We want to get analytics for how our users were using the webapp we built. Both in general (what browser, OS, country) as well as get insights into the usage of specific features - ones we're not so sure were being used, but we kept maintaining as well as new ones we just launched and wanted to see how they perform with real customers.
Pros
Per-user breakdown of usage.
Cohorts.
Cons
UI isn't very intuitive for a non experienced user.
Building dashboards and queries isn't as easy as I'd like it to be.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think Mixpanel is great for the use-case I tested it with - a BI app for business customers. If the users of Mixpanel within your organization don't mind a short-ish ramp-up period and defining searches and dashboard MixPanel is probably a safe bet. I think that it would be less useful for very big applications, with over 10K MAUs, since the UI, in general, seems to be more fine-tuned for cohort, or even user-specific queries.

I have been using Mixpanel at my organization for over 2 years. This product helps us manage cross-team dependencies and also helps us to understand our customers better. This comes in particularly handy during pandemic times in which our usage increased a lot. We were able to proceed with our works with little to no trouble and Mixpanel played a significant role in that.
Pros
Gives extremely detailed analytics
Good customer support
Modern design
Cons
Very steep learning curve
Sometimes lags on slow internet
High charge
Likelihood to Recommend
We as a team enjoy the additional features that it provides over the other competitors. It is highly suited for applications or products that require regular customer engagement and where it is necessary to determine which user type or location is the most engaged. It also aids in the management of other details such as the devices that the user uses most frequently and many others.

Mixpanel was used for app usage and to monitor user experience. One of the main channels was an app that was used to buy and control music in retail/entertainment places around the world, so the app was a privileged interface with our customers. Mixpanel was then used to monitor and analyze how the app was used, from the sign-up to the payment to the selection of the product. Mixpanel provides great analytics as long as you know how to make sure you can track all the different steps and journeys within the app from a customer POV.
Pros
Custom dashboard
Funnel analysis
Descriptive analysis
Cons
App version of the website
Tag and label, which could be misleading
User training
Likelihood to Recommend
Mixpanel is a great BI tool when you have hundreds, if not millions, of customer interactions through an app or a website with sign-on, log-in, purchase, basket, method of payment, etc. and you need to understand the funnel and customer journey. Also if you need to understand any areas of improvement or to monitor if something happens, Mixpanel makes it easy for you to follow customer interactions.

When I first started using Mixpanel, the customer support was quite good. I had a problem getting raw data and they helped me. However, a few months ago they made some changes and free plan customers do not get any support from Mixpanel, the only option is to post a question on the community page, which is never answered at all. So there is no way of solving any technical issues or doubts now. I was semi-happy before but I do not recommend Mixpanel at all now, I'll keep using it until I finish my current project but I'll look for an alternative for the next one.
Pros
Track events
Cons
Customer support, which is inexistent now
There are many technical issues when exporting raw data and querying is very limited
There are important details that are not documented so it is difficult to make sense of why some things behave as they do
It is not really for developers or people with development experience. There are many "visual" and GUI tools but the export API is very limited and badly documented
Likelihood to Recommend
Mixpanel is not suited for developers who really want to be able to exploit their data. The export API returns illogical results. For instance, the same query (filtering by a past, closed date range) may return different, partial results (like just half of the month for example, even if the bad-documented export limits are not met). The query language is badly documented as well, and many basic queries cannot be made, or there is no documented way to do so (and customer support will not help you at all). I guess it is suitable for those companies who just want to visualize retention using the default Mixpanel tools, but if you do want to get your raw data, it is not the best solution.
