Used for reporting and monitoring purposes and to check the business KPIs
We take real-time decisions based on the solution's charts. We get an automated email from the solution in our mailbox so that we can particularly only check those error reports into Amplitude. If an end user gets an error while trying to do a transaction, we get alerts from the solution. I would recommend the solution to other users. Amplitude is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly tool. It allows us to create charts, demonstrate data, and view it effectively. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Provides valuable insight into user behavior and integrates well with G Suite
The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data. Since the tool is free, I believe Google is optimizing costs by sampling data and providing us with a fairly accurate view of our site analytics. The mobile aspect of Google Analytics is quite complex to integrate using their SDKs. The web is much easier to integrate with a simple script to add in the header. I would love to see an auto event capture mechanism, like Mixpanel or Heap, so that the setting up of the analytics becomes easier.
