Hi,
Has anyone used tools to conduct remote unmoderated usability
sessions? We are searching to find new tool(s) that can enable us to
conduct this type of research in future. Your suggestions about
tools, pricing, what worked, and what did not work for you, are
greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

We've been using Usertesting.com for this purpose but their ability
to screen specific users is rather limited right now. There seems to
be a lot of self proclaimed web experts acting as users.

This was posted somewhere the other day, I haven't had a chance to
look at it myself but perhaps others have or know of it.

according to the website "Loop11 is a web-based user-experience
tool, allowing companies to conduct remote, unmoderated usability
testing on any kind of digital interface."

Keynote Systems has a solution for this, but be forewarned, it's not cheap.

Hi Shima,
We use Net Meeting for our basic remote usability testing.
No special tools, just good internet connection and proper working test system.

Jay Kumar

Hi Jay,
There is many different types of remote usability testing. They full into
two different basic types Asynchronous and Synchronous. Net Meeting falls
into the Synchronous category.
My partner Sabrina Mach explains here in this blog post

basic types of remote usability.
Hope you find the post useful.
All the best

I've looked at quite a remote tools recently particulalry for
running unmoderated tests for getting some benchmark data. As much as
I hate to admit it the price has always been an issue. UserZoom,
KeyNote look great but way out of my (usual clients) budget. Loop11
and Optimal workshop also have interesting offerings in Beta (with no
costing information).
@James Page I'm looking forward to seeing Webnographer.
In the end I followed the lead of Tom Tullis and built my own. It's
does similar things to the UserZoom and Loop11 tools (not quite as
much) but cost me very little.
I won't bore the group here with what or how but if you want to
discuss this further feel free to mail me direct.
