What do you like best about PostHog?

I personally like its Web Analytics and Product Analytics features, as they allow me to track users on my site and identify any issues they might encounter. Which results in overall better experience for my users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

It can be a bit overwhelming at first because it offers a lot of features, such as session replay and event flags. You’ll need some time to understand how everything works and what each feature does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My favorite part is the product analytics, which allows us to analyze how users engage with our platform so that we can enhance their experience. We can make better data-driven decisions with event-based tracking, session recordings, and feature flags all without the need for guesswork. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PostHog?

It is very easy to integrate posthog into the platform and see realtime analytics being captured. The dashboard is quite user friendly and easy to navigate around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

The api services could have higher rate limits so we can use analytics of the application for providing better features directly through the backend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to track user journeys and lifecycles using funnels and also able to understand which pages our user is spending most of his time on. We are also able to track points of user drop offs to make sure we can smoothen the experience to help them continue to use the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PostHog?

Putting a project on PostHog is very easy, they have nice SDKs for a wide variety of technologies. Their dashboard is relatively easy to use, while being quite powerfull Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

Some parts about how to use the SDKs (documentation) can be improved. I'm used to not committing a secret to a repository, so leaving my posthog key into the code felt weird. When I tried to make it optional, I had all sorts of problem, and the documentation wasn't very useful.

Also, the analytics part of the dashboard is very powerful, but can be a bit overwhelming for new users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Analytics are made very simple to implement, and managing feature flags or A/B testing is surprisingly easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PostHog?

The best thing about PostHog is its pricing—no other competitor comes close. The affordability, combined with its robust feature set, makes it an excellent choice for analytics.

Additionally, the YouTube channel has been incredibly helpful. It provided solutions to all the initial challenges I faced when getting started, making the onboarding process smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

The documentation could be clearer in some areas to improve the developer experience.

A feature to delete groups directly from the PostHog dashboard would reduce friction and minimize the need to reach out to support.

Increasing the number of groups would be a valuable enhancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are in the midst of launching our updated B2B website. The major issue with the previous version was the lack of analytics and no way to identify issues on an end-user's device.

PostHog’s session replay and analytics have been invaluable in helping us debug user issues efficiently. Additionally, its seamless integration with Sentry makes it a one-stop dashboard for monitoring and troubleshooting.

I’m confident that after our launch, PostHog will continue to provide valuable insights into user behavior and help us proactively address any challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PostHog?

I see posthog as a single place where we can get all user insights. It is a single replacement for multiple tools such as clarity, mixpanel, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

Its retention period in some modules goes as low as 1 month in free tier and 3 months in paid. I think that can catered for in the self hosting (which I havent tried up until now), but Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A goto tool for having all the product analytics at a single place. From deciding which custom user activity you want to track and creating custom dahsboards out of it to helping the business people to make custom notebooks, share with the concerned people and managing the features which should be available to what users, this was a great addition to the existing platforms which we are using.

What do you like best about PostHog?

Super generous free tier, very nice documentation and super easy to set up. There are loads of features and everything is in super in depth and well thought out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

Honestly, very little to complain about, maybe some of the stuff to do with experiments is a bit complex to understand when using it for the first time - stuff to do with statistics etc, but I guess that isn't really a limitation of posthog, more of just an education. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Seeing where users get confused, tracking conversions, doing ab test. Overall it just helps us create a better product which our users love Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PostHog?

Implementation/integration is easy and there are plenty of useful features, like removing test data and clutter, recordings, surveys etc. Never had to use customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostHog?

The UI is a bit heavy, there should be also more guidance for using the dashboard. It could be more product-team-friendly. So be aware of using it if you are not technical at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- Tracking what user do and values on my applcation

- Gathering useful data for bug squashing

- Giving insights about user behaviour Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
