Amplitude Analytics vs Clicky

Likelihood to Recommend

The best use if there is a need to see events some particular user made. It can be useful to analyze what went wrong with users who stop using a product, or to find some pattern for users who purchased it.Another great use is if you need to set up more tricky funnels, which requires more advanced tools than most other similar apps have

There are no special resources needed to use Clicky - it works well for all the sites I've used it on, providing up to date metrics on visitors and actions. It started out as analytics particularly suited to bloggers and it's still very strong there, but I believe it can work in a wide range of scenarios.

Clicky wins out because it's extremely user-friendly and even a novice can quickly understand how to configure it to get meaningful data.
If you're managing multiple sites, the ease of copying your favorite dashboard views to another site is another big plus.
And the bounce rate metric is different from any other I've seen - really great for tracking blog visitors who may look at a single article before going elsewhere.

Cons

No capabilities to group numbers.
Impossible to aggregate the data altogether so sometimes it's hard to have a real overview of everything.
Even though I find the interface rather user-friendly and accessible to people new to data analysis, maybe it could be useful to have a step by step guide when starting using the tool.

It's hard to find a negative feature about Clicky, but if I must pick one, it would be the fact that some reports are only available for limited periods, which means you can't get a one year overview of all aspects of your site. That's just nitpicking, though, as what Clicky offers is more than enough for most people.

Alternatives Considered

Amplitude Analytics is an easier tool to use. It requires less knowledge of SQL and as long as you have notions of data analysis and retrieving data in general. It is much more user-friendly and allows for easy and quick reporting. It can be used by different teams and therefore can be an easily shareable tool.

I have tried a wide range of analytics packages and I've continued to use Clicky because data visualization is clear and it's easy to generate and extract useful reports that I can integrate into wider reporting on website performance. As far as I know, Clicky provides some of the most up-to-date real time data, so that what you see is an accurate reflection of what's happening on your site. While I still use Google Analytics, Clicky is a valuable addition.

Over the 7 years I've used it, Clicky has given me a better understanding of where my main visitors are coming from, contributing for example to a decision to create content in US English rather than my native UK English because most visitors are from the US.
Clicky provided real time stats when few others were doing so, enabling me to respond more quickly to visitors interacting with my content.
