Localytics vs. Waterfall

It is a great product for a smaller team to integrate into their app to start getting some in-depth analytics. The web interface is a great analytics tool without the need for writing SQL. Lack of Unity support makes it a lesser choice for mobile gaming. Like many third-party products, once data needs become substantial, the business will likely outgrow Localytics and will move towards an in-house solution.

From our experience, it seems to be a very effective tool reaching out to the younger population for educational purposes. However, it seems to get a better reply rate with the older population.

• 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

• Customer service. You have your own point of contact. They are very supportive and helpful. They always respond quickly.
• Their deep non-profit discount.
• Their message schedules. Very flexible and it can be a relative schedule to say a pregnant woman's due date and someone's goal date for quit smoking, etc.

• 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.

• Some features require additional cost. The nature of growth means the product becomes more expensive and that is a problem for some buyers.

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

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.

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

Revere SMS. Another enterprise level SMS provider in the non-profit space, but their inability to schedule welcome series and other deficiencies make them a lesser product.

• We have seen an increase in usage by sending targeted push notifications.
• For our purposes we don't need as many features as they offer.
• We have an overall negative ROI from Localytics.

Incentivized

• We have worked with several clients to help them launch and grow their SMS program and the platform helps us doing cutting edge work in this space.
