For me, Heap is much simpler to utilize. I've previously used Google and Adobe Analytics but switched to Heap because it provide better features and is easy to integrate. Without a specialist's assistance, I am able to construct dashboards and am convinced that they are useable …

Both have more or less the same strong and weak points.

The ability to view events in real time as they occur, restrict them to just show mine, and then create dashboards using those events is the finest feature for me. It eliminates the requirement for constant 100% accuracy in documentation maintenance and guessing. I can monitor …

It seemed Heap was better for our company as it seems it lets us zoom in more on the information we want.

Great reviews and market credibility, with minimal similar products at the same price point.
Chose Heap
Heap was the clear winner in our comparison as it had a clear interface which allows for easy graph and table making. The best part of Heap is that it saves each and every action performed on all of our webpages. Even if a certain event is not defined, it can still be created …

Heap blows away the competition in this space in my opinion. Amplitude was the closest competitor but did not have the ease of instrumentation that Heap offers out of the box. Google Analytics has gotten worse year after year and was borderline worthless for our business, as …

Scenarios when Heap was well suited: It is when a user claims that he encountered a bug without giving us the details of the error message. Scenarios where it is less appropriate: Its when we try to capture user interaction in our mobile app

Cons
Heap
  • I think Heap can improve its onboarding; I would love to see some info that is helpful for someone who isn't in Heap every single day.
  • Sharing dashboards can be tricky, it feels like a huge learning curve that I already have forgotten how to do.

It's a great platform. I'm glad that one of our product managers introduced it because it has allowed us to create all kinds of new functionality. We're not only able to create a better product experience from our communications because of Heap, but we're also able to generate all kinds of helpful analysis.

On a scale from 1-10, I find Heap to be incredibly user-friendly and easy to use. I enjoyed the training videos available and was quickly able to pick up how to create events and reports to track user interactions on our product. I would recommend Heap for its usability first and foremost.

Performance
Heap
Heap doesn't affect page load times considerably nor has a large impact [on] our overall score, as far as page loading times inside of the tool its pretty reliable to retrieve data as much as "instant" that it can be the delay seems to be on data getting tracked into the servers to be read but it's not significant.

Support Rating
Heap
Heap support has allowed us to troubleshoot and test a lot of different items. Their support team is always helpful and friendly, even when we come to them with the most complicated questions. I think this greatly improves the value proposition of the product because their support team is knowledgable and friendly.

Implementation Rating
Heap
The implementation was smooth and easy. The Heap team helped us with implementation and it went great! Within a few weeks, we were fully up and running and utilizing the platform to its full capability. This is an additional thing that has made this platform so great and we couldn't recommend it enough.

Scalability
Heap
The most challenging part of using Heap in a growing organization is the naming and structure in which reports and dashboards are organized. I work within the marketing department and our Heap leader internally works within the IT/Product department, which makes it challenging because we often don't speak the same language, so the learning curve has been steep without any specific use-case examples to leverage online.
