Four reasons why WalkMe outperforms Pendo & Whatfix

AI-powered automation – no manual effort required.

WalkMe’s patented DeepUI technology adapts instantly, eliminating manual updates. Pendo lacks AI automation, and Whatfix requires constant maintenance—making WalkMe the only truly intelligent DAP.

Enterprise grade security & scale – unmatched compliance.

WalkMe is the only DAP with FedRAMP Ready & StateRAMP participation, ensuring enterprise-grade security. Pendo lacks key certifications, and Whatfix falls short of FedRAMP standards.

Data-driven by design – ROI you can measure.

WalkMe delivers 85% ROI, 87% fewer errors, and a 5.00/5.00 Forrester rating for automation—far beyond Pendo’s basic tracking and Whatfix’s limited reporting.

Proven expertise – the partner enterprises trust.

With 185+ partners & 7,000+ certified professionals, WalkMe leads in enterprise-scale adoption. Pendo is analytics-first, and Whatfix lacks proven large-scale deployments.
