I like the straightforward way of connecting with various data sources and destinations. That's the most valuable feature. It has built-in integrations for a lot of them, so the overall effort required for integrations is relatively low.

Inserting some very simple code snippets has made this part of it a breeze for our developer so he can concentrate on the hard stuff.

I chose a rating of eight out of ten because these video tutorials would really illustrate how to use the tool to its full potential, and perhaps some more hands-on support from the Segment team would push it to a ten.

Segment could be improved by allowing community-based integrations, particularly for integrations available only via webhook that are not natively available, such as those from attribution platforms.

The only challenge was the session functionality.

The challenge is the lack of flexibility in the SDKs, given the capabilities of the destinations.

The design of the website is such that you lose context when clicking around (e.g. when clicking on docs).
