Featured Reviews

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.
Joyce Mayor - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Manager at Procter & Gamble
Unified social workflows have transformed reporting, listening, and engagement across channels
The best features Sprout Social offers are exceptional reporting capabilities and an intuitive user interface. I have several colleagues who use it to create posts, and the training takes about five minutes, especially for new users. Excellent customer service and a great social listening tool stand out as well. Aggregating mentions, quickly assessing the competitive landscape by channel, and excellent and highly responsive customer service are key strengths. I love the Sprout Social link feature to connect Instagram users with the URLs I am directing them to, and the flexibility to schedule across platforms in bulk or individually at optimal post times is valuable.

"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."
"Other areas like cohort analysis, defining key events, and user properties were also well-suited for Amplitude. It is an easy tool to use."

"Sprout Social has positively impacted my organization by saving us time and effort."
"Sprout Social has positively impacted my organization through time saving, quick reporting, and easy connection to our social media platforms."
"Sprout Social is a great tool because it has helped me unify my social media program on a single platform, enables me to track the impact of social media campaigns, and has allowed my support team to streamline their workflows to handle social media tickets effectively."
"Sprout Social is a great and top-notch tool primarily for scheduling and planning our social media content on different pages, with really great support and it is a very cost-effective tool."
"Sprout Social has positively impacted my organization by facilitating seamless content planning and publishing, allowing us to engage with our clients and the public with well-timed and relevant posts."

"Sprout Social has positively impacted my organization by helping support steady follower growth through consistent posting, improving efficiency with easy content planning and scheduling, and enabling us to track everything, which is something we could not do before."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The free features in Amplitude Analytics need enhancement."
"Amplitude could be improved by being cheaper."
"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."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"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."
"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."
"Sprout Social can be improved as it lacks native support for every social network."
"I wish the ability to tag other Facebook pages was a reality with Sprout Social."
"Additionally, it does not always support high-quality images or videos, and it is difficult to figure out how to get them into the platform."
"I sometimes find it difficult to drill down into deeper analytics when using Sprout Social."
"I believe technical support must be improved in Sprout Social."
"There were definitely a lot of issues with billing regarding how Sprout Social bills, and that actually is my biggest issue with the platform."
"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."
