Overall Satisfaction with Heap

As an implementation partner, I was tasked with product comparison and choose between various marketing analytics platform. We did a comparitive analysis between Heap and Google Analytics. The scope of my use case was

1. Reduce dependency on engineering team to generate perpetual dashboards.
2. Provide real time data insights for re-marketing and personalization.
3. Quick and continuous site(s) level implementation, based on data insights.
4. Side by side comparison of historical data
  • Realtime interactions which are captured automatically is a unique feature which no other product offers.
  • Low code implementation is a big plus for marketing teams, as there is less dependency on engineering
  • Detailed customer behaviours can be studied with captured replay sessions
  • Due to all the above points - it helped to improve customer experience
  • During our analysis, I could not find any such area of improvement as of now.
Heap had an edge over Google Analytics in many ways. Few points to consider Heap over GA.
1. Low code implementation and less involvement of engineering team.
2. Great reporting dashboard with additional feature of of showing user journey, that helps understand user behaviour
3. Heap helped customer improve and personlize different personas
4. Helped increased conversion.
5. The out of the box templates offerings are unmatched with any existing data insight tools like GA or Adobe Analytics

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Heap again?

Yes

Heap is well suited for
1. Capture customer journey with session replay
2. Identify customer behaviour and improve overall customer experience
3. Frequent and quick implementations and modifications
4. Comparative analysis for historical marketing insights
Heap is not so well suited, if the aim is to capture only analytics data without any goals to improve upon customer experience / targeting appropriate users based on data tracking.
