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.

Targeted journeys have boosted engagement and support teams track user behavior daily
CleverTap helps in enhancing the user experience, increasing engagement, and keeping track of events, for example, which user clicked which event and what actions took place. It even notices which services have not been used for a long time and reminds about it. The analytics is good, and the communication made by CleverTap through emails and SMS is effective. Additionally, push notifications are great, and the segmentation of customers is excellent, including Omnichannel journeys. CleverTap has positively impacted my organization by increasing engagement, increasing activation and reactivation. I have seen a plus 30% open rate for push notifications, a plus 3% conversion rate, and a 20% return on investment for growth.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 positively impacted my organization as it allows us to make decisions based on data and iterate faster."
"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 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."
"We can create charts and bar charts for visualization purposes and check real-time data with the solution."
"Amplitude offers flexibility in real-time data analysis, allowing users to make immediate decisions."
"Other areas like cohort analysis, defining key events, and user properties were also well-suited for Amplitude. It is an easy tool to use."
"I loved using Amplitude because it allowed me to dive deep into product usage and analyze different customer segments."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization because we were able to increase activation metrics like match start and match completion rates by 18 and 29%, respectively, and we saw an increase in our Play Store ratings, but beyond that, we could not continue our initiatives due to the Unity integration issue."
"Before using CleverTap, our sales last month were 57 lakhs, and when we started using CleverTap, the sales automatically increased to 97 lakhs, which is a huge number."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization as it helped me to increase my leads volume."
"From my experience, CleverTap is doing exceptional work."
"Since I started using CleverTap, I have seen some improvements, especially because it has been very efficient and perfect for my organization."
"With the help of CleverTap's decision-making AI, CleverAI, we are able to easily improve our overall customer retention by 25 percent."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization as we use it to send communications and generate better revenue from targeting users through various channels."
"We have seen clear measurable return on investment after implementing CleverTap, both in terms of revenue impact and operational efficiency."
 

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."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"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."
"The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced."
"Amplitude is almost perfect, but there are some charts I cannot create due to the large data structure."
"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."
"From a product manager's perspective, CleverTap follows a usage-based and tier pricing model, which is fairly standard for customer engagement platforms, but it comes with both advantages and some complexity."
"CleverTap can be improved as their pricing needs to be lower because I think that CleverTap is one of the pricey platforms in the CRM field."
"I would recommend improving the website loading time because whenever I open the CleverTap website to see my dashboard data, it takes a bit of time."
"In my experience, CleverTap is not stable, at least for Unity."
"CleverTap can be improved by adding some basic functionality to journeys that would allow me to target dynamically previous users who have visited the homepage but have not made a purchase in the last 15 days, as there is currently no way to communicate with them dynamically, only a static base is available."
"One area of improvement I would suggest for CleverTap can be on the user interface; it is not very user-friendly."
"From a product manager's perspective, CleverTap follows a usage-based and tier pricing model, which is fairly standard for customer engagement platforms, but it comes with both advantages and some complexity."
"I intend to use CleverTap extensively for a campaign, but there are constraints with many features not up to mark or due to broken features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
