Amplitude is very scalable, considering that we do not have to do any manual work ourselves.

Sentiment score
6.0
Sendbird is largely stable with minor issues like URL thumbnails and read receipts, earning user ratings of 7-8/10.
I did not notice any delays or issues with Amplitude's performance and speed when handling large datasets.

Sendbird works well overall, the stability is sometimes affected by chat lists being randomly ordered rather than in chronological order.

Room For Improvement

Users desire improved report setup, visualization, query building, tagging, data retention, support, and feature discovery for enhanced analytics.
Sendbird faces challenges with SDK delay, high costs, integration issues, and support, needing feature enhancements and better documentation.
Support could be improved. Sometimes I need to create a ticket and communicate with one of their advisors via email.
Data Science Engineer at BebopBee, Inc.
Longer form time series analysis seems nearly impossible to do on this platform.
Data Analyst & Data Protection Officer at WeSalute
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.
Senior Business Analyst at Arcteryx
The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information.
Junior Software Developer at Weavers Web Solutions Private Limited
 

Setup Cost

Amplitude's high pricing and complex billing for larger data volumes cause challenges and lengthy negotiations for users.
Enterprise users find Sendbird expensive, with high starting prices and costly customization, affecting switching and trial decisions.
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
The subscription cost is quite high, which prevents us from subscribing before the project completion and user testing.

Valuable Features

Amplitude excels in segmentation, cohort analysis, and integration, enhancing data-driven decision-making and user experience optimization.
Sendbird provides scalable, real-time chat features with intuitive API management, supporting large groups and including statuses and reactions.
Based on Amplitude charts and outcomes, our product team takes decisions, so it has improved decision-making.
Data Science Engineer at BebopBee, Inc.
Amplitude has positively impacted my organization as it allows us to make decisions based on data and iterate faster.
CEO at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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
Features similar to WhatsApp, such as online and offline statuses, message reactions, and replies, add significant value.

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.
