the 2 Pendo instances.

Historical Usage Tracking and Guide Creation Streamlined With Pendo Platform Features
Pendo is one of the best platforms to gather and track the data on the usage of our application. The way it operates allows us to decide on the spot that we would like to report on a usage of a specific feature - we tag this in their UI and after a few moments we are presented with historical data of the usage. Pendo also provides a useful capability to create user guides which we use to introduce customers to newly added features. - CUSTOMER SUCCESS OPERATIONS SPECIALIST50M-1B USDIT ServicesReview Source

Powerful tool for post-launch analytics
As a UX Researcher, I use tools that help me connect user behavior with actionable insights. Pendo is very valuable in surfacing data and helping me understand how users interact with key features. It's also helped me connect CX data back to roadmap suggestions. However, the learning curve is quite steep and some workflows feel more complex than they should be.
