Segment makes piping data to any app easy.
What do you like best about the product?
The time you save & flexibility you gain from using Segment is really good - of course if you're running a very lightweight analytics stack (few 3rd party tools) it's not a software for you necessarily, but as your company grows and you add these tools Segment becomes invaluable. So i'd say invest early and reap the benefits later in either case :)
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much tbh... maybe it'd be nice to cache the last 10 (20?) events per event if i wanted to look into them in the "debugger" mode instead of having to wait for new events to trickle in
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use segment with to pipe data to different apps (track/identify calls) plus their ETL product to load event data into redshift. Having a uniform way to implement analytics track calls is nice, and getting the ability to "turn on" data streams into pretty much any 3rd party app on the fly from the segment dashboard is very powerful
Excellent product
What do you like best about the product?
I like that its so easy to setup new marketing tools. A few clicks and I have new tools fully integrated and receiving data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to filter data like internal traffic etc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Much much easier tracking and analytics
Great tool to listen and act on real time data events and analytics with no tech investment
What do you like best about the product?
Seamless information flow between third party tools and business application.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need further enhancements for non tech users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Live analytics, Funnel drop off conversions
Recommendations to others considering the product:
try it out. Its great
Essential if you have tracking in mind
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way it integrates with any other analytics and marketing tools and seemingly collect and pass on the full customer data. I was also impressed by the price and ease of implementation.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the purpose that Segment fulfills, i don't see any faults or lack of features. All that was needed is there pre-packed and ready.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to tie user data with its session data in an easy way and have it passed on to other analytic tools and marketing tools to properly analyze conversions, the path to conversions, session details and so on. Segment was essential in tying user data with session, now each session corresponds to a specific user with all its historical data and not just an anonymous number.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You have to try Segment, it is the tool to tie all your user data.
The only analytics tool that is an absolute must
What do you like best about the product?
With Segment, my company has been able to decouple our software development efforts from improvements to our analytics, allowing our business to analyze data easier and simpler than ever before.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some third party integrations require special data be sent in order for them to work correctly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of our company's analytics are being done through Segment now, letting us iterate on how we react to data at the speed of our data analysts instead of at the speed of software development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the documentation carefully and use the entire range of API calls, including "alias," from the beginning.
Great for startups
What do you like best about the product?
Implementing segment in your code will allow you to use 3rd parties with very low effort
What do you dislike about the product?
Some bugs need to be ironed out. Integration with some 3rd parties need rework to be more robust.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very low implementing & switching costs between 3rd parties (wanna switch from Mixpanel to Aplitude? Done in 5 minutes without a line of code)
Send product usage data to any system!
What do you like best about the product?
Sending product usage data to any system. It allows other teams (marketing, sales, etc.) to start using this data and implementing new systems without any engineering time. It's awesome!
The team and the level of support they provide is remarkable.
The team and the level of support they provide is remarkable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I have found at all to dislike. It is incredibly easy to use and valuable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can automate how we communicate with our customers based on how they use our product. We can then encourage ideal customer behaviour.
Best option for instrumentation
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility! Love the ability to send data wherever and combine datasets in redshift.
What do you dislike about the product?
Web interface used to be very clunky, now it is much easier to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One time instrumentation! Saves tons of time and takes out friction from trying out 3rd party tools
Bringing it all together
What do you like best about the product?
We can bring information in from our application and send it out to a variety of sources to track metrics, usage, communications, conversions and more. Instead of littering our code with a dozen javascript libraries, links and other maintenance and loading headaches, we can consolidate it into calls that do what we specifically want.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the integrations don't let you set filters for what events to send through without paying a lot for their business plan (not great for startups). For example, we don't always want to include our developers in analytics, but we need to write the filters on the app side as opposed to the segment side in order to facilitate this. In addition, integrating it into your app requires coding on your app side. It would be nice if you could feed selected info to segment and then create rules on the segment side as to what to do with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have improved page load time for our app while simultaneously allowing more systems to get our data, and to get the data in a structured way that we define.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Unless you can do some scripting/coding, this product isn't for you. However, if this doesn't frighten you, Segment is a very powerful tool for spraying information across a variety of destinations.
