Offers depth of analytics and powerful visualization capabilities
Amplitude played a crucial role in improving product decisions for our onboarding project. By analyzing user behavior, we identified key points where customers were dropping off in the activation process. This allowed us to tailor the onboarding experience, making it more personalized and engaging, resulting in higher activation rates and improved customer retention. Integrating Amplitude with other tools in our stack improved our analytics capabilities. I didn't encounter any issues with its compatibility or functionality alongside other tools. I would recommend Amplitude to others because of its depth of analytics and powerful visualization capabilities. Overall, I would rate it as an eight 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.
