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.

Digital experience insights have improved funnel decisions and now optimize checkout journeys
There are multiple features of Glassbox. One major feature of Glassbox is the Struggle Score that will be applied to every session by identifying the behavior of rage clicks, excessive scrolling, or dead clicks. It correlates the struggle with the revenue impact. Instead of seeing a list of a thousand errors, I will see five errors actually costing us the most money, helping me prioritize what to fix first. In addition to that, in the tagless capture, there are some benefits such as no manual coding will be required and immediate answers to any questions. That is the best feature of Glassbox as well. Glassbox positively impacts my organization by increasing our productivity using its features.

Cons

"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 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."
"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"Amplitude is almost perfect, but there are some charts I cannot create due to the large data structure."
"The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced."
"Amplitude could be improved by being cheaper."
"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."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"Glassbox can be improved in various ways. I think performance and lag are areas needing improvements."
"Glassbox can be improved because it is somewhat complex and there is a steep learning curve that requires training."
