Maze - Beautiful & actionable analytics for InVision prototypes

Thanks a lot for the hunt @ozgrozer ❤️ Too many businesses are wasting insane amounts of time and money building features just to realize that the design simply doesn’t work. This leads to frustration as teams end up rebuilding features instead of implementing new ones. We realized that there was a way to collect data much earlier in the process: performing quantitative user testing at the prototype phase to iterate quickly and effectively until your design is proven. This is why we created Maze: an affordable analytics and testing solution built on top of your InVision’s prototype. Let us know what you think, can't wait to read your feedback 🚀

Was searching for a product like this to organize our invision prototype testing, at first glance this looks simple and useful. Being able to select and push your prototype to different test groups or finding different test groups through this service would be AMAZING!

Pros:

Great for building and tracking user and design tests.

Cons:

Doesn't work as well on screens that have a time change function, confuses where templated hotspots are

I tested Maze with one of my invision prototype. The import is done automatically by copy pasting your invision link into Maze. Then you can create missions that your tester will have to complete. Once again all the experience is very intuitive.

Pros:

So easy to take in hand - Very nice design - Intuitive - The analytics are very useful

Cons:

nothing to report for the moment

Awesome product! Just had a play around, do you plan on offering any ability to collect other feedback from testers after they complete a test? The option to leave a comment somewhere would be useful.

Absolutely love how easy it is to import a prototype. Any plans to develop something similar for Marvel?

Nice Product! I think its one of the simplest yet most powerful extensions inVision hasn't launched (yet). As animation and transition in inVision evolve it should grow even more powerful. I'd like to know if you're planning on providing full recordings or maps of the mouse movements in a prototype? That would really make Maze a nice testing tool for new features. Thank you a lot!

@widawskij Really cool product and super useful - took me a while to get what it actually is from the headline. I would think think about making the value prop more simple. Something along the lines of: "Turn Invision prototypes into testable UX flows", etc. :)

Very useful. This is the kind of utility I always hoped invision would add natively. Will be definitely using it for a current project and excited to see how it grows. A future feature request would be to enable active feedback prompts (text, multiple options) at certain triggers/screens.

Very cool. I always admire simplicity of really good products. You’re plugging into a current workflow, which makes my life as a designer, much easier 👍

Well, I might give it a couple more days of testing...

Pros:

Amazing design!

Cons:

None that I can see

@widawskij Been using this product today and besides some bugs I noticed and listed previously, I didn't see any way to turn on hotspot hints ( maybe intentional to test design? ) or have a tester Identify themselves as invision offers. When attaching the prototype to a maze both invision features are removed. Without the ability to track testers of the prototype with at least their name, It makes it difficult to know which users tested it and which did not, which makes paid user tests really difficult to do in the current version of the app. To me this is the achilles heel right now, I like all your features as it streamlines and normalizes the prototype instructions, but if I can't determine which users are completing it then I can't use it for paid tests.

For what it's worth, your PH page provides more value to me than the website. I'd update the copy and some of the images to match what you have here.

Sometimes you miss some things in a usability test because you were occupied applying the test and your test companion didn't take notes, so with Maze we're catching more things, we're more free to pay attention to just applying the test

Pros:

Really good to better catch usability test results

Cons:

Expensive

It is very useful app for me! Thank you!
