PostHog Reviews & Product Details

Self-hosted session replays and potential to become a complete suite of product ops

Pretty complex UX, we can do much better in simplicity and guiding regularly for best utilization.

It's helping us become more proactive to customer delight by reactively identifying opportunities to improve the product experience by identifying bugs, friction areas and areas to dive-deeper into product value.

easy to get started on event tracking in posthog

given the nature of the product area, bit cumbersome to do all the figuring out to make it work.

granular insights into user behaviour related to product usage. helps find out how to evolve the product

Documentation, transparency, and non-corporate vibe.

Minor bugs here and there; maybe some more documents on how to use it and get the value quickly.

Providing flexible behavioral insight, so we can have a better understanding of user behavior and create a better product in the future.

We use posthog for various purposes in our organization , Main things is it helps in capturing the status of each events created in Mobile App through LIVE EVENTS and INSIGHTS.Able to create Dashboards of our choice to monitor the Weekly and monthly user access of the App and monitor the status.Also have the feature of recording the session and replay it . Individual Person and group based validation can also be done for particular features like observing the status of usage of features only BETA USERS.

Event doesn't gets updated immediately on click in the APP , sometimes there is delay of an hour and sometimes it is quick. So makes the developers confused whether the events are created correctly.

Differents metrics can be tracked with same tool , mobile app , dashboards their error logs ,events everything can be captured on daily basis. Can group it for weeks , months and years check the usage status. If there is sudden drop in usage it indicates the error in that feature , which helps in debugging and resolving the issue faster

Mainly I like Live events and tracking on events. Its very easy to create a Dashboard and user-friendly to use. We can see the actions performed on our applications and will get the graph.

It takes time to load, needs to work on loading time. This is the only thing i dislike about PostHog. Rest everything works fine for me as it is very useful for our work.

It solves manual handling and saves lot of our testing time. We majorly use for dynamic clicks to segregate the actions on the click and helps to track so many things.

Posthog is a great tool that you can use to get insights on the usage of your platform with multiple tools like: * easy to integrate * unique user filtering * recordings of the sessions * build funnels * really good and complex dashboards with insights into your platform. Overall it is a really powerful tool that can help you get a good vision of how people are using your platform.

Even though the tool is really powerful it can be scary for new users, or not tech people to build the dashboards or navigate the platform in the first moment, it is something really hard to solve so not sure if there is a lot they could do to change that. Also sometimes to understand why some reports are not getting to the point that you need can request you a little more effort than you would need.

Get insights on the usage of our platform and help with A/B testing analytics

It integrates seamlessly with all tools, making it easy to identify user issues and collect data. collect data.

I think it has some learning curves. Not that easy to use.

When a user faces issues and can't identify the cause, I can investigate with PostHog to determine the reason.

The simplicity of using Posthog is probably the best aspect of it. It's easy to get started & using the same user attributes in insights, cohorts, experiments etc. is super valuable!

The biggest annoyance is the unability to setup different environments within the same project. We run a lot of experiments within our app, but want to obviously test them beforehand, so now there's a lot of duplicate work and double-checking when setting up the feature flags to ensure they always are up to date with what's in the development-project. In addition, we would love to be able to create cohorts based on date times & group attributes. Now we have to send duplicate data to bothe the user & group level to be able to target our feature flags correctly but also create the correct cohorts.

Posthog centralizes the product analytics space for us, as we used to have 3 different tools doing what Posthog does now. It reduces the overhead of our analytics setup and streamlines it efficiently ☺️

I LOVE that it is pay for what you use, with generous usage limits with the free tier. The interface is a wonderful experience and I love that there are so many different features available, but you don't have to be using them to feel like you are getting some valuable out of PostHog.

I think the biggest downside is that the wide variety of product analytics tools make you wonder how it is possible to have a good product that is spread so widely. Maybe working to message intended use cases would be a good improvement. For example, having both web usage analytics (like GA) and feature flags (like Launch Darkley) seem to be mixing the worlds of analytics and software development. IMO that is a great thing, but it may be confusing to some.

It let's us see the usage of our product as we launch alpha.

It is very feature rich and easy to understand once it is set up properly. Support is also good

Setting up action through the tool bar is difficult sometimes

It gives us application usage analytics and user behaviour
