Learn More About Product Analytics Software
What is Product Analytics Software?
Product analytics software is used to measure and report how people interact with web and software applications, or other products. Use cases include product training and onboarding, customer feedback collection, and learning to understand customer retention and churn to guide product development.
Product analytics software’s monitoring capabilities are greater than heatmap and session recording tools. While they can collect clicks and views and generate reports from these, leading product tools also capture customer sentiment and produce more detailed customer journey information, as well as customer and behavioral segmentation.
