I love how easy it is to use it and to integrate with the code, also it suports a lot of frameworks. I was surprise by how useful insights and the dashboards are. Feature flags is also another feature that I use a lot and that allows me to ship to production fast
I think the pricing for events is a bit expensive, also the free tier could have a bit more events, I am manly comparing to Mixpanel.
It helps to ship faster to production, and with more confidence. We can fix most issues quickers and deactivate what's not working using feature flags. We also can understand the pain points of our applicatio.
Generous limits and features on the free tier.
Some areas are overwhelming. The documentation is robust though.
They provide me valuable analytic and replay information.
It's easy to start with the snippet It's easy to integrate into Django backend It replaces what I have done previously with a hodgepodge of Google Tags/Analytics and HotJar.
Not really a downside, but something I would value: As a solo founder in a new company, I'm doing all the tech and everything else myself. PostHog has a MAD amount of features. I've really valued how they are documented, but it would be helpful to me to be guided as to where best to focus my attention based on the stage of the business. I've gone through your 'quick start' check list, but I feel this could be improved so that it covers more of the tooling (I don't think surveys or actions are in it?) and is potentially more clearly gated. I remember glacing at once piece of guidance that I know can't find where you suggested for early stage companies focussing on 2 or 3 core default insights and 'ignoring' the rest. That I thought was very helpful.
Proving (or disproving) that registered users are actually using the service, and which features they are using.
It's very simple to use. You can quickly create and share any insights/dashboards you create. It provides great value for product analytics, such as tracking onboarding funnels.
Not really. We need to move from on-prem to cloud, where we think that most of the current bugs we have will be resolved.
Presenting onboarding funnels and understanding how customers move through our product. We're very data-centric and PostHog helps us gather and present that data easily.
Implementation was incredibly easy, and my team was able to port over feature flags and mixpanel events with ease. This dramatically increased our speed to value, and drove a lot of immediate alignment.
As with any new system, there's a learning curve. The team is embracing the new approaches and features with excitement!
We needed an A/B and multi varient testing solutions asap; PostHog was the clear winner. We're also planning to use PH for feature flag management and session replay.
Toolbar that allows you to view pages and see: - heat map - visit counts - clicks I also love the recording feature, it allows me to better understand my users. A freakishy great free plan of 1000000 events, with my calculations, it should be free for most "simpler" site under 20-30k Monthly Active Users. Install takes about 2min - so quick and easy.
I had to think hard for this sections, my experience with this tool is somewhat limited, but so far for the price of free, seems like there is nothing to complain about. Some improvments to be made, there could be a plugin for wordpress to make it easier to install for those who are not tech savy. It is not a big issue for me though.
Free access to analitics that are more advneced and more GDPR friendly than big boss Google.
Really easy to create dashboards and views and filters for viewing our user data. It's so easy we were able to upskill several members of the team to look at the data themselves.
Pricing is a bit high but otherwise we are happy with the service.
Looking at user behaviour across cohorts.
Price and integration are the best I found - easy to connect and start working on
So far no problems - really like it the interface and solution.
Session replay is one of the most important thing to fix issues as fast as possible.
