In our sales sector we use Mixpanel to carry out a more efficient and exhaustive follow-up of all our clients, how they are perceiving our product, and the actions they take regarding the service we offer. As a sales department, we need to prepare quite specific reports on a weekly basis to correct errors and create advance strategies. Mixpanel helps us with this. It helps us explore and delve into deeper characteristics that we are not seeing, evaluate the retention of our clients from our behavior as a company, and the impact that the product we offer has on their lives. It allows us to control, monitor, and analyze in detail each step that our clients take and their user experience, in order to evaluate our commercial funnel, which helps us to categorize and perfect them in a better way. With this, we obtain better results in our sales and in the image of our company in general.
  • Excellent reports with diagrams, panels, and graphs that elaborate an exhaustive analysis of our commercial funnel, which allows us to segment potential clients and accurately evaluate the behavior and actions that our clients take.
  • Personalization, it is always important to be able to adapt the work area where we work for greater comfort and development, Mixpanel helps us to adapt the board and workspace which makes everything much more comfortable.
  • The participation of customers and their opinion is essential for us. It provides us with tools that help us segment customers, prioritize their recommendations, prioritize their tastes and stores all that vital information for our work performance.
  • The interface is extensive and with wonderful features and tools; however, it can become overwhelming with so many options and a bit complicated to use each one of them.
  • I would like it to be a little more accessible, the costs are somewhat high. Although we still pay for it because it is representative of our work, it would be great to have slightly cheaper access.
  • With how complicated it can be to use and manage the interface correctly, we would like to be able to find more support material with which we can speed up learning and perfect our use of the tool.
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.

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.
  • Gives extremely detailed analytics
  • Good customer support
  • Modern design
  • Very steep learning curve
  • Sometimes lags on slow internet
  • High charge
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 used by the entire organization. We work for an app startup and that’s the primary way that we track how users are using and engaging with our app. It’s also the main way to track how we’re acquiring new users--which ad campaigns they’re coming in through, etc.
  • It’s robust and you can create a lot of different reports with it.
  • It gives a lot of reporting options so you can visualize the data in different ways.
  • It gives a ton of engagement data on users. You can see their full history with the app.
  • Their support system is weak.
  • Sometimes it’s overwhelming how many different properties there are that it makes it hard to know if you’re using the correct attributes to run a report.
  • I don’t always trust the data in Mixpanel. There are discrepancies between its data and the data in our data warehouse.
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.

We are using it in our six-person startup team. I know several other startup products are using it, and some of our established products are also looking at it. My team uses it to understand how our users are using our system. We instrument all major features. We also use it to measure our activation process. We are not using it for messaging of any sort (there are modules to send in-app and email messages).
  • Great for behavioral analytics. It helps answer questions like: "how many unique users did X last week?" or "what percentage of users chose options A, B, or C for this process.
  • The "live" view is awesome for keeping an eye on certain things. For example - release a new feature? Set up a live view filter to watch your users engage with that new feature. You can sometimes notice problems very quickly this way.
  • Good visuals / graphs. Many options for choosing how you want to display or segment your data. Examples: linear, rolling log, etc. Can easily specify that you want Total, Avg, Unique or other counts.
  • Very good, detailed support. I've never been disappointed by a response.
  • The trigger based messaging system is sub-par and we don't use it. It may have improved in the last year, but we do all our messaging with Intercom and haven't looked back. The UI was clunky, and I recall that it was very difficult to create certain triggers. What you want is "when user does X+Y, but hasn't done Z, then send them a message". I recall that being very hard to set up and test.
  • You can't create segments or tagged groups of users which you then use in analytic reports. This may be possible using their new Cohorts feature, but that is only available with Enterprise. What I want to be able to do is define a user segment who has done XYZ as "XYZ Group" and then filter my analytic and behavior reports by those segments. Huge gap (that may be solved by the Enterprise version, but this is way beyond our means).
I think I covered this pretty well in my pros and cons. But Mixpanel is great for creating overall behavior analytics and understanding usage patterns. It is also very powerful and easy to do "exploratory" work to answer a question. Great for hypothesis testing. For example: "If we add feature X, will that result in increased usage/interaction frequency?"

Of course all of this depends on instrumenting your code well - you have to know what to track and how. There is a learning curve there initially, but once you get it, it is easy.

The entire company relied on data from Mixpanel to evaluate product feature adoption and to understand user flows. It was very useful to understand where users fell off during the onboarding phase and if users were successfully adopting new areas of the product. Many times people will assume high usage in areas of the product, but this made it very easy to argue the success of each feature release.
  • Easily integrates with Segment which makes setting up event/people tracking very easy if you're already using Segment with other tools.
  • Creating quick reports to share with your team is really easy and the visuals are nice looking. If you launch a new feature, you can quickly create a nice looking graph to share with your product team to let them know how things are going.
  • The Live feed of events on each People profile is really cool if you need to drill into a user flow. Also, if you're not using FullStory, this live view is a great way to help users with issues since you'll know the exact set of events related to their issue.
  • I didn't use the engagement features at all but it seems like they could have a better WYSIWYG editor for the emails for non-technical people using Mixpanel.
  • The custom reports feature seems to be really powerful but I wish they had more resources/templates for creating custom reports. I don't code so it was really hard for me to use this feature...BUT the reports I was able to get help with, were really powerful.
  • I wanted a dashboard area for all of my reports in one view. It seems like they were implementing this when I was moving jobs. If it's not available yet, they definitely need to add a master dashboard page for arranging saved reports.
  • It's great for product teams who want to better understand their users from a macro level
  • I would suggest using something like FullStory for understanding user flows instead of Mixpanel
  • Prepare to spend some time learning how it all works together and creating reports
  • Once you get reporting figured out, it's pretty easy to get value out of this
  • Make sure you confirm that your data is tracking properly (you can use the live view for this) before putting too much value on the reports

Mixpanel is used by the customer success and customer support teams as well as the upper management of the corporation. The customer success team is utilizing to track the usage and engagement of the existing clients. The customer support team is mainly using the product to retrieve specific actions performed by users, in order to replicate bugs or pinpoint the root cause of issues. Upper management is using to drive engagement of the product and make decisions on how to evolve it based on the current usage.
  • Handling thousands/millions of data points with ease, keeping track with historical usage data.
  • Segmentation of existing user base.
  • Funnels of module usage (very useful for free trial conversion of clients).
  • Has a steep learning curve. It is a bit daunting to use at first unless you have dived into tutorials and you know exactly what you are looking for.
  • JQL queries are very powerful and useful but lack documentation.
  • The predict module seems very useful but requires precision and the correct data set up to provide accurate predictions.
Mixpanel is very useful in terms of tracking the usage and engagement of the existing clients, as well as specific actions performed by users. Funnels can be great ways to see where a specific user path has stopped or is having issues, and signals (if set up correctly) can correlate various modules together either positively or negatively, which can be very useful for your product development. The only drawback is that it is a heavy product, which requires extensive setup and knowledge of what you are trying to accomplish and how.

  • Tracking of events through their Javascript.
  • Real-time dashboard of all the events that we wanted to track.
  • Determining funnels and pageviews (although it's implied through the events I track).
Would like to review mixpanel someday soon as they supposedly have improved their funnel analysis, among other things. As we scale our operations, we will look more closely at Mixpanel, and some other tools to figure out what is the best tool for us moving forward.
