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…

UXCam promises a thorough qualitative analysis of your app - every session, every screen and every user. The vendor says key benefits and capabilities include: Use Session Analysis to test assumptions about your app’s most important features and pinpoint user experience issues right where they occur. Use Screen UX analysis to understand the impact of every screen and increase conversion. Use User Analysis to gain a deep understanding of…
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.
The pricing for UXCam App Analytics was promising and within our budgets. Reaching out to UXCam team was easy and within a week they presented the key features along with customisable pricing subscriptions we can opt for. The feedback around UXCam App Analytics was also …
UXCam provided higher coverage of features than Mixpanel or Inspectlet standalone. In fact, it has the features if you combine both the products which is amazing. In a single integration I can get multiple use-cases covered.
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
App is well suited for analyzing the customer behavior and flows. It helps in tracking the user funnel on the app. It can record the sessions so its helpful in qualitative research and analysis.
Secondly, it's very helpful in monitoring the performance of the app across different devices, analytics, etc. It helps in analyzing the frozen or crashed sessions.
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.
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.
The pricing for UXCam App Analytics was promising and within our budgets. Reaching out to UXCam team was easy and within a week they presented the key features along with customisable pricing subscriptions we can opt for. The feedback around UXCam App Analytics was also positive as we checked from outside organisations. UXcam team also helped around integration with the tech team to make it swift.
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.
