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.

Self-service access has reduced support tickets and improves secure remote management
The best feature I appreciate about Jamf for Mac is the self-service portal. The self-service portal is a collection of administrative tasks that a user can complete when they want or how they want, which helps me and my users. It does not require an IT or security person to intervene every time, and it functions as a just-in-time activation of a particular rule. For example, if a user needs admin privileges for thirty minutes to install a program, the self-service portal can accomplish that easily, so an IT person does not have to be present every time software installation is needed. The remote wipe and remote lock features are also very good, as they secure the endpoint quite well. The integration with Apple Business Manager is seamless and works very well. Jamf for Mac has positively impacted my organization by making the installation and management of my user base and endpoints quite easy and effective. Jamf for Mac has saved me time, improved security, and reduced the number of support tickets. It has made my life easier by managing Mac endpoints on a remote basis, significantly reducing my support tickets, and increasing my visibility from a security perspective. I can obtain audit logs from Jamf to track user activities. The Jamf dashboard gives me a complete overview and inventory of whatever services are running or whatever applications are installed on an endpoint, which makes my life significantly easier.

Pros

"Having accessible data which can be easily customized and manipulated by even business stakeholders with less technical knowledge is one of the best things."
"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 is a perfect product that will always fulfill all the data-related needs that your company has, and I would suggest anyone to go for it."
"Amplitude impacts my organization positively as it serves as a central point that allows everyone within the organization to speak the same language of data."
"Amplitude has impacted my organization positively in a huge way, as everyone uses it to gain insights into user behavior before implementing new features, which leads to massive positive change, data-driven development, lots of learning, and encouragement to use Amplitude in daily work for everyone in the company, not just analysts."
"We can create charts and bar charts for visualization purposes and check real-time data with the solution."
"Amplitude has positively impacted my organization as it allows us to make decisions based on data and iterate faster."
"Other areas like cohort analysis, defining key events, and user properties were also well-suited for Amplitude. It is an easy tool to use."
"Jamf for Mac has positively impacted my organization by making the installation and management of my user base and endpoints quite easy and effective."
"Jamf for Mac has two features recently added: compliance and blueprint."
 

Cons

"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"Amplitude is almost perfect, but there are some charts I cannot create due to the large data structure."
"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."
"I choose nine because, lately, when I was using it, the more people wanted to improve, the more complex things got—not in a good way, but confusing."
"The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced."
"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."
"The free features in Amplitude Analytics need enhancement."
"I give it a nine because it is close to a perfect ten for me, but it is only useful in one layer of the project, not the other, which the tool is supposed to do."
"The integration with identity federation portals or IAM tools such as Okta can be improved."
"Another big issue for us is that when I have updated macOS from the software update, I cannot see the progress of how many systems are going to install for macOS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a little on the higher end, especially when considering scalability."
