Storylane is super easy to use, and at the same time allows us to offer our clients something extra that their users love.
More options in the free version would be great
Helping our clients' users undestand how a product works in detail
It's user friendly, and it looks very professional to potential and existing customers.
The css functionality is limited and not very user friendly. And it's hard to set it behind a login portal so we had to built one ourselves.
It gives potential customers a better idea about our product and therefore limit the number of useless demo's.
The intuitive UI, simplistic design and the ability to use the tool without any hassles
It is a powerful tool and doesn't have anything to dislike as such !
Storylane is helping us create great content which is helpful in providing the real feel and experience of our application
Storylane is easy to use, and the team has been very helpful
havent noticed any issues with the tool yet
reducing the friction in getting prospects to experience the product
It is super easy to use and the functionality blew my mind. As a product marketing manager I am struggling sometimes to get a demos and nice videos to showcase new functionaltiy fast and quickly. Usually I struggle with testing data that I cant present and video creation from scratch takes time. I can create create demos for users in a seconds. I am able to quickly record our app and it turns quickly into demo that I can adjust, change data and names to fit my different purposes. I started to use it for demo video, where I prepare demo recordings for video guy and he quickly edit and prepare video. On top of that customer service is top notch.
Sometimes it has tiny bugs, but customer service is something that I ve never experienced before. They are super fast and they solve all your problems quickly.
To show and communicate the new feature functionality fast
The positive reception from customers and prospects, driving product understanding and interest. Storylane's outstanding user-friendly interface ensures fast and easy start-up, with a straightforward and intuitive process for creating robust demos. We appreciate the continuous development and release of new features, enhancing our ability to create powerful demos.
Although we recognize the value Storylane adds to our demos and guides, we see opportunities for improvement. Due to the intricacy of our product, our demos are often lengthy. Introducing additional features for bulk editing would be advantageous, as it could significantly streamline the editing process and save us valuable time.
Storylane plays a crucial role in engaging prospects at an earlier stage in their buyer's journey. It's beneficial to offer product information to prospects before they commit to a live demo or product trial. Through Storylane, we successfully enhance our marketing content, incorporating it into our website and email campaigns. This platform enables us to highlight product features and deliver comprehensive information, ensuring potential customers gain a clear understanding of what our product provides.
The onboarding experience is great, the platform is easy to use and intuitive, and it's versatile for the different use cases we have. Our whole company is finding ways to use it and we've had great feedback from all of them.
There are a few restrictions, and it can be hard to get the aspect ratio right if you're using both HTML and plain screenshots. The responsiveness could be improved, when using on smaller devices.
Storylane allows us to create training and demos for various departments in our business. Product showcasing and demos, internal training, new feature walkthroughs to name a few.
Easy to use and feature-rich without the complexity I experienced from other interactive demo providers. My contact at Storylane, Nalin, has been a pleasure to work with, and he always keeps me updated on new feature releases. Speaking of releases, I've been super impressed by the relevancy of each feature that is being released.
No dislikes. There's an opportunity to bring these demos to life by providing a "wrapper" around the demo. The wrapper could be an outline of a cell phone or tablet. I want my prospects to feel like they're using my solution in real life. I know this could be achieved with a web designer on my side, but it would be awesome if available from Storylane out of the box.
I can't offer free trials of my enterprise software, so this gets pretty close to me being able to do so.
The UX of the finished product is what really stands out for me. The implementation and integration of storylane is super quick and flexible. We used it extensively for a few days and now it runs on autopilot until the documentations need to be changed again.
I find the dashboard coupled with the pricing model sometimes a bit confusing. I am excited for future use cases and features storylane may bring!
It helps our users to understand our product from their perspective, as they are being guided through various complications in "first person".
What we like most about Storylane is the user friendlyness and how it easily allows you to create quick intuititve demos/walkthroughs of your products. We use Storylane for all our product showcases to our customers, as well as custom manuals for our products. It is also very easy to share your showcases with a quick link or integrate/embed them in your own platform, when doing this there are many options available for tracking and analytics.
It is currently not possible to add videos to a product showcase in Storylane. This would allow us to showcase our products in even more detail. Edit: The option to add videos was added to Storylane a few months ago, so I retract my statement above.
Storylane is helping our business by being able to easily automate the creation of product demos and manuals. Previously we had to use manual screen recordings with voiceovers, but we found that it was more difficult to approach our customers this way.
