Mixpanel

What do you like best about the product?

I’ve been using Mixpanel throughout my entire career in product management (6+ years), and to me, data-driven product management equals Mixpanel.

Without it, I wouldn’t be able to confidently ship serious features - nor truly understand what’s happening in production. I rely on Mixpanel to gather user feedback, monitor overall product health, identify patterns, debug stuff, and recruit users for qualitative research.

I use it almost every day. It’s intuitive, easy to use, and clearly built by people who understand what product managers and researchers need.

I’ve implemented Mixpanel across two companies, four products, and several side projects and I plan to continue championing it in future roles as well.

Also, the recent redesign was excellent - cleaner, faster, and a real step forward.

What do you dislike about the product?

Honestly, not much. I’ve tried multiple other product analytics tools (Amplitude, Smartlook, Heap, Pendo, etc.), and Mixpanel consistently comes out on top.

The only improvement I’d love to see is a smoother way to view and track sequences of events in a user’s activity feed. Right now, it can feel a bit clunky to open each event one by one just to check properties and piece together context. Having a more streamlined timeline view would make this process much easier, but I don't have a ready solution in mind.

The biggest problem solved by Mixpanel is understanding user behavior and flows on our applications. I also benefit a lot from the ability to use data on Mixpanel to present to investors.

We pipe a TON of events through mixpanel and it is ultra fast to query. I use it multiple times a day and it is my preferred analytics tool. It's easy for our team to add new events and track things.

Conversion optimization

What do you like best about the product?

We use mixpanel for two pourposes in our company: as a product management tool, and as a growth /experimentation tool. What we like the most about mixpanel is its adaptability to different use cases. The platform is robust in features so we can cover our needs, but also easy to use enough so we don't have to centralize our operations and become bottlenecks for people. Each team leader has access to the platform and configures it for what they need.

What do you dislike about the product?

One of the areas we didn't like about mixpanel when we started was a couple of changes in our account management contact / partner network. We met a local organization, stablished a relatinonship and just when things were taking of they changed us to another organization that was a bit intense in getting to acknoledge that we were ok with the transition but never really contacted us again to provide any sort of value.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mixpanel is helping us to prioritize our product feature backlog and add a data-driven process to running our growth experiments.
