PostHog Reviews & Product Details

Viewing user bahavior and then being able to dig into that users other behaviors to identify retention hooks.

It's a lot when you frist home in. It has a friendly tone, but it's a big job to get setup. Though I don't think this is worse than competitors.

Visibility into user behavior at scale and then being able to zoom in.

It's very easy to set up, good community support, great developer docs. Does many critical tasks in one package.

Honestly it's a great tool. The team just needs to work on brand awareness, I've used Mixpanel and Amplitude and their sales are much more active. Posthog would grow more if they had better GTM.

Easier to user than GA4. I better understand user behavior and the session replay feature is as good as fullstory at an affordable price. I am semi technical and was able to set up autotrack.

It's an in-depth analytical tool that doesn't only show retrospective analysis as well as live statuses of the platform. It can also show who is currently using the platform and what actions they're doing!

Feature Usage Visualization Tools can be a bit easier to use, And the list of current users for unknown users can be managed a bit better!

Understanding how customers interact with our WebApp, what all features of our product are being used, and then based on these statistics, we can make business decisions on what to develop more towards!

Feature Flags is the best part of PostHog that gives you the power of releasing new services and features to selected customers.

The user interface could have been better.

Our development team had to develop on/off switches for every feature. PostHog's Feature Flags is a very convenient feature management tool that removes this necessity from development team's shoulders.

Feature flags are so helpful to launch new features

Takes a bit of training to navigate around, but nothing insurmountable

We can check when there are errors and quickly fix them for users. We can also put new feature behind feature flags for testing.

I like it best because it's open-source, so also my devs love it. What is more, simple UI is a huge advantage of this tool. Moreover, customization and availability of so many templates, frameworks etc. is appealing. I also like the fact that numerous YT videos with tutorials are available.

Too many clicks to achieve a goal. I'd be keen on using the PostHog AI feature, simply asking me what I would like to get. There should be a special wizard, step-by-step, taking me through a series of actions in a single flow, instead of me understanding the PostHog relations, figuring out how something should be set up.

PostHog allows me to undserstand what's really happening within my product's ecosystem. I know exactly which feature is used most of the time, what clients are interested in, and on what my dev team should put major focus. PostHog visualizes all business insights in a clear way, that enhances the decision-making process.

It is simple to integrate and test. The documentation covers most of the use cases.

Some auto-capture events don't work sometimes

Session replays and user behavior is easier to track with posthog

I really like Posthog. Super powerful tool, especially for the LOE required to stand it up. I've used it to set up in product (SaaS) and onsite experimentation, instrument funnels and flows, run web analytics, collect user data, and capture event and behavioral data. It's pretty simple to get started, straightforward to get rolling, complex to bend the system to your will. They have a generous free tier and pretty reasonable pricing structure on top of it.

It's made for a variety of things, but pretty difficult to add to or modify those things at will. I'd like more flexibility and customization. Also, pushing the data to a warehouse in JSON format really sucks and creates a ton of work to ingest and clean properly - at least for me. Maybe others are more apt to parse JSON in transit or tranform once in the warehouse.

The same ones they say they're solving. The ones they solve for me are called out in what I like about the tool.

Session Replays! I haven't used many features besides that yet. I think it offers the lowest barriers to entry (i.e. minimal configuration).

Nothing yet. I've found it intuitive and feature-rich.

I get to see how users actually use my app, which lets me continuously improve the user experience.

I've looked into multiple analytics providers for our organization's web applications including Clarity, Fathom, and Plausible. PostHog is quite overpowered compared to the others and allows moving to EU hosting at any point, which is reassuring in case we want to be working on GDPR compliances in the future.

All of our requirements are for the frontend web side so this will specifically be about using posthog-js. At the moment of writing, posthog-js is a mess. It causes errors at unexpected places (especially if the user has opted out of analytics), and I've found some bugs that I was expecting to be ironed out by now based on the maturity of the project.

PostHog gives us advanced analytics, feature flags, A/B testing, and session replay. This spans a huge chunk of what Cryptlex needs for building a better user experience. Surely, going the human-centred way takes a lot more than just biased outlooks on A/B tests, and incorrect inferences on session replays, but PostHog gives you enough data to get jump-started with fine-tuning your product based on data-driven decisions. The tutorials and guides are top-notch, but I still hold my share of complaints about posthog-js.
