Very User Friendly but Needs some basic Visualization help
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to get answers to the questions that Product Managers have about user behavior on their products. Analyses I like best are the funnel completion rates, time to complete a funnel, and Journeys (what do users do after they do a different event).
What do you dislike about the product?
The visualizations on the dashboards are lacking. I can't display all rows of a table very well. The cohorts and segments are also not intuitive to create.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data administration and management is very nice. Its easy to see and manage which events we want to record in our project.
Charts load very quickly and it is easy to quickly explore data by time, overall, and % of active users. The funnel functionality and user journey paths easily answer questions around user behavior, generally those questions are complicated to get answers for in other platforms.

Easy to use and can be done lot of analysis with ease.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy event integration and blocking of events. Simple UI. Love the new layout of the left and right data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Few date logic are not implemented. Say if i want to filter out the funnel wrt to certain date in segment I can't do for a longer duration as the logic won't be applied. Can be done for one day. If we build a logic to implement this it would be more helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Amplitude helps me in analysis the data quickly without depending on any other team members for the help. Previuosly when we were using Clevertap it used to take lot of time to do a simple analysis. But in amplitude I can do an analysis in just 5 mins which used to take 1 hour in Clevertap.
Time-saver for Data Scientists, Enabler for non-data people
What do you like best about the product?
Amplitude Analytics' drag and drop UI makes working with data approachable for people who don't know SQL. It is a huge unlock for those looking to explore their data themselves, and it has saved anywhere from hours to days for our data science teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
With the focus on usability and being UI based, Amplitude Analytics isn't infinitely flexible. There are use cases that we can't solve with Amplitude.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're tracking performance of key product launches, and we're using Audiences to build segments to send out comms to those users. It really is a full ecosystem at my org.
My experience with amplitude
What do you like best about the product?
Amplitude is an amazing tool to analyse user behaviour. With its dashboard and notebook function it's easy to get a quick overview of health metrics, which is great when you have a million other tasks waiting for you. I've also found the Amplitude academy courses extremely helpful to point me in the right direction in the beginning: it made people like me (inexperienced in quantitive analytics) develop a joy in using Amplitude!
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasional data discrepancies can be a challenge, especially for those new to the platform. It requires some expertise to troubleshoot these issues effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User metrics: understanding how users engage with our product. It helps us make product and content better.
Easy for ad-hoc analysis, lacks in deep analysis
What do you like best about the product?
Amplitude is easy to setup and customize on an ad-hoc level and to share dashboards and visualizations within the organization. Even though underlying data can be massive, loading time seem to be low which increases the usability and incentivize usage. Customer Support is helpful and responds quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel it lacks in deep understanding analysis and complicated analysis especially when it comes to aggregating different events where parameters might not be of the same format. For this I use SQL-based analysis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly analysing trends and ad-hoc requests
Great tool for understanding users experiences
What do you like best about the product?
The upsides are that you can see real time analytics and data. It's a very easy to use platform as well. It's a very simplified UI so it's very easy to navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Charts, dashboards and analytics and sometimes get lost as there is not a super great way of organizing content. The spaces feature is nice but could definitely be improved. Also, the formulas feature for segementation and other charts can definetly be limited on what you can track and how many metrics you can track. Additionally, wish there were more ways and capabilities to visualize the data in terms of colors, appearance, charts, and edits you can make.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identifying user flows and drop off patterns. Also understanding where and how users are converting. Measuring new feature performance and how groups of users interact with the product.
Amplitude is fantastic for flexible visualisations across the product stack
What do you like best about the product?
We really like the flexibility that Amplitude offers as a BI tool. As a company, we also use Looker but we find it difficult to create new dashboards really quickly without the input of developers. With amplitude, a large cohort within our company can comfortably spin up visualisations which are very important. This is especially helpful for GTM activities measuring data for new products. We think of it as more of a visualisation sandbox.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to it's flexibility, it can be a bit daunting initially. A lot of training is required so people understand how to comfortably build and design dashboards to get the result they are looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are constantly launching new products and this requires having to build visualisations for these products. Amplitude gives us a flexible tool to build visualisations so we can measure success on GTM activities and understand how the market is reacting to our feature releases. We also use Amplitude for product feedback on particular products which has been invaluable. Our organisation requires a lot of collaboration across numerous teams so Amplitude is also fantasticly accessible which is really important. We can also easily drill down into user data and get instant insights.
An incredible platform
What do you like best about the product?
Fast, powerful analytics at the drop of a hat. Saves us a ton in compute expenses running custom analytics in our warehouse. Fast outcomes!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some intersting nuances that your rep will need to clarify for your use case. It's not a simple implementation. The drop filters will leave you wanting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our analysts were running business critical complex custom SQL on hundreds of billions of rows in one-off queries that were becoming exceptionally taxing on our platforms. How can we offload complex analytics and democratize data exploration?

Offers depth of analytics and powerful visualization capabilities
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I loved using Amplitude because it allowed me to dive deep into product usage and analyze different customer segments. My favorite part was pinpointing exactly where customers were dropping off in their journey and understanding the events tied to conversions. This helped me focus on areas needing improvement, conduct customer interviews, and validate insights with existing reviews, leading to more informed decisions.
What needs improvement?
In terms of improvement, setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user. I relied on others who had specific knowledge, which sometimes caused delays due to resource constraints. It would have been helpful if the process of creating reports was more intuitive and user-friendly, allowing me to gain insights independently without relying heavily on the product team.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Amplitude for a year and a half.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Amplitude was very stable during my use. I never encountered any errors, which was refreshing compared to the occasional issues I have experienced with AWS products.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate Amplitude a solid ten for scalability. I didn't see any reasons why it couldn't handle scaling effectively.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Amplitude is easier to use than Splunk because its user interface is more intuitive and user-friendly. Splunk's interface felt technical and outdated, like an old mainframe system, while Amplitude's was much easier to navigate. Although Splunk might excel in detecting anomalies, Amplitude provided a smoother experience, especially for tasks like tracking performance over time.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Amplitude initially can vary in complexity. If you have all the necessary information, like event IDs and customer lists, and your requirements are straightforward, it's relatively straightforward. However, the complexity increases with more variables and larger datasets, making it a bit more challenging to work with.
What other advice do I have?
Amplitude played a crucial role in improving product decisions for our onboarding project. By analyzing user behavior, we identified key points where customers were dropping off in the activation process. This allowed us to tailor the onboarding experience, making it more personalized and engaging, resulting in higher activation rates and improved customer retention.
Integrating Amplitude with other tools in our stack improved our analytics capabilities. I didn't encounter any issues with its compatibility or functionality alongside other tools.
I would recommend Amplitude to others because of its depth of analytics and powerful visualization capabilities. Overall, I would rate it as an eight out of ten.
