My interesting experience with Segment
What do you like best about the product?
The connections product that allows us to integrate with multiple 3rd party services. It allows us to centralize all of our analytics between all our products into one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Segment is missing some key 3rd party integrations which means we have to leverage Functions which is defeating the process of the ease of use of Segment. The onboarding process for Personas is superfluous and not needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Segment is solving the problem of integrating new tools without having to do the heavy lift of integrating it in our products. The benefits we've realized is the power of Personas via the use of email drip campaigns and funnel targeting.

Simple to set up; great documentation
What do you like best about the product?
1) Super simple to set up and then make the API calls.
2) Very impressed that they also have a Rust crate. Documentation for using it was great because of the sample code.
3) Debugger is very responsive to events.

What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation around the rust crate is a lot less comprehensive than the documentation for analytics.js. Wish there was more documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly piping app events to Amplitude for data analysis.
Also realized we could use this for customer.io and sending transactional emails/ drip email campaigns.

Control your data
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to manage all the data in one place, test connections with different destinations and collect website analytics without installing tens of plug-ins on the website.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't a whole lot I can say I dislike about Segment. Any product can improve but I don't think there is anything I dislike per se.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collecting product analytics and sending it to different tools. Segment enabled us to do it without installing code snippets from each tool directly on the website.
Great experience for marketers
What do you like best about the product?
I love the audience-building feature. Being able to create custom audiences to push out to all paid social and display channels has helped keep our team aligned and working towards a consistent audience strategy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be quite technical and requires a good bit of development resources. With the right team and strategy though, it can be super powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been able to keep our acquisition and engagement teams aligned on a consistent audience targeting strategy. With IOS 14 making pixel retargeting less effective, we've seen great success pushing 1st party audiences to channels via segment. It makes it incredibly easy to have audiences automatically sent to channels so you're not manually uploading customer lists.
CDP is definitely the future of Data management, governance and tools enablement!
What do you like best about the product?
I think the features are well thought of for growth marketers like me who have less time to integrate new tools, Segment makes onboarding new tools and feeding data to these tools almost seamless.
The practices and the concept of JSON tracking method are easy to follow and set a standard that the industry can follow and build their tools/microservices around Segment.

What do you dislike about the product?
Duplication is one of the major challenges that many organisations face, I think the existing concept of calculating MTUs, it could be applied to deduplicate the data before it reaches the Destinations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Faster lead time in onboarding new tools
- Standardized tracking method across all of the individual digital properties
- Synchronous data present in all tools
As many as the features offer.

Great tool to distribute data
What do you like best about the product?
Segment offers a lot of integrations that make the distribution of analytics data a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price is a bit on the high side. We exceeded the 10,000 MTU (monthly tracked users) very quickly. The next tier is a custom one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Segment to distribute data across platforms (Redshift and Google Analytics).
Comprehensive toolset for customer tracking tech
What do you like best about the product?
The breadth of options for integration with applications is great. In my experience, there hasn't been any frustration given that Segment provides SDKs and APIs for many languages. One of the key points for me was the ability to create Source and Destination Functions which allowed me to code a custom data treatment before the events reached the downstream systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a Data pro, I would like to have a wider set of features to create a monitoring dashboard ensuring that the data flow and integrity are of an acceptable standard for the organization. There out-of-the-box cover most of the needs, but I would like to go a bit beyond that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Essentially, being able to manage multiple sources and multiple destinations while keeping an organized, uniformized track plan. In organizations where there are many and ever new data sources and destinations, having a visual yet comprehensive tool such as Segment, helps a lot.
Changes the way marketing teams work
What do you like best about the product?
I love that marketers can have control over where data is going and where data is coming from and create their own Picasso of customer data to enrich decisions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there could be more templates for tracking specs made available to lower-tier customers. I also think they should provide more examples of snippets for very common tools. E.g. I work on analytics with no dedicated devs support, so being able to have more of an idea of what needs to be done would speed it up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. missing data. benefit = better decisions
2. revenue information = I can measure incrementally better and understand which channels are driving goals that affecting key revenues metrics.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
1. Be clear what you want to track and don't track everything
2. Allow time for devs/eng to read documentation before even implementing
3. Understand what destinations/sources you will use and if they are ready to use out of box

Best Data Platform for all your needs
What do you like best about the product?
I am a Product Manager and Segment makes it extremely easy for nontechnical folks to access the platform and do what they need. A lot of times, the debugging tool or their new Protocols tool is useful for me to see how data flows from one platform to another.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that comes to mind here is trying to improve the health of the data across all the different sites. Naming conventions can be problematic and having a solution built into Segment would be ideal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Data Tracking
- Naming Event, Screen, Identity, & Page calls

Fantastic platform
What do you like best about the product?
The GA/GA4 destination, easy to setup and guarantees standardisation across different domains with clean data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI, especially with GA4 mapping. This needs fixing
