Overall Satisfaction with Heap

I use Heap to perform web analytics and define the product roadmap at a small, direct-to-consumer start-up that is built on a Shopify store. We are mainly focused on the acquisition, so I am mainly asking product questions around how our website helps and/or deters sales and how we can fix those features that are not useful with ones that are valuable to our customers. Since our category (baby gear) is a high-consideration, high-intent product category, we know our customers engage with many brands (and many times with each brand!), so Heap's unique ability to track the same user over time is a huge value add for us.
  • Track a user over time.
  • Highlight differences between desktop and mobile behavior.
  • Identify the most common path from point A to point B.
  • Multi-touch attribution modeling.
  • Identifying the referrer for a particular user or session.
  • Registering the full impact of paid ads.
  • Increased conversion rate.
  • Increased revenue growth.
Heap is much better at tracking a single user's entire customer journey than GA. It is also much, much more user-friendly--whereas I was struggling to learn how to use GA, it was quite simple for me to learn Heap.

Do you think Heap delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Heap's feature set?

Yes

Did Heap live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Heap go as expected?

No

Would you buy Heap again?

Yes

I think Heap is a remarkably useful tool for web analytics. It's especially great for testing feature adoption, testing two different features, and learning what the impact of various touchpoints are on your customer's journey. I think it is less well suited for tracking the efficacy of various marketing campaigns.
