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.
Andriana Sophos - PeerSpot reviewer
Financial Analyst at Honeywell
Centralized social monitoring has unified our branding and drives data-driven engagement decisions
The best features Sprout Social offers include the compose tool for social posts, reporting and analytics, and content management.What I appreciate most about the compose tool and the reporting and analytics features is that it helps to track engagements and other analytics and track social campaigns so that we are able to make data-driven decisions easily. I would add that social listening and explaining the spikes and the drops, a friendly user interface and easy to understand, great customer care integration, and statistics for organic social are also important features. Sprout Social has positively impacted my organization by saving time and increasing engagement. We have definitely streamlined our output and allowed us to access metrics, content performance, and engagement all within a few clicks, which improved our productivity in my organization by 20%.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"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."
"We can create charts and bar charts for visualization purposes and check real-time data with the solution."
"Amplitude offers flexibility in real-time data analysis, allowing users to make immediate decisions."
"I loved using Amplitude because it allowed me to dive deep into product usage and analyze different customer segments."
"Other areas like cohort analysis, defining key events, and user properties were also well-suited for Amplitude. It is an easy tool to use."
"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 has positively impacted my organization as it allows us to make decisions based on data and iterate faster."
"Sprout Social is the best; it is very good, actually, because I have used Intercom and Zendesk, but when I look at the different software I have used as a customer service agent, I would go for Sprout Social as it is more complete and easy to navigate."
"One of the biggest advantages of Sprout Social is its user-friendly dashboard and clear visual reports, which make it easy to interpret data and present insights to clients."
"Sprout Social has saved us a lot of time, provided the convenience of a single login to multiple socials, and requires less time for training, making it very easy to use and start using it."
"In my experience, the best features Sprout Social offers are the ability to manage multiple campaigns."
 

Cons

"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."
"Amplitude could be improved by being cheaper."
"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."
"Amplitude is almost perfect, but there are some charts I cannot create due to the large data structure."
"Regarding how Amplitude can be improved, I think that dashboards and charts are ephemeral; people often create dashboards but rarely revisit them, so while a handful of dashboards might survive, the real value lies in the insight derived from them."
"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 free features in Amplitude Analytics need enhancement."
"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"If you do not already have existing solutions and you are using the platform to help schedule out marketing campaigns, it will not be that helpful."
"Sprout Social can be improved because the user experience of having hundreds of channels to navigate can be quite fiddly, especially when trying to bulk post."
"As of now, I have been using Sprout Social for almost two years, but there are some glitches in the back-end; sometimes the posts are not integrated or do not come with the proper details, proper dates, or proper content."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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