COMMON PROBLEMS

Most common mistakes when using Pendo

Misfiring Event Tags

Challenge: If the tags designed to track important product usage events don't trigger correctly or capture data accurately, you'll miss out on valuable insights.

Impact: This can lead to an incomplete or flawed understanding of how users are interacting with your product, which features are most popular, and where they might be encountering difficulties.

Inconsistent Metadata

Challenge: If your events are missing required metadata, it can negatively impact your ability to perform effective cohort analysis and user segmentation.

Impact: Without consistent and complete metadata attached to your events, you'll have a limited ability to group users based on shared characteristics or behaviors. This makes it harder to understand how different user segments are interacting with your product over time.

Integration Gaps

Challenge: If Pendo isn't well-connected with your other tools, like Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or Customer Data Platforms (CDP), it can hinder your ability to get a complete picture of the user journey.

Impact: These integration gaps can lead to fragmented data and a lack of a unified view of your users' interactions across different touchpoints. This makes it difficult to understand the full customer experience, identify key drop-off points, or personalize interactions effectively based on a holistic understanding of their journey.

No Version Tracking

Challenge: If you don't track the different versions of your features, it can complicate your user experience (UX) experiments.

Impact: Without knowing which feature version a user is interacting with, it becomes difficult to accurately attribute feedback or behavior observed during your experiments. This lack of clarity can lead to inconclusive results and hinder your ability to effectively iterate on your product's UX based on reliable data.

Delayed Detection

Challenge: Data quality issues often aren't discovered until it's too late to take effective action based on timely insights.

Impact: This lag in identifying problems can lead to missed opportunities, incorrect analyses, and potentially flawed decisions. By the time the issues are recognized, the context or the window for impactful intervention may have passed, limiting your ability to optimize performance or address user needs proactively.
