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.
  • Track events
  • 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
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.

The Mixpanel platform is mostly used by our marketing department, but some specialists and managers from other departments, such as security specialists and data analysis specialists also use Mixpanel for different purposes. Mixpanel helps us to understand users, channels, locations, and devices from which the users visiting our website and mobile app.
  • Mixpanel allows us to see very detailed information about web and mobile users, such as location, devices, channels and many more
  • Mobile analytics is very good, accurate and detailed.
  • Real-time insights about users are very helpful.
  • UI is not user-friendly.
  • The security of the platform could use some work.
  • Sometimes works slower than usual.
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.

Our marketing department uses Mixpanel on a daily basis. The platform allows us to track all activity that is happening on our website. It is especially helpful for funnel tracking, as we can see on what stage of their sign up process the particular group of users are and adjust our user acquisition strategy.
  • Allows to track all activity that is happening on our website.
  • Funnel tracking is very good, it shows on what stage of their sign up process a particular group of users are.
  • A/B testing is also good, I'd say it's even better than in Google Analytics.
  • Reports are not visual enough and sometimes there is some missing or incorrect data.
  • Mixpanel does not provide a phone support, just email.
  • User Interface looks nice, but it is not very user friendly and it is sometimes hard to find what you need on the page.
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.

Mixpanel is being used by marketing team in our company. The tool helps to analyze our websites and mobile apps and see how our users behave when using the website or the mobile app. Also, Mixpanel is great for A/B testing and our team uses the tool for this purpose.
  • Mobile App Analysis is great - we started using the Mixpanel when found out that it provides very detailed mobile app users' analysis.
  • Good for startups - Mixpanel offers pretty good free plan, which is very useful for startups.
  • A/B testing capabilities are good and the feature is very easy to use.
  • Their API is not very scalable.
  • Reports could be more visual and have more graphics.
  • Sometimes the software is very slow.
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.

At my last company, we used it across both Marketing and Tech/Product teams. Marketing used it to send push notifications, analyze real-time data for marketing campaigns and understand funnel conversion of our app. Product/Tech teams used it to measure a/b tests.
  • Real-time analytics
  • A/B testing
  • User Interface (it's logical and easy to understand)
  • Push notifications sometimes had delays/errors and this meant us sending out erroneous messages to users.
  • In-app push notifications weren't refined well (there was no expiry date on them so remained active even when no longer relevant)
  • CS response was slow
I would use Mixpanel as an analytics tool and is useful to monitor users and segment them based on specific events. However, I think it is difficult to have a good real-time analytics tool that is also especially strong on CRM. I would prefer them to focus on one side of the product and perfect it. However, it is a very good middle-ground solution whilst still growing.

We at CutShort use Mixpanel across the organization. It helps us to understand:
  • Our users' profile and their activities on our platform.
  • Funnel creation helps us to understand where we are losing our users.
  • Track users' activities
  • Create funnels
  • User Segmentation
  • Mixpanel doesn't do a user search when I write a full name of a user, it takes only the first name hence making things difficult and complicated.
  • I cannot compare traffic sources between multiple date ranges, e.g. compare traffic sources for Nov 2018 vs Dec 2018.
  • Error showing mechanism is very bad. User is typing at the bottom and error is shown at the top so a user doesn't even know why things are not moving forward.
  • It's very slow.
  • Mixpanel is well suited if you exactly want to track what a user is doing in every step and to track their dropoffs/conversions. I can easily add events in mixpanel and create multiple funnels to track user conversions.
  • It is not well suited if you want to track campaign/source/medium/content all in one go. At a time you can choose any one of the parameters to view the data.

We use Mixpanel data across the entire organization, although the primary users are the product management team and our CEO. Making data-based decisions is a core concept of the company, so every data point is of vital importance to the company. We use Mixpanel to determine if and when users are engaging with our products, as well as optimizing conversion funnels and seeing essential drop-off points.
  • Tracking all events that happen on your website on a personal level. The closest analogy that people tend to make is with Google Analytics, but while GA lets you see how users behave in aggregate, Mixpanel lets you track how individuals behave.
  • Easy funnel and A/B testing tracking - again, much easier than with Google. Must faster to integrate new events and change tracking funnels.
  • Segmentation - it's easy to segment out and see how subsegments of users behave (e.g. users which came from our website from a specific traffic source).
  • Mixpanel has issues differentiating between 'real' and 'spam' clicks sometimes, registering bot behavior as if it were the behavior of real users.
  • You can't clone funnels to make minor changes.
  • It's not easy to compare two different funnels to one another.
  • It's sometimes slow and unpredictable.
  • There are occasional bugs where the date ranges selected show one thing, but the data you're looking at is for a different date range.
  • Mixpanel is the best thing I've found for tracking A/B testing - but even then, there are issues. For instance it's very hard to compare the performance of A funnel vs. B funnel side by side - you essentially have to either look at them one at a time, or export all data and analyze it in Excel.
  • Mixpanel is NOT very good at letting you track percentage changes in behavior over time. I can easily see that we had 1000 loads and 100 conversions this week, but the segmentation tool doesn't make it easy to see that 10% of our users converted this week and 15% converted next week.
