"Great analytics tool"
What do you like best about PostHog?

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.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

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.

What problems is PostHog solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Incredibly easy, and great documentation!"
What do you like best about PostHog?

The platform never stood in the way of getting to the finish-line. Rather it helped find a flaw in the way i structured my events. Super intuitve!

What do you dislike about PostHog?

It was a bit hard to figure out what the power-ups were. But since Good Tape is a sister-company of Zetland, I was able to copy a lot of the setup from there.

What problems is PostHog solving and how is that benefiting you?

Making events easily accessable in an understandable interface.

"Kait's Review"
What do you like best about PostHog?

SESSION RECORDINGS holy moly we use this religiously. It is so incredible to be able to see what our users are doing, immediately following their session.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

The sheer amount of features can sometimes be overwhelming.

What problems is PostHog solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using session data to understand where people are dropping off on our website, looking at rage clicks to understand what buttons need assistance, and overall being able to see user experiences have been critical to us as a startup trying to understand Product Market Fit.

"Excellent product to record analytics data"
What do you like best about PostHog?

PostHog is easy to install and provides a large number of features, such as heatmaps and session recording, out of the box. Support is responsive and informative. Previously I was paying for heat map and session recording features - but it all comes with PostHog for free.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

There are minimal video tutorials, but I understand why - it's hard to keep them updated. Some of the default reports in the dashboard are not hugely intuitive.

What problems is PostHog solving and how is that benefiting you?

PostHog lets me see how my customers are using my software in near real time with the session recording features. I have used this to observe and subsequently fix bugs that customers have been dealing with but not reporting.

"Great tool for analysing app metrics, very easy to use, would highly recommend"
What do you like best about PostHog?

Posthog is so easy to use, simple set-up and easy to build dashboards for reporting metrics, great navigation as well

What do you dislike about PostHog?

If you have a lot of data feeding into Posthog trying to find something specific can be difficult, but overall no real issues.

What problems is PostHog solving and how is that benefiting you?

We did not want to build our own dashboard to access our app metrics, Posthog was a straight out of the box, Set-up very easy and saved us months of work. I used to pull alot of metrics manually, but PostHog has saved us months of work.

"It's been great. Clean, easy and friendly product to use."
What do you like best about PostHog?

I'm a developer and the implementation was pretty straightforward. The dashboard is clean, friendly, and easy to use

What do you dislike about PostHog?

I dislike that there's no way to have different environments. The closest to that is creating projects for each environment, but the navigation between projects is not as easy as I would want because when you have a lot of projects you need to start searching for the one that you need. It would be nice to have a way of grouping projects by some tags or have a favorite section.

What problems is PostHog solving and how is that benefiting you?

Understanding the user's behavior. We also use a lot the feature flags. The ability to create dashboards with important metrics and insights

"Very high-quality product for tracking, recording, and feature flags"
What do you like best about PostHog?

I really like the ability to auto-capture the DOM views - and to get the tracking for users that are on our site. It's easy to know MAUs without any DB querying!

What do you dislike about PostHog?

They recently turned oft the ability to self-host. This is a bit frustrating because we used to be able to directly query the data from their datastore. Now we have to export. It's not a big issue.

What problems is PostHog solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's basically solving everything that we would get from FullStory, but it doesn't suck and it's cheap!

It's very intuitive, free for a very reasonable load, and super easy to navigate and set up. I use it for all my businesses and wouldn't recommend anything else.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

Maybe adding in a tutorial would be helpful!

Haven't found anything to dislike. I really like it.

"A quiver of tools for every product team"
What do you like best about PostHog?

Posthog provides so many useful tools for measuring and testing features and user acquisition behavior - it would have taken ages to build half of what is provided out of the box!

What do you dislike about PostHog?

The sheer volume of features available in PostHog can be overwhelming, sometimes making it feel like I'm not using everything as well as I could be. Thankfully their support team is super helpful, and documentation is available for everything they make.

What problems is PostHog solving and how is that benefiting you?

Session replay lets us see where user journeys get confusing or intimidating, and A/B testing lets us experiment with changes to see what will land well with our customers. We use analytics all over the place to track growth, which helps us measure and track our targets.

"Powerfull tool for products"
What do you like best about PostHog?

There are many different types of events to work with. We can create reports with this data easily It's simple to send custom events and create funnels. The user interface is friendly It has all data that I need to know how customer experience is!

What do you dislike about PostHog?

I miss a visual editor (like google optimize) for ab tests and experiments. Some platforms (like hubspot and webflow) are easier to apply ab tests using visual editor

What problems is PostHog solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a small business and Posthog plan help us to start our site with funnels , A/B tests and to know how customer are interacting with our site

"All-things Product Analytics"
What do you like best about PostHog?

One of the standout features of PostHog is its session replay functionality - to visualize and analyze how users interact with your website or application by recording and playing back their sessions. Custom dashboard feature - to track and analyze key metrics and events. Events of user activities - to gain an understanding of user engagement, conversion funnels, and feature adoption.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

Nothing comes to mind; PostHog does the job perfectly.

What problems is PostHog solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting quantitative metrics during building is crucial; PostHog does it perfectly and helps map them to the qualitative metrics that we collect from user interviews and R&D.

"Extremely easy to set up, detailed insights in days."
What do you like best about PostHog?

PostHog has been lifechanging for our small startup. We were struggling with other tools, and now we can finally see exactly which users are engaging with which screens - and how we can keep improving our platform.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

So far, no complaints! The only slight bummer is that we can't quite tell the user's identity (e.g. from their email) until they login for the first time. We don't currently force users to logout and log back in, but will be doing a broader launch soon in which they'll have to login again, so that shouldn't be an issue.

What problems is PostHog solving and how is that benefiting you?

Understanding which features users go to most, any screens causing trouble, and getting deep on our power user behaviors.

"Great to debug user sessions and get notifications of user activity"
What do you like best about PostHog?

Recording user sessions, rageclick events (to find the egregious bugs), love that it's easy to integrate into your app.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

Not much! I had a really easy time integrating it and it has a lot of features for our small team.

What problems is PostHog solving and how is that benefiting you?

We wanted to be able to follow user sessions in real time. We are a small startup trying to get to PMF so all of our users are valuable and we want to make sure they're having a great experience.
