Segment is a customer data platform that helps engineering teams at companies like Tradesy, TIME, Inc., Gap, Lending Tree, PayPal, and Fender, etc., achieve time and cost savings on their data infrastructure, which was acquired by Twilio November 2020. The vendor says they also enable Product, BI, and Marketing teams to access 200+ tools (Mixpanel, Salesforce, Marketo, Redshift, etc.) to better understand and optimize customer preferences for growth— all integrations are pre-built and…
The advantage of Magento BI is easier compatibility and adaptation with Adobe platforms and easier installation, configuration and customization with Mojto Store Builder and its various caskets, and I am very satisfied with it now and in every way I think it is a very good …
Mixpanel and Amplitude offer strong data analytics and Google Analytics is powerful for web data, but their integration capabilities are less extensive compared to Twilio Segment. It's easy-to-use api and data collection and cleaning capabilities Twilio Segment operates as a …
We chose Twilio Segment for the good API integration and node resources, I would use Ontraport again, particularly if I didn't have the requirements for API and development/platform integration. Certainly the set up and management is easy and seamless with both the API and the …
Tealium was slow to set up and unreliable. It has better pricing but took significantly more Dev time to implement. We also could not debug issues and their support was slow to assist.
Segment is considerably cheaper but doesn't have the GUI for non-SQL users. GA Premium doesn't have all the data connectors, and can be more difficult to configure on SPAs.
I'm not sure these are "official competitors" (or alternatives) to Segment, but we use them in parallel for different goals. We use Datadog for logging and monitoring and we use Mixpanel to perform data analysis based on the data we gather using Segment (and other sources). I …
We tried to set up our entire data analytics process through these tools but there were some parts of the data capture, set-up, analytics that was missing with these tools. None of them could provide the ease of setting up with a complete picture of the data and analytics like …
It's much more personalized and user-focused data available in real-time, and immediately exported to an external database. It's provided more control over how the information is used and displayed for actionable insights.
Segment is not really suitable for most websites that have more than 10k MTU - If you run a semi-popular website, there are many tools out there that will do basic web analytics, like Google Analytics. Google Analytics provides simple resources for tracking user growth, …
The competitors above either charge a lot if you want to warehouse your data, don't allow data warehousing, or make it very difficult to warehouse your data (requiring you to write custom scripts and run them on schedulers). Segment makes it easy to warehouse your application's …
See my previous response. Google Tag Manager is great if you are firmly in the Google ecosphere. But they don't have as many integrations as Segment.io
Looked at Google Tag Manager, but too complicated. Segment.io mostly competes with each individual martech tool of implementing all the event tracking yourself for each tool.
If you have multiple sources of data that you need to compile into one to cross report, this is a good tool to do that. The connections of those data sources definitely need an expert, so keep that in mind. Also keep in mind, that if you are starting from square 0 on database queries and reporting, there will be a learning curve. I think once you have the base knowledge though, RJ Metrics is relatively intuitive, has a nice UI, and most importantly, allows us to build the reports that we need with confidence that the information included in the reports is up to date and correct.
Best suited: - Merging emails coming from: Facebook leads forms, Unbounce or landing pages forms, Google forms, any other kind of lead generation tool and bundling all that information together for a single user "profile". - Passing events generated in multiple applications by the same user (product selected in web, product discarded in cart, etc) and delivering those events into other applications (like a CRM) Less appropriate: - Reading/updating data directly from segment from a frontend application
It is relatively easy to manipulate the time period in which you want to see your report. This is important for our business because we are constantly analyzing sales month over month, quarter over quarter, and year over year. RJ makes it easy to toggle between these time ranges on the same report.
The visualizers available for reports are what you would expect out of a product like this. You have the ability to view your results in tables and a multitude of charts.
The ability to customize dashboards and rearrange reports quickly is great and intuitive!
Educational videos and tutorials must be more simpler and more understandable language with subtitles
There should be the ability to select graphic diagrams with different shapes and graphs
The basic features of the Essential Paln can be increased with the current price so that startup companies can better use the features of this platform.
Potentially, it could "warn" the developers/product about areas in our code that are not covered by events (and let us decide if it's "be design" or we missed it).
It's difficult to get accumulated history data exported out in order to analyze it.
There's no easy way to compare data from 2 sources (our main target is to compare the same events between our test environment and prod environment).
In addition to its features, it has made the Magento Commerce platform much better, more functional, and smarter, and through Magento BI dashboard they know very well what reports have been sent and all our business tools are summarized in one business platform. The ability to share report results is very popular and useful, and you can share content with anyone anywhere in the world.
The very strong and knowledgeable support team and great help forums and documents, any questions and cases will be answered immediately or checked through tickets and resolved quickly. It is also possible to send comments and changes. Or our team , fast response and after-sales cooperation of the service company is always more than the product itself and its quality, and we want the service and support to support our interests.
Over the period it took us to set up, we kept going back to their enablement team to help us with the setup, and they were always ready and were very helpful in the entire process. Even with their documentation, they took the time out to help us work through the process. We've never had a message/email unanswered for more than an hour on working days.

Segment is not really suitable for most websites that have more than 10k MTU - If you run a semi-popular website, there are many tools out there that will do basic web analytics, like Google Analytics. Google Analytics provides simple resources for tracking user growth, demographics, and conversion rates of websites, which is more suitable for companies that are looking for simpler analytics data.
Event tracking lets you take ownership of your own data, which in part makes it easy to craft metrics and do deep dives to see how your product is working. This has a huge ROI, because without metrics you're basically flying blind.
You can also use Segment's event tracking to fuel your experimentation and AB testing strategies. AB testing is the best way to ship features in a tech product with confidence that you're making a positive impact.
