Mixpanel uses MTU (Monthly Tracked User) pricing, which is designed to scale with your company. MTUs are roughly equivalent to the number of unique visitors on your product and each user is counted once per month, even if they use multiple devices. If Events based pricing makes more sense for your business, reach out to us and we can work with you!
Adobe Customer Journey Analytics is really well suited for large organizations with scale and a huge amount of offline/online data from various sources. However, for smaller/mid size businesses it may not be very efficient given the cost implications and dependencies around having AEP as well. There is an opportunity for Adobe to make this scaleable product more widely available but looking at options around how to make this product more mass-market.
As a worker in the sales area, I see closely how complex it can be to evaluate the commercial funnel and Mixpanel has been an indispensable guide to prioritize above all what customers expect to receive from our company, and thus be able to determine the main service we offer. Without a doubt, Mixpanel has special functions to be the one that guides the route and marks the objectives much more clearly.
Customer journey analytics can be used to analyse data from a range of data sources and the data can be visualised, filtered etc. by users.
It also allows users to handle custom data to handle their specific needs and the data can be catered as per users need its like your own customised platform.
The best part is the integration users can connect this to various other platforms with one ID. This helps the user with easier usage and less hassle as everything is kind off a click away.
Mixpanel is a daily use application for everyone in my organization; it helps us have a better flow of information and interaction between work teams.
The user interface of this platform is simple and has a wide variety of functions and resources to help us work in the most organized way, have better team coordination, and keep efficiency high.
I love that it is so easy to program our calendar to our liking, so we can prioritize our activities and know what is pending, and the best thing is that I can update the calendar if necessary.
The chat function is great to improve the interaction between colleagues and share work schedules and any information with third parties.
Journey Canvas UI, when using a mouse with scroll wheel, it defaults to zooming in or out of the map, and not up and down if the map is very extensive.
When trying to break down a dimension by a second dimension and third dimension. If you are replacing the 2nd dimension breakdown, it would be beneficial to keep the 3rd breakdown instead of wiping it out.
Mixpanel requires an explicit setting of events from your app. This means you need to be very thoughtful in the design of your events because missing one means you aren't collecting any data from it. Inserting it into the process later on then brings challenges in tracking when certain events came online.
A tool like Mixpanel comes packed with features that sometimes are harder to discover. It's very easy to get sucked into one part of its toolset and not be aware of other tools which may be very useful.
It's the most customizable and flexible analytics tool I've used. While the tool can be slow and clunky at times, the value it provides far outweighs those issues. Being able to bring offline data and merge with web data to combine in one place is where clients need to be get the most success out of their data
It's not an all encompassing solution like Google Analytics tries to be, but MixPanel offers much easier to use and understandable data insights. That's valuable when juggling many responsibilities as startup life demands, so a renewal would be easily justified.
The software is pretty easy to use, but if someone hasn’t really worked with similar software before, it can take a little time. We use simple searches to find help for specific tasks, and just make sure that when we have a newer person using the software, we spend sometime to help them understand it
Relativity easy to use. Once you get the hang of it, very easy to create dashboards for different use cases. I split my dashboards between customers or use cases
For the most part, CJA is available. There are instances where the product is experiencing an outage but I haven't found this to be super frequent to the point where it really impedes my work
Adobe Customer Journey Analytics is only as fast as the data that enters into it. If a business has Edge capabilities based on their use of Adobe's WebSDK, then all insights from the web data are in realtime. The moment this is stitched with batch data, such as the case in CRM data, then performance is slowed to the most latent performer. New methods of streaming in data from S3 or from more advaned data warehouses, such as Snowflake, are required in order to reduce latency.
Good enough tools and offline support. We had a model of "hypercare" that was mostly good, sometimes not good. But that was more personality/people based, rather than established processes. Overall the support was timely and effective
We have only ever had to use their support once, when we were setting up the account, but their responses were prompt and the solutions were well documented. The people who solved our issues were helpful, even to non-tech people.
Should be staged differently. It should be Do online stuff, get basic skills/qual. Then do "homework" type tasking, then come to class with an instructor. We got the traditional "start from 0, then step 1, then step 2..." training. This usually saps energy/focus. All training should be like a lab/practice session. If someone needs information or basic knowledge ... put it in a elearning, FAQ, job aid, or resource page.
Should have more of this for the 101-level stuff. No one needs a Zoom class covering the basics. I need a "guide on the side" when I'm learning new stuff. I want support while I practice.
Mixpanel has a great resource about their product, with videos on how to use it and real world examples from other companies on how they integrate Mixpanel into their business processes.
Again, somewhat annoying to be charged based on data points when many other analytics providers have one flat fee. Implementation was good, but I might have tracked a few more detailed points if I had the option.
So far, it is hard to see the advantage of CJA over GA4. However I have not had enough experience and training yet to be sure. Also, we have not taken full advantage of CJA yet. Another tool we use is Microsoft Clarity, which (for a free service) is quite powerful.
You have the ability to create 'user groups' with different levels of access in CJA. We helped set this up for a large organiztion where they had marketers, executives, devs and analysts all having different levels of access to use CJA but with the appropriate guardrails in place for each user group. It worked out really well for their organization.
Currently, the ROI is a bit extended as our use cases are a bit more complex than the average use case (but we are in active discussions with Adobe Product to improve)
The Adobe Customer Journey Analytics implementation has directly contributed to our company's ability to speak to enterprise orientation, we have seen customer omni-channel presence go up 5% in just one year
We've been able to increase the funnel conversions of one of our new product funnels from a 1% conversion rate to a 5% conversion rate.
We've been able to increase the CTR on another of our main product pages from ~3% to ~10% (so far)
We've been able to segment out how users from different traffic sources behave, allowing us to eliminate thousands of dollars of wasteful spending on advertising campaigns that weren't working.
