Depends

What users say

Users praise the capture depth, ease of use, and support but complain sessions pile up unwatched without dedicated analysts.

the data is there. and then it just... sits there. nobody watches the recordings. nobody digs into the events.

The ease of use and fast load speeds are some of the other factors that make FullStory worth it for me.
G2 review (via Copy.ai)
If you're investigating how users interact with a certain area, what the hotspots are, what the general patterns are, then it's pretty great.
