Mixpanel vs. Origami Studio

As a worker in the sales area, I see closely how complex it can be to evaluate the commercial funnel and Mixpanel has been an indispensable guide to prioritize above all what customers expect to receive from our company, and thus be able to determine the main service we offer. Without a doubt, Mixpanel has special functions to be the one that guides the route and marks the objectives much more clearly.

I love Origami and have always recommended the software to other designers. I use Origami on a daily basis, especially when working on new packaging designs. It's nice to see how a box/package looks live while working on moving elements around in the artwork along with making sure dielines work properly and there won't be much work needed on the vendor's end to adjust dielines.

• Mixpanel is a daily use application for everyone in my organization; it helps us have a better flow of information and interaction between work teams.
• The user interface of this platform is simple and has a wide variety of functions and resources to help us work in the most organized way, have better team coordination, and keep efficiency high.
• I love that it is so easy to program our calendar to our liking, so we can prioritize our activities and know what is pending, and the best thing is that I can update the calendar if necessary.
• The chat function is great to improve the interaction between colleagues and share work schedules and any information with third parties.

• Proper view of closed or open box
• Control of adding degree of angle for flaps to see how a box looks open or closed
• High resolution exports from Origami to other softwares
• Love the new capability of being able to add multiple boxes for a group render/image

• Mixpanel requires an explicit setting of events from your app. This means you need to be very thoughtful in the design of your events because missing one means you aren't collecting any data from it. Inserting it into the process later on then brings challenges in tracking when certain events came online.
• A tool like Mixpanel comes packed with features that sometimes are harder to discover. It's very easy to get sucked into one part of its toolset and not be aware of other tools which may be very useful.

• It can be glitchy at times
• Challenging dielines can sometimes be difficult to render in Origami unless you trick it
• Large files with a lot of elements can slow down the software

It's not an all encompassing solution like Google Analytics tries to be, but MixPanel offers much easier to use and understandable data insights. That's valuable when juggling many responsibilities as startup life demands, so a renewal would be easily justified.

Relativity easy to use. Once you get the hang of it, very easy to create dashboards for different use cases. I split my dashboards between customers or use cases

We have only ever had to use their support once, when we were setting up the account, but their responses were prompt and the solutions were well documented. The people who solved our issues were helpful, even to non-tech people.

Mixpanel has a great resource about their product, with videos on how to use it and real world examples from other companies on how they integrate Mixpanel into their business processes.

Again, somewhat annoying to be charged based on data points when many other analytics providers have one flat fee. Implementation was good, but I might have tracked a few more detailed points if I had the option.

• There was not really any other competitors for this specific use case that had a chance
• We used Google Analytics for some things but obviously, GA is anonymous data so not useful for product teams with users
• Other solutions out there seemed to be too expensive and this was the most recommended
• Heap seemed to be the best OTHER option but didn't take the time to evaluate

Origami is a faster/easier way to view and render 3D views of packaging files--especially the instant gratification when adjusting artwork and or dielines before rendering out to other softwares. Other than Blender being free, this software is much easier to use for unexperienced users. Someone can learn Origami in matter of minutes--that's how easy it is.

• We've been able to increase the funnel conversions of one of our new product funnels from a 1% conversion rate to a 5% conversion rate.
• We've been able to increase the CTR on another of our main product pages from ~3% to ~10% (so far)
• We've been able to segment out how users from different traffic sources behave, allowing us to eliminate thousands of dollars of wasteful spending on advertising campaigns that weren't working.

• No negative impact
• Price is great
• Saved us time and money in dieline creation
• Saved us time on rendering out DAE files from origami to other softwares for rendering
