Session Replay vs User Feedback Tools
Developers should use session replay tools when debugging complex front-end issues that are hard to reproduce, such as intermittent bugs or user-reported errors, as they provide concrete visual evidence of what happened meets developers should learn and use user feedback tools to enhance product quality and user satisfaction by systematically capturing user opinions and issues, which is crucial for iterative development in agile or lean methodologies. Here's our take.
