Easy AF - A bit pricey
What do you like best about the product?
Disclaimer: I've only utilized PostHog as POC and we ultimately decided to go with another company due to pricing.
Pros:
- Easy to implement (docs are well written and straightforward)
- Works with legacy platforms/projects (huzzah!)
- Just goes once you've done minimal setup. It's nice really.
I haven't tried all features. My company was focused on feature flags and A/B testing as a starter (we use another company for replays and other things). The features I tried were simple to add to the project and easy to see results from.
All in all - they are exactly as they claim - simple to setup and get going, and get results.

What do you dislike about the product?
Cons:
- Pricing structure is complicated (which it's hard not to be with the model they have, but it makes it complicated for us to estimate)
- The fact that all site hits count against the quota makes it hard to swallow things like page views and page leaves that just rack up cost - especially when there are so many other (free) options for these things. I'd rather cut out page views and page leaves and leave them else where . . . but then you're piecemealing for pricing and that's never a good idea.
And I am concerned about the longevity of the company. It doesn't seem like they're focusing on customers currently - more their own internal team (which is a great period of growth for any company, so kudos). I feel like they've mostly "set" their feature set and are working on internal growth at this point.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needing me to write your executive summary? :D
PostHog offers a solution for us to create and implement feature flags for A/B testing quickly and easy. I was running a test in less than an hour.

Plenty of features and a generous few tier
What do you like best about the product?
PostHog brings a whole toolbox of things one needs when running an early stage business - all with a generous free tier so one can really experience the product before switching to a paid plan. That they're OSS also gives me the peace of mind that i can self host if things go bad. Their SDK is easy to add, and they have a comprehensive API should you want to automate things further.
What do you dislike about the product?
None so far really. I suppose competitors like Amplitude have more features, but that hasn't been an issue for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to setup, privacy friendly user metrics, along with a host of other tools (feature flags etc)
I've used PostHog for a bit and I can see myself using it for every future project when I can
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that PostHog is developer friendly. Everything about it makes me love using it. It's very very easy to integrate in my projects and the documentations are top notch.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hmm, I think there's a lot of features that I haven't had the time to explore them fully.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We really wanted a way to track different aspects about our users including if they accomplish various tasks or events.
PostHog is a great solution for on-prem deployment.
What do you like best about the product?
I like PostHog best due to its powerful open-source analytics platform that provides in-depth insights and data on user behavior. The user-friendly interface, event tracking, and funnel analysis capabilities make it easy to identify my website's performance. I choose posthog because it is the most mature opensource user analysis product after a investigation on about 5 different candidates.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am using the self hosted version of posthog. It has some limit like you can only create one project and can not use group analysis. but since its free, I am OK with these limitations.
BTW, while using it, I encounter a bug that I can not delete my project on the panel.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PostHog is solving several problems related to product analytics and user behavior tracking on websites include:
1. Privacy: PostHog is an open-source and self-hosted solution, which helps protect user data. User data are only stored in my own database, and I can delete them anytime I want.
2. Tracking website performance from basic pv/uv to user actions: PostHog provides a comprehensive set of features for tracking user behavior on websites, including page views, clicks, form submissions.
3. Easy to integrate with other system. It provide a simple API for data ingestion and data export. I can export the insights to other system for further analysis and visualization.

Migrating from Amplitude to PostHog
What do you like best about the product?
The free tier is generous, and setup was really simple. The SDK is straightforward and it's easy to follow up events in the interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that an identify event goes through your quota is a bit misleading as it essentially will cost 1 event per user even if they do not generate any tracked event.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Get insights on how users interact with my app.
Run A/B tests and experiments in order to have a definite answer about if a change is impactful (e.g. when assessing conversion).

Better, Scrappier Mixpanel
What do you like best about the product?
Setup is easy, clear pricing, nice to have regular analytics and screen recordings in same tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
screen recordings are often missing some visual details. Great because we feel like we're getting it for "free" by already having an account, but would be harder to justify paying for individually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basic user funnel tracking and being able to see detailed views of how our users interact with the site via session recordings
My go-to tool for analytics
What do you like best about the product?
First I love the features the tool offer. Then, the simplicity of implementations and integrate with other tools.
And the ability to create custom insights based on a lot of properties is crazy!
Great tool

Great tool
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see the heatmap without going to the live page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Posthog I do not need 10 tools to make : analytics, heatmap, AB tests & dashboarding.
Just one (and great) tool.

Lots of features but easy to get started
What do you like best about the product?
Posthog is a feature rich service that worked for us almost right out of the box. It was quite easy to set up feature flags and monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to the large number of features the user interface can be a bit daunting at first. It takes some time to learn how to navigate and find what you are looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using the feature flags and it has greatly simplified the process of enabling and disabling features in production.
Intuitive tool which assist multiple roles
What do you like best about the product?
The intuitive it is built
The JS npm package which made it easy to integrate
The Slack channel we have with the PH team that provides fast help and support
The fast development of the product (for example surveys feature)

What do you dislike about the product?
Replays sometimes appear broken
Managing multiple projects causes links to break

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First of all, using the A/B testing we are using it as sort of a CMS. This enables multiple roles to collaborate and ship product changes without needing developers.
Second of all, we create product charts there to measure features' effectiveness after rollout and make decisions based on that
Third, We are also using it to troubleshoot issues with the Sentry integration

Amazing all-in-one analytics tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Insights are easy to surface on your own as an engineer. We use feature flags and experiments to help us roll out features confidently, and the way Posthog combines both of those products is incredible. And the integrations with Segment has made Posthog super easy for us to adopt in our product.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've noticed some issues with how the web SDK loads flags—but we're hoping those will get resolved soon
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Posthog is huge for us as a startup. We use it for launching features with feature flags and experiments. Cohorts and it's own query language, HogQL, make it easy to target the right users. And we heavy use of dashboards and the Slack integrations to get everyone on our team visibility into what's happening with our product.
