Critical evaluation:
Microsoft Clarity is a behavioral analytics tool focused on session recordings and heatmaps. It captures how users interact with websites and, via SDKs, mobile apps so teams can identify usability issues, friction points (e.g., “rage clicks,” “dead clicks”), and content engagement patterns.
Unlike traditional web analytics that emphasize aggregated metrics (sessions, traffic sources, conversions), Clarity is primarily qualitative and behavioral: it helps teams observe individual user interactions and then segment and investigate.
