"Great when it works, for lightweight tests & needs that's supported, but has many limitations & bugs"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Maze?

-- Can easily see path users collectively took as a series of screens

-- Can easily see heatmaps of user clicks for specific screens

-- Doesn't require testers to install apps or plugins or create accounts just to take a test Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maze?

-- Noticeably buggy! Including "obvious" bugs that are should have been caught before release, and old bugs that seem to remain there for months. Granted most of these bugs don't break things -- Maze staff is good at responding to critical ones -- but the bugs that do exist can be disappointing. For example, heatmaps sometimes not correctly showing clicks properly

-- Limitations include:

---- Not providing certain commonly expected features (e.g. better built-in counterbalancing for within & between subjects testing i.e. test (A or B, A-B, B-A))

---- Strange quality-of-life limitations (e.g. cannot move Maze studies from one project / folder to another)

---- Scalability issues (e.g. Figma prototypes often need to be specifically optimized or "scaled down" before they can be used in Maze. This process can get a little extreme as designers are forced to figure out how to "make their prototype smaller" and having to take extra time beyond what they expect to do for a study prep)

---- Tester database management that feels bare-bones; you can do what you need if all you care is Maze, but don't expect more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Maze?

The ease with which you can create tests and share them with a targeted user base Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maze?

Some figma prototypes do not work on mobile phones, which means that testers have to go to the desktop, which sometimes biases the tests Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Most useful platform to conduct user testing."
5/5
What do you like best about Maze?

The best thing I liked about Maze is the easy integration of Figma prototypes for prototyping testing, user testing. The cumulative responses gathered are easily converted into an excel sheet format, which helps track the data in a much better way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maze?

For people who are not aware or new to Maze, do not have much knowledge about what Maze is and how it works. It is a little difficult for a fresh, new designer to learn how Maze works and functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-friendly reports and test-build but buggy prototypes and limited conditions"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Maze?

I love the usability of the platform. It's so easy to build a test and review findings. It saves so much time to not have to write out a report but instead to share out what Maze created for us. I also love the types of qual and quant questions that we have access to. It makes for great content and usable findings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maze?

I don't appreciate how prototypes frequently crash for users, especially mobile users. Sometimes a user will go through the test more than once, causing our final number of participants to be inaccurate. I wish Maze allowed for blocks of questions where conditions could take users to a new block. That would allow us to build out better, more detailed tests without overwhelming users. I also wish the reports were easier to edit (change content, order of slides) or if they even gave the option to combine multiple test reports! I tend to go into Adobe Acrobat and do it myself if I need to combine reports, which adds time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent tool for Prototype Testing"
5/5
What do you like best about Maze?

The best use case in my opinion is the prototype testing. It is so easy to implement just by following the steps and uploading a prototype link from Figma. Also, teh recommendations given and teh templates provided help you create full tests in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maze?

If I had to say one bad thing, it would be the loading time of the test by the testers. I have been reported few time that it took so long that testers left the test even before starting it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good at complex surveys, but misses on some basics."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Maze?

I like that I'm able to create and link Figma prototypes for user testing.

I also appreciate the complexity of questions I can ask, and the different types of questions available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maze?

The email campaign manager is really clunky, and most of the emails I've sent using it have gone to spam folders. People also ignore the emails because they're coming from Maze, not from our servers. Paying extra for this feature is a bit wild, considering how limited our needs are. It seems like a basic thing.

Also, there's not much integration with platforms like Pendo.

It would also be great if research could be exported into PowerPoint or something similar—while PPT isn't great, it's ubiquitous, and it can be combined with other presentations given to stakeholders to defend choices. They don't want to read through reports on an unfamiliar platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
