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.

Unified customer profiles have powered automated journeys and precise data driven campaigns
I found the platform excellent for having unified customer profiles, which I believe is one of the biggest selling points of Braze because it allows you to know your customer in a single profile card. The ease with which you can add new attributes and events and neatly package values underneath is impressive. In banking, we pushed clients towards different types of banking rates and tiers, which has me always wanting to return, leading to a lot of qualifications and certificates because I enjoy the platform so much and want to engage with it further down my career. Braze's best features, for me, are the unified profile cards, along with the ease of connecting different channels, including email as a focus, plus push notifications and extending that to things to in-app messages, content cards, and SMS. That connection is felt immediately upon onboarding with Braze, as the ease of use and the sophisticated UI design allows marketers or automation specialists such as me to do amazing things quickly and intuitively. Braze's analytics side is another interesting part, as it allows you to slice campaigns and different tests that you were running very easily, unlike other platforms I have used, such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud, which often requires workarounds for information. With Braze, the friendly UI enables you to download large volumes of data about your customers and understand campaign performance and why people reacted as they did. Braze's campaign feature is also essential for experts using automation or large-scale segmentation, and the campaign execution side is very intuitive, allowing for slick A/B testing and accurate conversion goal setup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amplitude has positively impacted my organization as it allows us to make decisions based on data and iterate faster."
"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."
"Amplitude has provided almost instant value to our dev team when they are deploying new trackable events and seeing how those events line up before they go out to production."
"Having accessible data which can be easily customized and manipulated by even business stakeholders with less technical knowledge is one of the best things."
"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 is a perfect product that will always fulfill all the data-related needs that your company has, and I would suggest anyone to go for it."
"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 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."
"Braze's best features, for me, are the unified profile cards, along with the ease of connecting different channels, including email as a focus, plus push notifications and extending that to things to in-app messages, content cards, and SMS."
"Braze is an excellent tool that covers my main use case."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 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 could be improved by being cheaper."
"The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced."
"Braze could improve the data analysis capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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