Amplitude Analytics vs. Localytics

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.

For the price and the features available, Localytics is one of the best options. It is more robust in areas that we don't need it to be and overall there could be simpler flows for sending push notifications or performing actions that you need to do every week. Also, the data it sends back on how push notifications perform is basically useless. There needs to be more explanation on the impact notifications have on users. The data would always say that notifications drove less engagement but we would see engagement go up every time we sent a notification.

• 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

Incentivized

• Great web interface which provides a couple of levels of pivoting and filtering of data
• Straight-forward integration for simpler use cases
• Access to raw data through S3 for use in your own data pipeline

Incentivized

• 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

• The biggest thing I would like to see with Localytics is the capability for more correlations. The limited amount of correlations available does restrict the type of analyses that could be done with the data.
• An easier interface to move data into Microsoft Excel would be very useful, rather than creating annoying workarounds.
• More/better automatically scheduled reporting, as well as an Excel plug-in to access the data rather than being restricted to the Localytics interface.

There is a lot of competition. I would renew if there isn't anything more exceptional that would justify the re-coding and implementation load costs

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.

It would take several weeks to hear back from the billing team. It took 3 months to resolve an invoice last year. Their technical support is very responsive. I would typically get a response in under 24 hrs.

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.

We have not used other products but are going to start exploring making a switch to a new platform.

Incentivized

• It collects data of great importance which allows to make product improvements.
• It easily identifies problems a user may have with the product.
• The flow of users who have used the product has improved, thus being able to generate more income thanks to the improvements and new functions.

Incentivized

• Was our first provider of user-level event data
• Allows for many users to easily answer their own questions before making requests of the data team
• Raw data dumps gave the data team the ability to provide more in-depth analyses.
