  • Automates away the annoying parts of user analytics
  • Can define which pages people were on, what element they clicked on, the color of the button, the target text on the click, the actions users took before and after clicking, the users’ titles, what other actions users who click that button tend to take
  • Make some deeper and more specific tutorials for the tool
  • Heap does not work for native mobile apps because it doesn’t offer a way to define custom events

  • automatically gather data on behaviour of your users.
  • setup without needing people from engineering.
  • useful dashboards generation.
  • could be a little rough to get the hang of without some computer science background some times.
  • a lot of configuration is good, but also overwhelming, perhaps it can be put away in some advanced setting or so, just thinking out loud

  • Tracks provider behavior in the EMR
  • Tracks results of AB tests
  • User behavior in onboarding funnels
  • How to structure events in funnels - there should be an option to add an OR in the last part of the funnel - i.e. people who subscribed to PLAN X or PLAN Y
  • The customer support is okay - but had hiccups during setup
  • Comparison paths - if we want to have two funnels but follow people who clicked "Yes" to a chart vs those who clicked "No" (there is the compare users option) but we cannot have two separate funnels side by side which would be ideal
