"A product Manager's best friend"
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

The data is grouped by user, so you can easily track user behavior.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

Very often, the data makes no sens when tracking a Funnel like the onboarding, etc... It gets messy and it's hard to understand. Their marketing automation solution does not work well : emails get sent sometimes randomly, the triggers fail to be detected also...

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

For the privous mobile apps I managed.

"Feature-rich, but stagnant and lacking polish"
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

Cohort analysis tools are best in class, funnel tools are satisfactory, easy setup.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

UI is heavily biased towards recently checked events; hard to export and re-import data; impossible to modify data in-place. While it hits all the basic checkmarks, competitors seem to be outpacing them on adding newer features.

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Used for conversion optimization within our company and for basic business intelligence. Allows non-engineers to explore data in an ad-hoc manner.

"Does a lot but not quite everything we need"
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

Mixpanel is a really good tool if you want to know user specific interaction or know overall event specific interaction. We are able to use it for AB testing by creating specific reports based on the events, clicks, pages we are testing. It has some really good reporting if you know the specific events and interactions you are looking for.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

There is not a way to see the most common path users are taking to a specific event. There have been several time where we wanted to know what people were doing before an error occurred and we could not get that information.

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

We want to know what people are doing and see how that changes after we implement a feature.

"Great for Intraday Statistics, Not Intuitive"
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

My primary use for Mixpanel was intraday statistics for eCommerce, for which Mixpanel did provide accurate and up-to-date information. However, report generation was not necessarily intuitive and it was not easy to generate free-standing reports that would automatically be updated or emailed daily. In short, great tool to get quick snapshots but not as useful as a complete data analytics suite.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

Not very easy to generate reports, save report views, or automatically email reports or dashboards daily.

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Great for viewing data on a minute-by-minute basis within a given day, something that is not readily available through Google Analytics, but not as intuitive or easy to use.

"Clear, simple, easy to navigate."
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

The fact that you can track basically every action/event that occurs on the platform, as well as easily analyze notification stats.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

A few bugs have occurred here and there, but not too many.

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're using Mixpanel to help increase platform interaction, as well as enhancing our email marketing.

"Good for developers, not for typical business user"
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

Event tracking is great. It is what the tool was made for. Has great tools for developers to test there code to ensure the events are working. This is far better them what google analytics toolset for developers.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

So many events can be tracked it is difficult to know what you are looking at. I wish thee was a better way to display the detailed definition of each event. Some times you come to the wrong conclusion because you don't fully understand the event you are looking at. Also requires sec to add a new event each time you want to measure some thing new.

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting better more detailed event tracking and better data to make decisions on.

"Solid analytics tool, but not very intuitive"
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

There is more functionality than you might expect and once you know how to use it properly, you can analyze your data in a lot of different ways.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

UI is not very intuitive and there is no live chat support to get quick answers so you have to break your workflow to figure things out. Also, I'm not sure if this is due to our data structure, but null values do not show in mixpanel, which greatly limits what can be done with the tool.

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mixpanel makes it easier for us to analyze and visualize product usage data across users, which help us spot trends and make more informed decisions.

"Mixpanel fallout charts could be a bit better."
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

I like the variety of reporting options.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

Adding events and properties is not intuitive. We should be able to add fall outs to a dashboard. We should not have a limitation on what we want to look at in a fallout (max is 10)

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm looking into completion rates and NPS. I do like the breakdown feature.

"Good, but developer dependant"
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

- Simple layout, people profiles are great

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

- Not simple for a developer to setup properly. Definitely more our fault than anything, but this just sits in our backlog forever

- Understanding our users behaviour, habits, click throughs

"Great tool but costly"
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

All the features are quite strong. Funnel management is the most frequently used one. With the push/ email integration, it has also become a marketing tool now.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

it's quite costly. One needs to be doubly sure before taking it up and doing the integration.

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

mostly building a data pipeline with events dumping and coming up with insights.

"Super easy funnels for anyone"
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

I love love love the funnel reporting view. It's the major reason I prefer it for some things to Google Analytics.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

It's sometimes hard to segment data correctly. Its strength is to demonstrate progression; it's not for everyone's needs.

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Progression through the funnel.

"Not the most intuitive platform"
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

I like bookmarking funnels to revisit easily and frequently.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

The tool is not intuitive. There's a ton of properties in there that don't exist anymore from testing and legacy products/pages and if you're not super intimate with the tool and language, it's almost impossible to use it without a power user walking you through every step. It's also not obvious when to use insights vs a funnel, etc.

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving product marketing questions with Mixpanel. Trying to compare experiences with our site to determine the best user experience for our users.

What do you like best about Mixpanel?

-The UI is fairly intuitive and slick looking -The support folks have been very friendly over email -You feel like you're able to make decision, especially for funnel based analysis

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

-It is an expensive product -Support is done over email, and doesn't always feel like you have your answers solved -The accuracy of the data, whether or not it's due to the instrumentation often doesn't reflect what you think the data should be based on your db data -Unless you are 100% certain it is set up properly, the data doesn't engender trust

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

-Track usage of various features within our product -Measure funnel performance during onboarding and other product flows

"Easy to build quick reports."
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

Ease of use: once configured, Mixpnal is easy to use and understand. User view. you can access a detailed view of each user's activity.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

13 different products, sometimes it's hard to find the appropriate product for a given need. Not possible to measure an evolution on more than 90 days. Very difficult to build long-term reports and dashboards (the most flexible option, JQL, requires to learn a specific programming language...)

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly analyzing funnels.

"Mixpanel for CS"
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

I like the level of detail we can collect on our customers - it allows us to gather insights and monitor how successful customers are using our app, so we can enable new customers with best practices. The graphs are customizable & allow you to view your data over time for analysis.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

Not entirely user friendly in the setup if you do not have a developer background. I'd like more tools to work with predictive behavior - we need to be able to forecast churn and expansion.

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Mixpanel to collect metrics on our customers feature usage and analyze in-app behavior. We have been able to gain more tangible insights into adoption and areas for improvement.

"Good for stats, bad for reliable, 100% sure notifications"
What do you like best about Mixpanel?

Events and people tracking works well. Notification features are fun and quite easy to use.

What do you dislike about Mixpanel?

Because of the way it works, tracking is not 100% reliable, so nobody should use Mixpanel's notifications actions system to send critical notifications to their users.

What problems is Mixpanel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Analytics, measuring values like churn. Testing changes on out website and their effectiveness.
