Considered Both Products
Adjust
Chose Adjust
Because of the below reasons:
  • Very easy to use and the integration process moved forward smoothly
  • Offers the right data and information
Chose Adjust
Each MMP has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. What I like about Adjust is that it blocks the postbacks for invalid traffic without triggering an install which helps reduce fraud, as the fraudulent party does not get paid. Other systems count the install and then …
Chose Adjust
I would recommend AppsFlyer over Adjust, as they have a better UI, clearer solutions, and better customer success than Adjust. Regarding Singular, Adjust is lagging behind the reporting tools and analytics.
Chose Adjust
We use a lot of platforms and I would say adjust is on the higher tier- but still not the most user friendly
Chose Adjust
- Adjust Attribution is easily better than AppsFlyer. Adjust Attribution since it includes both mobile site and Desktop tracking
Chose Adjust
Kochava is the most popular one and has a better dashboard, offering many options for visualizing data. Adjust has a poor dashboard in comparison to Kochava, but offers easier integration with SDK and is cheaper. I don't think adjust shares device IDs, though. Its attribution …

Chose Twilio Segment
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 …
Chose Twilio Segment
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 …
Chose Twilio Segment
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.
Chose Twilio Segment
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.
Chose Twilio Segment
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 …
Chose Twilio Segment
Segment is far more versatile than Mixpanel alone. We still use Mixpanel, but it wouldn't be nearly as useful without Segement.
Chose Twilio Segment
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 …
Chose Twilio Segment
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.
Chose Twilio Segment
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, …
Chose Twilio Segment
Segment syncs different data than those apps, making it a useful addition to the stack.
Chose Twilio Segment
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 …
Chose Twilio Segment
There were no other solutions like Segment that I evaluated. I've never even heard of a comparable solution.
Chose Twilio Segment
Similar offering, since I didn't go with them I couldn't a more in depth response.
Chose Twilio Segment
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
Chose Twilio Segment
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.

Likelihood to Recommend
It is very well-suited for big apps that have lots of users. They scale very well and are a little bit less expensive than other alternatives. They have API connections that are suitable for internal attributions and data. I recommend other solutions in some cases, such as cohorts and UI/Agency access.

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

Pros
  • Tracking installs on mobile app campaigns on Android or iOS, as well as UAC campaigns.
  • Tracking in-app actions on our mobile campaigns.
  • Showing more accurate numbers, since it counts pure installs from new users only without counting re-installs,
  • Counts installs only after first opening of the app, while Google and Apple count also downloads even if the app doesn't get installed or opened after.

  • Unmatched insight into the customer journey when they come into contact with our business.
  • The ability for it to break down data in a way that allows us to analyse customer engagement.
  • It efficiently integrates with my current softwares eg Shopify.

Cons
  • UI is very confusing and needs a refresh.
  • Reports are very limited and need more granularity.
  • Onboarding program for agencies lacks concrete information.
Read full review
  • 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).

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.

Alternatives Considered
Each MMP has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. What I like about Adjust is that it blocks the postbacks for invalid traffic without triggering an install which helps reduce fraud, as the fraudulent party does not get paid. Other systems count the install and then you need to go into the logs to subtract it but Adjust does it automatically. However, Adjust is by far the MMP with the worst UI and UX.

Return on Investment
  • As a positive impact it helped us create dashboards for every aspect of the business.
  • It made us more data-oriented with the possibility to study retention and activation of specific cohorts.

  • 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.
