Turning a confusing and complex process of web analytics, into a clear and easy one.
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about PostHog is it's ability to automatically collect the majority of relevant analytics information without having to manually identify each event/item of interest. This is not the case with the main player in the space, Google Analytics.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that we were not able to add domain whitelisting on our plan without paying for the additional cost of a proxy. While the free tier is quite generous, the very first paid tier is not accessible to early bootstrapped projects at $250.00/month.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With very little effort, we have been able to migrate away from Google Analytics. Our pain-point with Google Analytics is that we needed to implement the capture of analytics events and items in a manual way. This means that any new additions to our web app, we needed to consider all of the analytics implications and build it in. Posthog solves this with their ability to automatically capture the majority of the events and items that we're interested in immediately, including the console logs as well.
Effortless to Use with Outstanding Support
What do you like best about the product?
It's the ease of use and the way the whole product and customer support communication is handled.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this point, I'm completely satisfied.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me check web and product analytics without cookies.
Impressive Heat Maps and Screen Recording, Perfect for Beginners
What do you like best about the product?
Heat maps, user habit tracking and the high-quality screen recording feature really impressed me. The features in the free version are excellent for beginners.
What do you dislike about the product?
As much as I love the screen recording feature, I didn't enable it myself and I don't know how it is legally approached in my country.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a developer working on my own, I can build my own website, but I was getting stuck when it came to the business analysis part. Thanks to Posthog's user-friendly interface, it becomes easy even for people like me who don't understand it at all.

I like PostHog, even the gritty bits
What do you like best about the product?
I love how much there is, There's a tool for everything. The metrics make my bosses happy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could manually identify individual users (like many of my test users) from the webapp or find the docs that tell me how to do that (if the feature even exists)
We're using PostHog via an integration with Fern and I can't instrument an identify call.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PostHog gives me a lot of usage insight on my docs site that I wouldn't get otherwise. I LOVE the error tracking, as we have a bunch of custom components on the site. It helps us make sure stuff isn't totally broken.
Effortlessly Manages Analytics with Customization, Needs Mobile App
What do you like best about the product?
I find PostHog incredibly easy to set up, which was a big relief for me as I navigated website analytics for my startup. The software's ability to handle a high volume of website data is impressive, assisting me in making well-informed decisions. Its customization options are highly beneficial, as I can adjust and tailor the analytics to fit my specific needs. The overall ease of use is fantastic and is a significant factor in my willingness to repurchase or recommend this product. I even rated my likelihood of recommending PostHog to others a ten out of ten.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that PostHog does not have a mobile application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use PostHog to sort website analytics, which helps me make better decisions for my startup.
Stunning UI and Versatile Features, Minor Setup Hiccups
What do you like best about the product?
First the UI. A UI like that makes me wanna use the app.
For the features I really love how easy they are to implement and the wide variety. I can do everything from basic analytics to error tracking in the same app.
Love the pricing and the transparency!

Love the pricing and the transparency!
What do you dislike about the product?
What has been a bit less enjoyable for me maybe is the setup for error tracking and also sometimes the proxy for nextjs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use posthog as a hub to catch everything piece of information and analytics about my apps. I'm using error tracking, surveys, analytics, and I'm planning to add heatmaps in the near future. It has helped me catch some bug numerous times !
Powerful All-in-One Platform, But Desktop-Like Design Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
This platform provides seamless integration with Next.js and brings together an extensive set of features, making it a robust all-in-one solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new landing page desktop-like design is confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This platform eliminates the hassle of switching between different tools, as it combines Product Analytics, Error Tracking, and Web Analytics all in one place. From an agency perspective, where time is crucial, having everything on a single platform allows us to access the information we need quickly.
Seamless Integration with Robust Features
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how PostHog offers an integrated feature package that stands out without having direct competitors, which is quite beneficial. The ease of integration is commendable, thanks to the extensive developer documentation available, making the setup quick and efficient. I find the system's insights into user interactions incredibly useful, allowing for smoother feature rollouts. The feature flags, in particular, are very effective, and the seamless integration with our user system is a standout, enabling easy selection of users for feature rollouts. Additionally, the platform's orientation towards self-service with robust documentation and simple usability across multiple languages is a significant advantage. The user interface is another aspect that I find impressive, as it enhances the overall experience with the service.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the API survey feature to be problematic. We're trying to use our own styling and are relying on the API survey feature, but the current setup seems cumbersome as it requires passing specific IDs for existing questions from PostHog. It's not straightforward when using our API, and though we found a workaround by sending data as JSON keys, this approach is not officially supported. This lack of flexibility in using the API option is frustrating. Additionally, better documentation is needed for this feature. Another concern is the pricing, which I suspect might be high given the range of features, though I have not seen the billing details myself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use PostHog for insights on users and smoother feature rollouts, benefiting from easy integration and quick feature deployment.
Fantastic Support and Pricing
What do you like best about the product?
The developer first approach and easy ability to connect with real humans is fantastic. The generous free pricing quotas just can't be beat. The super cool retro styling on the website is the cherry on top.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a Ruby library, but the Ruby / Rails integration is not as seemless as some other tools (e.g. Mixpanel for analytics or Rollbar for errors).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
insights into what my users are doing, how features are working, and general analytics
