    Amplitude Analytics is an excellent solution for anyone with a mobile app and you want to track what users are doing, are they completing conversion steps, and are they coming back more often. This all helps you visual your customer bases engagement and help project future engagement and create goals. This also helps with prioritizing products to address drop-off points in the product to increase conversions.

    When we knew that there were some website issues, we were able to use Decibel Insights to really pinpoint the issue and then work on a fix. Again, if we are doing a CRO test then we could also use the tool for a similar reason. It is less suitable for complex websites or websites that are frequently changing, as a lot of support is required by the team and it takes a lot of admin to keep the Decibel Insights account working as effectively as it should.

    Pros
    Amplitude
    • Feature analytics - measuring frequency of usage
    • Time taken by users to convert in funnels
    • Actions that drive certain user behaviors in funnels via correlation
    • Actions that lead to user drop off in funnels via correlation
    • Comparing behavior of two custom user cohorts

    • Heat mapping provides a great understanding of UI pain points/bugs
    • Integration with analytics tools (we use Adobe) brings in analytics analysis as well
    • Helps to understand the user journey and where dropoff is occurring

    Cons
    Amplitude
    • Some offerings seem duplicative, like dashboards and notebooks, which only seem to differ in that one can subscribe to dashboards
    • The messaging on valid vs invalid property types could be better explained to clarify which types (string, Boolean, integer, etc) are expected in particular scenarios. Though the type is usually set during event creation, we've often seen examples where the data received in production is different, leading to 'invalid type' errors

    • Being able to create groups of segments would be useful.
    • The interface for selecting page types needs more options, it can be difficult to use if you have lots of similar pages.
    • Would be good if top level stats were presented in different ways, or in a more visual way (ie pie charts, graphs).
    • Generating reports - it would be nice if I could export charts and graphs instead of just CSV files.

    Great product Good value for the cost/initiate Support docs and FAQs are great - they limit the necessity of reaching out to in-person support. So when you do call them ... it is for a legit question/issue, no just a "where is it" or a "how to I do xyz123?"

    I've heard about some new features that are coming online soon to do with tracking forms. They also offer a lead tracking package that we haven't tried yet, but I'm keen to check out.

    Usability
    Amplitude
    It's a fairly straightforward platform that's beginner friendly. The biggest usability hurdle is most often created by your own team, as it's imperative to know what event sources are being sent to Amplitude and what those event names are. Within being properly onboarded by a team member it can be hard to get started using Amplitude. It takes time to understand what data your company may be sending to the product, the naming conventions of events (especially if there are old or deprecated events names

    Alway up and running, or if there is a problem we can get back in the game right away. The reliability was a big selling point for me, and it was true when this company got it. Rollouts can be tough, but this was pretty seamless. Good support throughout the process, good documentation to handle questions/tips

    No issues, problems, or negative remarks from us!! We had a plan, vendor support was rock solid, our data folks have experience, OCM supported as needed, and we got the rollout done on time, on budget, and with only minor hiccups. SInce the rollout, most of us have already forgotten the hiccups and generally speak highly of the product

    I haven't used the Amplitude support other than their training docs so I can't speak too much to the in-person support but the docs are serviceable. Nothing too crazy but between the user tips, email notifications, and the decent number of docs I was able to get the support I needed to ramp up on the tool.

    Virtual Not bad considering the timeframe and turnaround. The biggest benefit was for my end-users to hear a voice (other than mine/ours! LOL) telling them about the new features and capabilities. The in-person training was really good for having an expert that knows the answers and could refer to past experiences, problems, solutions. THey were a great resource to ease the transition ... basically a "you are gonna be okay with this change ... you got this etc.!" kinda vibe

    Good enough to get strong baseline. I always make sure our our users go to and/or focus on the vebndor-provided support docs rather than any formal training. Our instructors come and go, but written policy and how-to docs live much longer in a corporate setting. That said, the online training is sufficient. I like that the training curric is stacked and progressive.

    Amplitude
    My team members all have background as data analysts, so Amp was pretty easy to for them. There was sufficient online training available. We also used the available support documents. The actual rollout went well. We did significant testing beforehand. We did a phased rollout, with partial silent rollout (part of OCM's plan) for the smallest line of business. THe silent one was "silent" b/c it was done without fanfare or public notices ... it was just a "we're doing some things, it wont impact your work or workday

    Amplitude Analytics provides much more granular data than Google Analytics and gives you much more flexibility in how you can segment and splice the data. It also provides the ability to create closed funnels, which I have yet to find out how to do in Google Analytics. Amplitude has a very similar interface to Mixpanel, with a few handy additions, like the ability to name and categorize your events.

    I have used Hotjar before, and in comparison, the functionality and the abilities in Decibel Insights are so much more advanced. The only downside is the price difference between the two tools, but the adaptability and the customer support you get with Decibel Insights definitely make it a more manageable and long-term tool to integrate with your marketing activity.
