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.

Centralized journeys have streamlined multi-channel customer engagement and personalization
Overall, my experience with Braze has been very positive. If I had to mention areas for improvement, I would say the number of campaigns, canvas segments, and channel growth can become challenging to manage and organize. I would also like to see more flexibility around reporting and analytics, especially being able to easily combine cross-channel data and customize reports without relying on additional data from outside of Braze or data platform teams. Braze has been improving its reporting capabilities, and new reporting and dashboard features are definitely moving in the right direction. Additionally, making complex journeys easier to troubleshoot and maintain would be beneficial. When large canvases have multiple branches and conditions, having strong visibility into why a customer took a particular path would ease things for engineering and marketing teams. There is also a limitation regarding making the platform easier to manage at an enterprise scale, especially with a growing number of campaigns since Braze does not have features such as folders for organization. Regarding improvements, Braze's technical support is excellent, but I see areas where the experience could be smoother. On integration, Braze has a strong set of pre-built integrations and APIs; however, for some complex enterprise systems, integration can require engineering effort. More out-of-the-box connectors and simpler configurations would definitely help. From a UI perspective, while the platform is powerful, navigating and troubleshooting can take time with a large number of campaigns and complex canvases. Apart from that, I find the support extremely helpful overall, so I would not say there are major gaps, just opportunities for making this already strong platform easier to manage at scale. One area I would like to see improvement in is the visibility and troubleshooting experience. When running large-scale campaigns across multiple channels, more detailed end-to-end visibility on user interactions would be helpful, such as tracking when a particular user enters or exits a canvas or whether an issue occurs. I would also like to see ongoing improvements in reporting, particularly making it easier to connect campaign performance to our broader business metrics without extra engineering work. As Braze adds more AI capabilities, I see an opportunity to leverage AI not just for content creation but also for troubleshooting, identifying campaign issues, and explaining performance trends. This would save a significant amount of time for both the marketing and engineering teams.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amplitude offers flexibility in real-time data analysis, allowing users to make immediate decisions."
"Having accessible data which can be easily customized and manipulated by even business stakeholders with less technical knowledge is one of the best things."
"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."
"Thanks to the Amplitude dashboard, we could access all the proper data, and regardless of which team or which part, all teams' decision-making became based on the data extracted by Amplitude, which contributed to a positive data-driven cultural movement."
"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."
"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."
"We can create charts and bar charts for visualization purposes and check real-time data with the solution."
"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."
"I love Braze for their retargeting and automation because their automation tracks down user behavior in near real-time, allowing us to convert users based on their trigger actions."
"Braze can be improved, but honestly, I feel it's a pretty perfect tool."
"For me, the ease of Braze is valuable; it is very user friendly, so anyone like myself can pick it up and learn quite quickly."
"We went from about three percent engagement on average per channel to around eight to ten percent overall CTR."
"Braze has positively impacted my organization by directly helping to increase LTV and retention and by helping with the independence of the marketing team."
"Now that I am very versed in Braze, I would definitely lean towards Braze as my preferred tool for its design capabilities, personalization features, ease of use, A/B testing, intelligent timing, and real-time engagement testing."
"The biggest positive impact has been making marketing, CRM, and lifecycle marketing more targeted and scalable."
"Braze has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to save money, as we saved around $800,000 by switching from Salesforce Marketing Cloud to Braze while also making it easier to see our customer journeys and for our producers to set things up."
 

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."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"There was a little bit of a problem with pricing since the price of Amplitude was really expensive, and although its features and functionality are powerful, making it worth it, it could be a huge obstacle for startups or those not making lots of money."
"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."
"The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced."
"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 is almost perfect, but there are some charts I cannot create due to the large data structure."
"If I had to mention areas for improvement, I would say the number of campaigns, canvas segments, and channel growth can become challenging to manage and organize."
"Braze can be improved in areas where I felt it was lacking. I emphasize that this was four years ago, so perhaps it has changed in the meantime."
"I did not find anything significant that needed to be improved about Braze, but perhaps making it easier to have linear journeys instead of building just three or four would be beneficial."
"Braze can be improved from a reporting standpoint to include AI, where we are able to integrate it to provide us with real-time insights."
"Currently, I find that the AI decisioning features, particularly the churn model prediction, are underrated and could be better."
"Braze could improve the data analysis capabilities."
"I am not sure if this is a natural characteristic of CRM tools, but onboarding Braze into an organization requires significantly more effort."
"One area where Braze could be improved is usability for more complex campaigns."
