PostHog Reviews & Product Details

It's easy to start with the snippet It's easy to integrate into Django backend It replaces what I have done previously with a hodgepodge of Google Tags/Analytics and HotJar.

Not really a downside, but something I would value: As a solo founder in a new company, I'm doing all the tech and everything else myself. PostHog has a MAD amount of features. I've really valued how they are documented, but it would be helpful to me to be guided as to where best to focus my attention based on the stage of the business. I've gone through your 'quick start' check list, but I feel this could be improved so that it covers more of the tooling (I don't think surveys or actions are in it?) and is potentially more clearly gated. I remember glacing at once piece of guidance that I know can't find where you suggested for early stage companies focussing on 2 or 3 core default insights and 'ignoring' the rest. That I thought was very helpful.

Proving (or disproving) that registered users are actually using the service, and which features they are using.

The replay session of the posthog is something I like the most

I prety much like ever thing about posthog.

With posthog I am always a step ahead to make the right product decision and debug the problem even before customer reaches us (i.e. the organisation)

I like posthog becuase the software is very cool and it allows you to see what users are doing

I do not like the limited ability to show analytics like google analytics has. It would be cool if both of these platforms could be in one.

It is allowing me to see how effective my designs are at funneling users into our signup pipeline.

- Simpler UI/UX than GA4 - Extensive and up-do-date documentation - Many SDKs available - Many "ready-to-use" Dashboard snippets available

- Auto-capture tend to capture a bit too much events

PostHog is the perfect alternative to GA4, offering a simpler UI/UX and tons of useful features/insights

PostHog is simplicity elevated to the next level. It's like having a fancy sports car with an easy-to-use GPS. What stands out the most is its intuitive event tracking. I don't need a Ph.D. in data science to understand it. Just tell it what you want to track, and it does the rest. The retention analysis is another gem. I can instantly see who's sticking around and who's drifting away. Plus, it's open-source, which is nice.

Well, if I have to nitpick, sometimes the documentation can feel occasionally confusing. It'd be great if they could simplify it a bit more. As of now, the breakdowns can be daily, weekly, monthly, etc. But ifthe natural usage frequency within my product is, say, 2 weeks, unfortunately I can't tell posthog that. Having an ability to use custom duration for breakdowns on charts would be just amazing.

Digital Analytics: PostHog helps me see what's happening on my website or app. It's like looking through a window into the digital world. I can track every click, every page view, and every action users take. This helps me know what's working and what's not. Product Analytics: PostHog tells me how people are using my product. I can see the paths they take, where they get stuck, and where they drop off. Session Replay: PostHog lets me watch what users do on my site or app. It's like having a video recording of their visits. This helps me understand their pain points and make improvements to the UX of the app.

It's very simple to use. You can quickly create and share any insights/dashboards you create. It provides great value for product analytics, such as tracking onboarding funnels.

Not really. We need to move from on-prem to cloud, where we think that most of the current bugs we have will be resolved.

Presenting onboarding funnels and understanding how customers move through our product. We're very data-centric and PostHog helps us gather and present that data easily.

The platform never stood in the way of getting to the finish-line. Rather it helped find a flaw in the way i structured my events. Super intuitve!

It was a bit hard to figure out what the power-ups were. But since Good Tape is a sister-company of Zetland, I was able to copy a lot of the setup from there.

Making events easily accessable in an understandable interface.

SESSION RECORDINGS holy moly we use this religiously. It is so incredible to be able to see what our users are doing, immediately following their session.

The sheer amount of features can sometimes be overwhelming.

Using session data to understand where people are dropping off on our website, looking at rage clicks to understand what buttons need assistance, and overall being able to see user experiences have been critical to us as a startup trying to understand Product Market Fit.

Generous free starter tier Session replay

Nothing so far, our dev was a bit confused during onboarding since events didn't appear immediately.

Help us understand the product usage and website traffice

PostHog is easy to install and provides a large number of features, such as heatmaps and session recording, out of the box. Support is responsive and informative. Previously I was paying for heat map and session recording features - but it all comes with PostHog for free.

There are minimal video tutorials, but I understand why - it's hard to keep them updated. Some of the default reports in the dashboard are not hugely intuitive.

PostHog lets me see how my customers are using my software in near real time with the session recording features. I have used this to observe and subsequently fix bugs that customers have been dealing with but not reporting.

Posthog is so easy to use, simple set-up and easy to build dashboards for reporting metrics, great navigation as well

If you have a lot of data feeding into Posthog trying to find something specific can be difficult, but overall no real issues.

We did not want to build our own dashboard to access our app metrics, Posthog was a straight out of the box, Set-up very easy and saved us months of work. I used to pull alot of metrics manually, but PostHog has saved us months of work.

I'm a developer and the implementation was pretty straightforward. The dashboard is clean, friendly, and easy to use

I dislike that there's no way to have different environments. The closest to that is creating projects for each environment, but the navigation between projects is not as easy as I would want because when you have a lot of projects you need to start searching for the one that you need. It would be nice to have a way of grouping projects by some tags or have a favorite section.

Understanding the user's behavior. We also use a lot the feature flags. The ability to create dashboards with important metrics and insights

Ease of doing everything , combined with suite of autogenerated and ready to use insights are what make posthog the best product for me

Honestly, cant find much, maybe more templates

Error debugging

I really like the ability to auto-capture the DOM views - and to get the tracking for users that are on our site. It's easy to know MAUs without any DB querying!

They recently turned oft the ability to self-host. This is a bit frustrating because we used to be able to directly query the data from their datastore. Now we have to export. It's not a big issue.

It's basically solving everything that we would get from FullStory, but it doesn't suck and it's cheap!

It's very intuitive, free for a very reasonable load, and super easy to navigate and set up. I use it for all my businesses and wouldn't recommend anything else.

Maybe adding in a tutorial would be helpful!

Which part of my funnel is making people fall through the cracks and easily optimizing them.
