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.

The main areas for improvement are AI features and scalability.
Director Axtria - Ingenious Insights! at Axtria - Ingenious Insights

Pricing is often egregiously high, and the company has changed billing models on us once already.
Data Analyst & Data Protection Officer at WeSalute
We are using a free version and would upgrade to a paid version if it were cheaper.
CEO at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Amplitude's pricing is good and not overpriced; it is fair for the amount of data we are extracting and the analysis we perform.
Senior data engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud offers discounts and special deals, especially when dealing with high-volume clients or fewer existing clients in specific regions, like Spain.

Collaboration was a significant part. What improves collaboration is the self-serve functionality, which was a big deal for PMs to have access to just that data and also the base layer of how that data is structured, which connects to clicks that every report refers to.
Senior Business Analyst at Arcteryx
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity.

Saurav Bhattacharjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Business Analyst at Arcteryx
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.

Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.
