Team Description
Pendo is a multi-app platform that gives users a better understanding of how their targeted applications are being used. Engage gives product teams a better understanding of their own product and how it’s being used, and Adopt gives organizations a better understanding of how their employees experience products that their organization uses, both ones they’ve built, and ones they’ve purchased. With both apps Pendo users are able to remove roadblocks, clarify, guide, and generally improve the experience leading toward better engagement and productivity.
