Saurav Bhattacharjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Business Analyst at Arcteryx
Empowers teams to build visualization-rich reports and make faster decisions using historical user behavior data
I think areas for Amplitude's improvement include data retention. The maximum data I have worked with, the clickstream data on Amplitude, is two years, whereas we rely on Tableau for historical data of at least two years. I am not sure whether it was my organization paying for lower retention or not, but having historical data would take away the reliance on Tableau. Secondly, reconciling clickstream data with Databricks or other AWS systems could help analysts spend less time verifying the accuracy of both sources, which would be really helpful. Lastly, a more focused approach on error logs is necessary. I have found that, at least with Intuit, we used Splunk more for error logs than Amplitude. Although Amplitude had the capability, developers seemed to prefer Splunk, so if that could be improved, it would be good.
Bhargavi Doddi - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager, Engineering at Fox Corporation
Centralized journeys have streamlined multi-channel customer engagement and personalization
Overall, my experience with Braze has been very positive. If I had to mention areas for improvement, I would say the number of campaigns, canvas segments, and channel growth can become challenging to manage and organize. I would also like to see more flexibility around reporting and analytics, especially being able to easily combine cross-channel data and customize reports without relying on additional data from outside of Braze or data platform teams. Braze has been improving its reporting capabilities, and new reporting and dashboard features are definitely moving in the right direction. Additionally, making complex journeys easier to troubleshoot and maintain would be beneficial. When large canvases have multiple branches and conditions, having strong visibility into why a customer took a particular path would ease things for engineering and marketing teams. There is also a limitation regarding making the platform easier to manage at an enterprise scale, especially with a growing number of campaigns since Braze does not have features such as folders for organization. Regarding improvements, Braze's technical support is excellent, but I see areas where the experience could be smoother. On integration, Braze has a strong set of pre-built integrations and APIs; however, for some complex enterprise systems, integration can require engineering effort. More out-of-the-box connectors and simpler configurations would definitely help. From a UI perspective, while the platform is powerful, navigating and troubleshooting can take time with a large number of campaigns and complex canvases. Apart from that, I find the support extremely helpful overall, so I would not say there are major gaps, just opportunities for making this already strong platform easier to manage at scale. One area I would like to see improvement in is the visibility and troubleshooting experience. When running large-scale campaigns across multiple channels, more detailed end-to-end visibility on user interactions would be helpful, such as tracking when a particular user enters or exits a canvas or whether an issue occurs. I would also like to see ongoing improvements in reporting, particularly making it easier to connect campaign performance to our broader business metrics without extra engineering work. As Braze adds more AI capabilities, I see an opportunity to leverage AI not just for content creation but also for troubleshooting, identifying campaign issues, and explaining performance trends. This would save a significant amount of time for both the marketing and engineering teams.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amplitude has provided almost instant value to our dev team when they are deploying new trackable events and seeing how those events line up before they go out to production."
"I loved using Amplitude because it allowed me to dive deep into product usage and analyze different customer segments."
"Amplitude impacts my organization positively as it serves as a central point that allows everyone within the organization to speak the same language of data."
"Having accessible data which can be easily customized and manipulated by even business stakeholders with less technical knowledge is one of the best things."
"Amplitude has provided a return on investment, helping us improve campaign targeting and raising personalization accuracy by almost twenty-five percent, while saving us a lot of time since I can see the analysis as quickly as possible in the dashboard, resulting in significant time and money saved."
"Amplitude is a perfect product that will always fulfill all the data-related needs that your company has, and I would suggest anyone to go for it."
"Other areas like cohort analysis, defining key events, and user properties were also well-suited for Amplitude. It is an easy tool to use."
"Thanks to the Amplitude dashboard, we could access all the proper data, and regardless of which team or which part, all teams' decision-making became based on the data extracted by Amplitude, which contributed to a positive data-driven cultural movement."
"We went from about three percent engagement on average per channel to around eight to ten percent overall CTR."
"Thanks to Braze, I could make proper CRM scenarios and campaigns where everyone can directly understand the circumstance just from the campaign structures."
"Braze has allowed us to reduce the time of creation and setup by half for campaign creation, for at least one-off campaigns and automated workflows, which is really great."
"Braze has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to save money, as we saved around $800,000 by switching from Salesforce Marketing Cloud to Braze while also making it easier to see our customer journeys and for our producers to set things up."
"Braze can be improved, but honestly, I feel it's a pretty perfect tool."
"Braze has had a positive impact on my organization by making our CRM and lifecycle marketing much more targeted and efficient."
"Braze has positively impacted my organization by directly helping to increase LTV and retention and by helping with the independence of the marketing team."
"Now that I am very versed in Braze, I would definitely lean towards Braze as my preferred tool for its design capabilities, personalization features, ease of use, A/B testing, intelligent timing, and real-time engagement testing."
 

Cons

"I choose nine because, lately, when I was using it, the more people wanted to improve, the more complex things got—not in a good way, but confusing."
"The free features in Amplitude Analytics need enhancement."
"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"Amplitude is almost perfect, but there are some charts I cannot create due to the large data structure."
"Amplitude could be improved by being cheaper."
"We attempted to use their screen recording and session recording capabilities as a replacement for a previous vendor, and we found that the functionality they offered did not stack up to the previous vendor."
"Regarding how Amplitude can be improved, I think that dashboards and charts are ephemeral; people often create dashboards but rarely revisit them, so while a handful of dashboards might survive, the real value lies in the insight derived from them."
"Braze can be improved from a reporting standpoint to include AI, where we are able to integrate it to provide us with real-time insights."
"Braze could improve the use of AI agents in the tool, as we currently have AI only in a few features such as copywriting, but we cannot build journeys with an AI agent supporting the process."
"Given the higher price than other tools, we would expect in that case the tool to be very fluent, one hundred percent perfect, with no bugs and no latency, and that is not always the case."
"I am not sure if this is a natural characteristic of CRM tools, but onboarding Braze into an organization requires significantly more effort."
"I think Braze can be improved by delivering new AI tools, and it could also provide options where we could see how the contract is progressing each month without needing to ask the sales person."
"Braze could improve the data analysis capabilities."
"If I had to mention areas for improvement, I would say the number of campaigns, canvas segments, and channel growth can become challenging to manage and organize."
"My biggest complaint for the most part is how complicated it tends to be with Ticketmaster specifically."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
