Likelihood to Recommend Amplitude Analytics is well suited for scenarios where you have multiple data points to understand customer behavior and journeys and utilize simple to medium complexity graphs/charts. It may not be suitable for scenarios where you need to slice and dice data into highly customizable dashboards as that requires significant effort from technical teams.
Read full review It is a little too limited for a full stack experimentation programme. Many times we required development support or tech advise but we were simply unable to get this due to it being google. This was a big problem for us. However it is quite good if you were looking to get started in experimentation and didn’t have the budgets for a wider tool
Read full review Pros Feature analytics - measuring frequency of usage Time taken by users to convert in funnels Actions that drive certain user behaviors in funnels via correlation Actions that lead to user drop off in funnels via correlation Comparing behavior of two custom user cohorts Read full review Easy to follow set up procedures. Once I walk a client through the process, it's effortless for them to emulate on subsequent tests. Lots of geo and user attribute customization features to be able to drill down into specific targeted audiences — all based on the power of Google's immense data system. Google Optimize is the logical choice for many people to start with since most are already familiar with and using GA. Read full review Cons Some more clarity and examples of implementation with GDPR in mind Some segregation inside user properties can be difficult to implement Splicing information inside funnels could be more intuitive User support for the cheaper tiers is hard to access Pricing transparency really needs to be improved Read full review Only works for browsers, not for the apps testing. Missing possibility to test complicated features. Audience division in groups is not always accurate. Read full review Usability Google has always been known to make easy-to-use products. The Google Optimize interface is intuitive and easy to follow for anyone.
Read full review Support Rating I haven't used the Amplitude support other than their training docs so I can't speak too much to the in-person support but the docs are serviceable. Nothing too crazy but between the user tips, email notifications, and the decent number of docs I was able to get the support I needed to ramp up on the tool.

Read full review Alternatives Considered It's the best in class with all the bells and whistles. Other options could suit you just fine at a lower price point, but you need to be sure of what you are not getting and the switching cost associated with when you do need it.
Read full review Google Optimize being part of the Google stack makes it great in reporting and analysis. Wish Google would add more features like dynamic tests, multi funnel tests, conversion calculator based on the total number of traffic of the page being tested instead of using the websites total traffic. Should integrate form analysis, heatmap, and page analytics.
