"Comprehensive Insights with Excellent Support"
What do you like best about Pendo?

I like that Pendo is a comprehensive tool that embeds user data across views, allowing me to get a 360-degree view of what users are doing and thinking. I appreciate their customer support, which is excellent and responsive. The new agent analytics feature is a game changer for us as we launch our own AI products, letting us track and understand how users interact with our LLM assistant. We also benefit from having a technical account manager who helps us get all the value we can from Pendo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pendo?

Maintaining feature tags for analytics is a constant challenge and requires attention and dedicated responsibility. Pendo are introducing ways to make this process more robust but it is still a largely manual effort. The initial feature tagging effort was large and we made a number of mistakes which we are still correcting now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mixed Bag: Effective Communication Tools, But Setup Challenges"
What do you like best about Pendo?

I appreciate the custom coding options available in Pendo, which significantly enhance its flexibility and usability. These options are especially valuable when the standard, in-the-box solutions fall short, as they allow me to tailor the software precisely to meet our unique needs and overcome specific limitations of Pendo itself, thereby resolving issues and addressing constraints effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pendo?

I dislike the limitations in Pendo guides, as they do not offer as much guide metrics for dashboards, and new features cannot be copied across subscriptions. Additionally, Pendo's chat AI seems to replace the ability to create clear support tickets, and it fails to create tickets when there is a bug. There's also an issue where we need to tag an element on the page but point to a different element, particularly with embedded guides. I also find the initial setup of Pendo challenging and time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Started using Pendo at my current job, and now use it every single day and attend their conferences"
What do you like best about Pendo?

What I like best about Pendo is how seamlessly it connects product usage analytics with in-app guidance. It’s a rare combination that lets us both understand user behavior and act on those insights directly in the platform. The ability to create targeted walkthroughs, onboarding flows, and feedback polls without engineering support has been a game-changer for helping users adopt new features and for training internal teams. I've also always been a bit intimidated by creating my own dashboards to monitor feature and product usage and identify knowledge gaps, but Pendo makes this extremely simple and easy to setup and their excellent UI helps make the process enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pendo?

Pendo is incredibly powerful, but some aspects of setup and organization can feel complex or disorganized, especially when managing multiple apps or large guide libraries. It takes some time to build a clean, scalable structure for tags, segments, and guides. That said, once it’s in place, the payoff is absolutely worth it. I'd love for Pendo to implement more options for organizing pages, features, dashboards, reports, guides, etc. Something like the ability to group things with sub-groups/folders or more ways to tag objects for simple filtering.

What do you like best about Pendo?

Pendo provides robust analytics that make it easy to monitor user behavior in detail. The in-app guides are especially helpful for streamlining onboarding and encouraging users to adopt new features. By integrating analytics with user feedback, it becomes much easier to make informed product decisions. Overall, it serves as a comprehensive solution for boosting user experience and engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pendo?

The interface may seem somewhat complicated for newcomers. Configuring advanced analytics or creating segments often necessitates some technical assistance. The pricing structure can be expensive, particularly for smaller teams or startups. There are also occasional delays with data syncing and generating reports.

"Streamlined In-App Guidance & Effective for User Engagement"
What do you like best about Pendo?

The customer support team stands out as one of the best — they are prompt, patient, and consistently provide clear guidance whenever issues arise or clarification is needed.

Integration with Pendo was straightforward, especially for embedding product analytics and in-app guidance. While there’s a slight learning curve for new users, the platform becomes intuitive over time, and the setup process is largely self-serve after the initial stages.

One of the strongest features is the ability to create in-app guides and run NPS surveys without needing code deployments.

Overall, Pendo has been a valuable addition to our product toolkit — especially for improving user engagement and closing the feedback loop efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pendo?

The platform currently lacks robust in-app filtering and sorting options. This makes it harder to drill down into specific user segments or behaviors directly within the interface, adding friction to analysis workflows.

There’s no native feature to identify users who have opted out of NPS surveys. This limits visibility into survey engagement gaps and makes it difficult to understand the full response context.

Pendo does not automatically exclude or manage decommissioned accounts, which can lead to inflated or misleading user data unless handled manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Game changer for businesses who want to learn how their software is being used"
What do you like best about Pendo?

I really appreciate being able to combine data analytics with customer in-app engagement, all through a no-code solution. This integration makes it much easier for me to manage both aspects without needing to write any code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pendo?

To track features, you need to manually tag them. While this isn't difficult, it does add an extra step whenever you release something new. That said, Pendo has improved significantly and now makes tagging much easier with its tagging suggestions, which I find myself using quite often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
