Featured Reviews

Suraj Chandak - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for reporting and monitoring purposes and to check the business KPIs
We take real-time decisions based on the solution's charts. We get an automated email from the solution in our mailbox so that we can particularly only check those error reports into Amplitude. If an end user gets an error while trying to do a transaction, we get alerts from the solution. I would recommend the solution to other users. Amplitude is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly tool. It allows us to create charts, demonstrate data, and view it effectively. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
KamleshPant - PeerSpot reviewer
Data ecosystem thrives with advanced governance and streaming capabilities
It is a data offering where I can see data lineage, data governance, and data security. Snowflake has a streaming capability to work with real-time streaming data and delta tables. Additionally, task management, job scheduling, and connecting multiple data sources unify my data across internal and external sources. The system ecosystem for analytics is enhanced, and AI capabilities are incorporated.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We can create charts and bar charts for visualization purposes and check real-time data with the solution."
"I loved using Amplitude because it allowed me to dive deep into product usage and analyze different customer segments."
"Amplitude offers flexibility in real-time data analysis, allowing users to make immediate decisions."
"Other areas like cohort analysis, defining key events, and user properties were also well-suited for Amplitude. It is an easy tool to use."
"One advantage is that installation is unnecessary since it's cloud-based. You subscribe to a Snowflake instance, configure it, and start using it. It's very user-friendly and allows you to scale up or down based on usage."
"The most valuable features of Snowflake for our data analytics are its time travel capability, allowing easy data recovery, and its automatic optimization of partitioning and clustering."
"I am impressed with the product's data-sharing feature."
"It ensures the optimization of the application development while maintaining the user-friendly nature of its UI."
"The most important feature is the warehouse functionality."
"The most valuable feature of Snowflake Analytics is its performance."

"The performance has been good."
 

Cons

"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"The free features in Amplitude Analytics need enhancement."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced."
"Snowflake Analytics should probably have more built-in tools for master data management."
"One area that could benefit from enhancement is the user interface for more visual ESM features."

"The solution’s interface is good but it could be improved."
"The platform could work easier for AI implementation compared to one of its competitors."
"We haven't seen any areas that are lacking."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a little on the higher end, especially when considering scalability."
"The tool is quite expensive."
"The solution's pricing is affordable."

"The solution's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"It is not overly expensive. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being expensive."
