Something could be enhanced with Adobe Analytics regarding how granular the data is. The dashboards do not give a very complete overview of things. Heat maps is a feature which can be introduced to Adobe Analytics as it does not have it at the moment. This would be a very useful addition.

I didn't encounter many components that were annoying. One main area of frustration was finding data. When wanting to find data about clicks on a specific UI feature, element, or button, sometimes the objects were not named in a descriptive way. That was our problem on the implementation side, not Heap's. I also found that the analytics dashboards in Heap couldn't be customized as much as desired. I couldn't adjust the charts in the widgets or the settings on each widget to the level wanted in either data granularity or physical size of the widget on the dashboard page. Additional flexibility in dashboard building and widget building would be beneficial.

Pros

"There is definitely a return on investment in terms of how Adobe Analytics is bringing in new revenue, new customers, and tracking your campaign."
"An immensely useful feature is the retention graphs with the ability to generate retention data for individual features."
"Heap enables one to easily track how customers use one's applications on both the web and mobile."
"Heap has positively impacted my organization by giving our team visibility into how users interact with our application, allowing us to move from guessing to real-time information."
"Discerning application and UX weak points, driving better user retention."
"Heap enables one to easily track how customers use one's applications on both the web and mobile."
"You can track customer behavior with your project, such as how the customer envisions, navigates, uses CPA, and every touch point on the website. You can plan to optimize the phases and the customer behavior of the journey."
"The initial setup process was straightforward."

Cons

"Something could be enhanced with Adobe Analytics regarding how granular the data is. The dashboards do not give a very complete overview of things."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has a problem because when you are collecting more and more data, it becomes more and more expensive, and the ten thousand free sessions can be burned really fast, after which it became expensive."
"Based on my experience, there's some room for improvement. The application is a bit slow. Also, I must read through old documentation when I need to check for new features. It's not very user-friendly. Once you're in the application, it's easy because it has many features. But for first-time users, you have to go through all the documents, which can be challenging."
"Their analytics could be more user-friendly."
"I would rate Heap's scalability around 6 out of 10 because we are still not completely familiar with it."
"Their analytics could be more user-friendly."
"It's more expensive."
"The product could benefit from more advanced UI features."
"I also found that the analytics dashboards in Heap couldn't be customized as much as desired."
