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 The ease of implementation combined with the managed services result in a tool that virtually anyone can use - implementation is less than 10 lines of code added to the relevant pages of the website (we simply added it to our master page template to have it available on any page) and from there the customer can be as involved or not involved as they wish. At BSI we are very hands on with the testing programme - usually developing and designing the tests ourselves and having HP build them, but if we wanted to HP to develop, design and build and limit our role to QA and review that is an option.
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 Because it is a managed service the need for intervention by our internal IT group was removed. This allowed us to control the pace of the testing programme without being influenced by IT resource allocation The client and technical account managers are very good at suggesting tests or potential improvements HP regularly holds custom forums which are always informative and provide an opportunity to learn from and network with peers and industry leaders 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 The dashboard interface is difficult to navigate, but I understand that they are currently developing/testing a new much more user friendly interface The cost can be a barrier for some organisations, but for us it is worth it. Also they are in the process of releasing a less expensive self authoring testing tool. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We have not only renewed our subscription three years running, but we have added the self authoring tool and are looking to expand the subscription so that we can take advantage of the managed services on a global level.
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 We evaluated Optimost again Adobe's similar offering (Target). The big difference between the two and the reason why BSI choose Autonomy was the managed service aspect. The idea that once the code was deployed on the site IT no longer had to be involved gave my team full ownership of the testing programme. With the Adobe product, the involvement of the internal IT group would have been required to launch each test - and this would have decreased the number of tests we could run each month. Back in the day I also used offermatica/omniture and this too required IT involvement.
