Flurry Analytics (discontinued) vs. Liftoff

I would encourage a colleague to use Flurry Analytics. Incorporating Flurry Analytics in an app is a simple and straightforward task, and will take the average app developer less than 15 minutes to understand and apply. This amount of time is nothing in the grand scheme of the development of the app, and the return on time invested to incorporate it is great. New tracking features can be added at any time.

I think for mainstream ecommerce, the sites are super quick to spin up, easy to use, and fit the bill for most asks. The challenge can be when you need something more customized. I think they have the ability to basically do anything you need but they don't necessarily have the bandwidth to get it all done when you need it.

• Ease of Use
• Ability to spin up stores quickly

• There is no option to choose a timezone which will allow me to compare their data over other systems in other time zones.
• Could be nice to have more reporting screening options.

Incentivized

• Data Uploads could be easier
• Customer service is strong but they have been inundated lately which means responses are sometimes slow
• Custom deployments take a while again because they are so behind

Good user acquisition tracking
Sdk integration is super easy for both iOS and Android
Need it
Need to support more customized dashboards / reporting (example - set up a dashboard specifically to see users engaging with a new feature recently launched)

For my uses, Flurry is free which makes it way more attractive than the other platforms even on a very big number of monthly events. It also have set reports which are exactly the reports that a marketing person needs without any need of spending a developer time to create them for you, or holding an in-house BI person that works on creating reports.

They are very similar actually. What I like about Liftoff though is that we don't have to use 3rd party applications to do what we need which can add up super quickly. If we are in need of customer service, the staff is knowledgeable about everything since the functions are native functions.

• Tracking the number of times a user taps a help button can help to improve the app design. Perhaps the app is not as intuitive as first thought, and improvements based upon where in the help feature a user taps will lead to improvements in the app design to make it more intuitive.
• Tracking the number of times certain app features are used, or the amount of time spent within a given activity in the app can help to streamline an app - improve upon features that are used more frequently while eliminating less popular activities.
• Tracking time spent within an app can give an idea as to how popular the app is.

• Less double data entry thanks to the uploads
• Easier to use interface allows our staff to just work on the job rather than trying to figure out how to work on the job
• Allows us to scale more easily instead of relying on a one-person developer team
