Overall Satisfaction with Heap
We use Heap for a wide variety of business problems and use cases across the entirety of our product offering. It is becoming our primary user tracking system as it gets instrumented and integrated across our site while replacing an existing user tracking system that was subpar to Heap's product offering. Everything from customer acquisition, retention, checkout, and key conversion points is being measured in Heap. The properties make it easy to understand the factors that affect behavior and how different cohorts of users perform across various conversion points and funnels.
- Easy implementation
- Wide variety of report options
- Properties and how they integrate into reporting
- Scoping options (sessions who did x as opposed to just users who did x)
- More types of averages besides just mean
- Fast report load times for companies with high-volume data
- More creative options when building dashboards
Heap blows away the competition in this space in my opinion. Amplitude was the closest competitor but did not have the ease of instrumentation that Heap offers out of the box. Google Analytics has gotten worse year after year and was borderline worthless for our business, as tracking the equivalent of Heap properties was not straightforward or easy to do, and pulling any detailed report beyond just a couple weeks of data caused heavy data sampling to occur due to our high volume, making most reports useless without dumping it into a database and querying against it which made self-service all but impossible for non-analysts.
