Amplitude Analytics vs. Roambi (discontinued)

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.

Getting Roambi up to speed in your company certainly is a quick win. After just a few days, several of our reports were mobilized, interactive and automatically updated. Building Roambi reports is not hard to do; the intuitive interface allows virtually any type of user to create his or her own reports.

• 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

• Report templates that are easy to learn, use, update and maintain.
• Great looking reports that stay up-to-date with what Apple is producing. When Apple rolled out the new look and feel to their iOS7 release, Roambi created a brand new set of reports within two weeks to go along with the iOS7 changes.
• Seamless integration with our existing BI environment, SAP Business Objects XI, 3.1. This drastically reduced the time from purchase to client-ready roll out from months to weeks.

• 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

• cardex type of presentation is already innovated in roambi in 2012, even iOS safari browser idea was created from this cardex style
• blink view is only available for sap and ms sql
• roambi publisher is very user-friendly and understandable for non technical person as well

I would definitely use Roambi again because of its ease-of-use, but its lack of customization ability makes it difficult to recommend to businesses as business needs are always changing. People are picky, and on the Roambi project, we were not able to fully live up to the customer's expectations, limited by Roambi's preset limitations.

VERY easy to use. Only limited by how the graphs and data is initially set up.

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'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 compared Roambi against Business Objects, Reporting Services (on tablet) and Cubeware Cockpit. All those solutions lack in support of touch capabilities and responsiveness. Roambi "feels" just right. There is no training required and users love to explore the application. Compared to Roambi all other solutions feel very technical and hard to understand.

• 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

• Increased insights on customer success metrics (using a Layers report).
• Higher motivation of employees, better communication towards employees, tighter bonds with the company - because of Roambi Flow. Periodic Flow magazines with analytic capabilities are sent out to the employees, as we value frequent and meaningful contact - both ways.
