Empowers teams to build visualization-rich reports and make faster decisions using historical user behavior data
I think areas for Amplitude's improvement include data retention. The maximum data I have worked with, the clickstream data on Amplitude, is two years, whereas we rely on Tableau for historical data of at least two years. I am not sure whether it was my organization paying for lower retention or not, but having historical data would take away the reliance on Tableau. Secondly, reconciling clickstream data with Databricks or other AWS systems could help analysts spend less time verifying the accuracy of both sources, which would be really helpful. Lastly, a more focused approach on error logs is necessary. I have found that, at least with Intuit, we used Splunk more for error logs than Amplitude. Although Amplitude had the capability, developers seemed to prefer Splunk, so if that could be improved, it would be good.

Session insights have transformed how we detect user errors and prioritize fixes across regions
Glassbox now has GIA as an AI integration that provides analysis very quickly without needing to watch the entire session. Based on previous results, the analysis is accurate 90 to 95 percent of the time regarding possible reasons why a user faced an issue. Based on that analysis, we can make a report and get things done to prevent errors. The best features that Glassbox offers are reporting and the funnel. These two use cases help us most as we can determine the expected count for user behavior and compare it to earlier weeks and days from the same period. In the report section, we can identify specific alerts that are being triggered on a regular basis so we can capture and analyze them and fix them in the longer term. The funnel feature helps us check user impact and identify which countries or specific areas the website is failing in. With this feature, if a customer is facing a cart page error, we can check how many users were impacted at that specific time and which regions those users are experiencing errors. We can also check what products those customers are trying to add. Based on that information, we can create a report and check comparisons. When we share it with the business team, they can determine if the issue is widespread and work on it with higher priority, or if it has lower impact with fewer users affected, indicating an intermittent error that can be worked on with lower priority. Glassbox has had a positive impact on my organization through all the features it provides. As AI is advancing and its adaptability within the app itself integrates many use cases, the reports, funnels, dashboards, GIA features, and integrations that Glassbox provides help us address issue behavior and work on resolutions. Additionally, it creates reports that we can share with other teams so they can determine if the impact is wider. To prevent errors quickly, Glassbox captures reproducible customer errors. If an error is not reproducible, Glassbox does not capture it and can mark it as a false alert. This is how we prevent false alerts and capture only genuine alerts.

"Amplitude has provided almost instant value to our dev team when they are deploying new trackable events and seeing how those events line up before they go out to production."
"Amplitude has provided a return on investment, helping us improve campaign targeting and raising personalization accuracy by almost twenty-five percent, while saving us a lot of time since I can see the analysis as quickly as possible in the dashboard, resulting in significant time and money saved."
"Amplitude offers flexibility in real-time data analysis, allowing users to make immediate decisions."

Cons

"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"Amplitude could be improved by being cheaper."
"We attempted to use their screen recording and session recording capabilities as a replacement for a previous vendor, and we found that the functionality they offered did not stack up to the previous vendor."

"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"The free features in Amplitude Analytics need enhancement."
"The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced."

"There are sometimes issues with Glassbox itself where some alerts do not get captured or the GIA integration does not show correct results, but it is being learned and improving."
"Glassbox can be improved because it is somewhat complex and there is a steep learning curve that requires training."
"Glassbox can be improved in various ways. I think performance and lag are areas needing improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
