What solutions does Pendo and Hotjar provide for Engagement Management?

Pendo and Hotjar both help companies understand user interactions and engagement. Pendo focuses on product engagement by tracking user behavior within software applications, while Hotjar primarily analyzes website user interactions. Both tools allow companies to observe user actions, but only Pendo provides the ability to directly interact with customers through features like surveys and guided tours. However, Hotjar offers real-time recordings of user interaction, which Pendo lacks. The limitations of these tools include the lack of comprehensive customer interaction options with Hotjar and the potential time commitment required for Pendo's features.
