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.

Mixpanel is a versatile platform that integrates features to connect every work team and get the best out of them in productivity and results. Moreover, it will improve the flow of information and interaction between all your company staff; it will unify and help promote collaboration between the different work areas. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this software.

Mixpanel is customizable for specific data collection; It allows us to collect a large number of events and knowledge that cooperate and improve products and services by responding to each action of our customers. Mixpanel is great for creating sales funnels, finding new trends, and tracking our events. Mixpanel provides reliable data and information analysis in a comprehensive way to measure the activities of the participants with the information offered. Mixpanel interacts with mobile and online applications, allowing us to retain users, produce better software by understanding our users' input, and leveraging that data to deliver an enjoyable experience.

Mix panel is well suited in the following use cases: User Specific event management and data collection. Custom user engagement report generation. Geolocation-based search reports. Front-end scenarios debugging based on users' activity. Mixpanel is less suited for those applications that have a minimal amount of user interactions like those apps which show static content.

Mixpanel is a great option for setting up product-oriented analytics in a startup. It has all the best practices and tools you may need to start your business and product development cycle focusing on the customer and product, using real-time data. If you need extensive and complex reports, Mixpanel has you covered. It provides a well-rounded set of reports and analytic tools to make decisions.

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.

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 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.

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.

Mixpanel makes sense for a business if the company will offer proper training for employees who will be using it. The learning curve is super high, and it’s not easy to teach yourself how to use the platform.

It’s not suited for a company that has little support and training for employees, nor is it suited for a company without a big tech team because it needs constant support and help to get things working.

Mixpanel is perfect for analytics reports where event and user data for a platform are important. For bootstrapping or economical companies looking for a reliable but free platform, Mixpanel should be the best option as they cover a lot of analytical ground. This is also perfect for SaaS companies, both small and big.

If you have dedicated technical support who can help you set up Mixpanel and ensure you have events in there that are set up correctly, then you can use Mixpanel to give you an intimate look into the performance of your marketing activity right through to customer conversion. Super valuable for any Marketing Team.

Lots of data and lots of money? Mixpanel is there. They are experts at enterprise deployment and had a very smooth process that helped us realize what data we should track and gave engineering the tools needed to deploy. Very smooth.

Mixpanel excels when the data going into it is properly tagged and with the right attributes. This means that companies need to be very deliberate with how they plan their development. Metrics need to be baked into the dev flow so that each page is properly instrumented. Furthermore, events need to be properly organized as it's easy to lose track of events and when they came online. If you don't put in the work beforehand, Mixpanel just won't be as useful.

Mixpanel is very useful for products that have straightforward user pathing and features that are geared toward repeat use. It is less useful in scenarios where your user journeys are more complex and don’t necessarily follow a linear pattern.

Mixpanel is a great tool to track your website or app analytics if you are interested in measuring events and then using those events to measure funnels, retention and more. It's also great for sending push notification campaigns to your app users.

Mixpanel is great once it's fully set up -- it'll give you insight on how your product / features are performing. Understanding what is most used and what is not as popular is important. It'll give you / your team more of a product direction. It'll definitely take a lot of work (e.g. tagging) before you can get the most out of Mixpanel though.

Mixpanel is great for organizations that want to track how their application is being used. Tracking attributes related to geo-location, user-segmentations - like departments and titles, browser and operating systems, etc. can be very easy. Various groups in an organization have the ability to access the data collected and build reports that fit their specific needs. The UI is very intuitive and quick to pick up.

Well suited for companies that want to analyze their mobile apps users, as Mixpanel's mobile analytics feature is pretty good. Also, well suited for small and medium organizations. Not sure if the tool is well suited for enterprises as the software sometimes operates slowly even when we do not process a large amount of data.

It is well suited when a company wants to collect and analyze as much information about their online users as possible. Great for marketing teams and product marketing teams because it gives valuable information about customers' reaction to website, mobile app or product changes. Not sure about scenarios when it is not well suited. I think as an example, I would use other tools for SEO improvement.

Mixpanel is a pretty powerful tool and it is well suited for organization that wants to track their users' behavior, but as I said, the data in reports could be sometimes inaccurate, so it is better sometimes to check the accuracy of the data with other analytic tools. It is also well suited for A/B testing.

Considering the pricing I think Mixpanel is well suited for small companies with not many users or for marketing agencies that have small companies as clients. Also, the tool is well suited for e-commerce platforms. Not sure if the platform is good enough for enterprise size companies as I heard that Mixpanel does not do a very good job with big data processing.

Mixpanel is well suited for the scenarios when you are trying to understand your users, especially mobile users. I'd say that Mixpanel has much better mobile analytics than Google Analytics does. I would not recommend Mixpanel for companies that do not have a particular person who would be dedicated to the tool, as it takes a lot of time to get useful insights from web and mobile analytic tools, such as Mixpanel.

We are a small business and Mixpanel works great for us. It is well suited to analyze not a very large amount of data. Mixpanel is also well suited to monitor website visitors and do the segmentation based on particular events.
As reports are not very visual and clean I would say that the tool is not very well suited for companies with a lot of data.
