The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

What differentiates Hotjar from other similar products?
I am not aware of other heat map programs with a free version.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
HotJar has a free version that is adequate for high-level visitor behavior insights displayed in a way that makes sense even to non-technical clients.
What do you dislike most about this product?
HotJar segments data based on desktop, tablet, and phone users. However, there is no source/medium segmentation, so organic, paid, and social traffic are lumped into one report.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Definitely give the free version a try. Implementing the code using Google Tag Manager works very well.
