Neha Lall - PeerSpot reviewer
Product Analytics Lead at MSE Technology
Granular behavioral tracking has transformed how we understand user journeys and optimize funnels
Snowplow could be improved in a couple of areas. The Snowplow team is readily available and proactive, always jumping on calls to make changes, especially how we track consent and non-consent data for the EU market. One area of improvement could be its vast canvas, which might feel overwhelming and confusing to people who are less technical or are not sure how to best structure their data. Although Snowplow is powerful, getting value from this granular event data does require strong SQL skills and knowledge of the underlying data model. Therefore, making the data more accessible to less technical users could enhance intuitive self-service exploration, funnel visualization, and easier debugging of tracking issues, allowing product teams to gain insights without relying heavily on analysts. Snowplow could also automate most processes and implement smarter monitoring alerts for fallback. Better documentation and easier debugging when event tracking or schemas change would help, given that managing event definitions centrally can be a hassle when there is a breaking change. Having automated systems to inform users about changes in events or properties would make things smoother across teams.

Building AI-assisted disposable research tools has transformed how I automate data gathering
I believe IntelliSense is a good tool to work with, but I wish it could be strengthened in terms of auto suggestions and code rectification. It is efficient at this moment but has room for improvement. Firstly, there is room for improvement in IntelliSense auto suggestion and auto compilation. Although it is very good and robust, it can be improved. Secondly, I have noticed that it sometimes takes a little time to start up and can be a bit slow, perhaps because it consumes lots of RAM or CPU resources. If that can be improved, it would be beneficial. Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022's AI capabilities, I believe it needs some improvement in accuracy and reliability. At the moment, while AI provides suggestions, I have to review and edit them. Although it has its concerns, it is good in that AI now gives a first draft, whereas in the past, humans had to write everything from scratch.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have a lot more insight into our user behaviour and can now make the correct decisions."
"On a broader level, Snowplow has brought a lot of credibility to the analysis and dashboards that I have created, with the biggest positive impact being that it gives us reliable, centralized behavioral data that teams can use consistently."
"Snowplow has positively impacted my organization by enabling me to see user behavior in real time."
"Snowplow has impacted my organization positively, very well. For DPG Media, it is the most important data source that we have, delivering a lot of value in the company."
"Snowplow is excellent at what it is designed for: full control over data collection and processing, strong schema-driven tracking, and works really well with warehouse-first stacks like Google BigQuery."
"Snowplow is doing perfectly what it says it is doing; it meets everything it promises and develops the product all the time."
"Capability in Visual Studio Professional 2022 means it is supporting all things like testing for my testing purpose, as well as the development; everything is integrated in Visual Studio Professional 2022."
"The benefits that Visual Studio Professional 2022 provides combined with the pricing makes it a good choice."
"Visual Studio has pretty good support for Git conflict resolving features."
"Visual Studio Professional 2022 is a fully functional IDE with advanced capabilities that provide an edge over other platforms."
 

Cons

"The only issue that we had at a certain moment was that Snowplow was offering more services and asking us to pay more, but we did not use all these services."
"Snowplow can be improved by reducing the pricing, as it is currently too high."
"One area of improvement could be its vast canvas, which might feel overwhelming and confusing to people who are less technical or are not sure how to best structure their data."
"Setup is challenging because getting the pipeline infrastructure right is hard."
"Maintenance overhead was high, debugging and schema management were time-consuming, and there were increasing security concerns due to it no longer being actively maintained."
"Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022's AI capabilities, I believe it needs some improvement in accuracy and reliability."
"Apart from the editing feature, I would like to see improvement in Visual Studio Professional 2022 because performance has dropped significantly, making it currently about 100 times slower than Qt Creator, which is unreasonable to use in a multi-core environment such as the 128 cores that I use."
"One area I could suggest regarding improvements in deployment efficiency using Visual Studio Professional 2022 is that the context-aware code suggestion should be more tailored."
"Currently, Visual Studio Professional 2022 is not supporting the .TS, TypeScript code, which is a disadvantage, because with Playwright, we can do that in C#, but having Playwright code with TypeScript, I am not able to see any project or any suggestion about the .TS code."
