    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.

    Piwik Pro Core is especially perfect for smaller businesses that want to have an alternative to Google's ecosystem. You can do a lot of the great stuff you can do with GA UA and GA4. But it still needs some tweaking. Especially for some bigger companies who have a lot of events, it would be great to have some smaller payment steps, as of right now it can be quite steep for some companies to pay the bill if you go above 500.000 events per month. Nevertheless, I believe this is one of the better options available when data ownership and privacy come to mind.

    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

    • Manage all campaigns and increase large volumes of data.
    • It has an excellent activity panel through which you can have complete visibility of each activity you carry out.
    • It's great to track all interactions between users and track all conversions.

    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

    • Filtering: ip ranges, hostnames, regex. These are a few things that aren't possible like we are used to.
    • Tag Manager: not all tags/triggers are possible yet to what we are used to.
    • Are more progressive payment model: more little steps to buy a plan.
    • Custom dimensions: they weren't available but are now. But they aren't that user friendly yet as I'm used to.

    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?"

    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

    Amplitude
    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.

    We had to contact the support several times in the beginning and they really took their time to explain the different functions in detail. So in terms of support I can definitely recommend Piwik PRO.

    In-Person Training
    Amplitude
    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

    Online Training
    Amplitude
    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.

    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.

    Piwik Pro's support for multiple sites saved me a lot of time. To view reports from numerous client sites, I'll have to access a single dashboard. Its digest reports save time and are simple enough for non-technical executives to understand. It gives us access to information about individual users that Google doesn't allow us to see as a whole. It will allow users to express their desires more clearly. As a result, this one is significantly more useful compared to other tools.
