Excellent, highly customizable analytical tool
What do you like best about the product?
Heap is incredibly user friendly! As someone who'd used Google Analytics for years, I was a VERY quick convert to Heap as it was more intuitive and far more customizable. It quickly became absolutely indispensable as an analytical tool for our marketing, product, and data teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's easy to get information overload with Heap, and get disorganized quickly. I highly recommend developing a naming convention, information architecture, and distinguishing read and write users from the start. We did not do that and now have many duplicate events/segments, old events, and general disorganization. Luckily, it's very easy to follow definitions, but it's messier than I'd like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Heap for all website analytics - it's our primary data source for conversion funnels and AB tests. Plus we use it for countless ad hoc analysis.

Heap is perfect for tracking my marketing strategies.
What do you like best about the product?
Heap is extremely easy to follow. Once you create a report, it is shareable to your entire time to keep tabs on!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes setting up the report can't be finicky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Heap to keep a record of the traffic being driven from social posts to our online platform. This has been very beneficial to see what posts are going to bring people in, and inevitably create more sales.
Insightful and Necessary
What do you like best about the product?
I like the accuracy in capturing data that just isn't available with Google Analytics
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to be able to view multiple reports at the same time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I personally am using Heap to monitor the performance of partnerships where UTM tracking is present and have learned how to optimize campaigns based on this
Heap is a current generation analytics tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Heap is great because it allows us to measure many categories of things (like clicks) using retroactive analysis. Basically that means that it sends data about every single click up to Heap from the browser, so that you can retroactively query "did anyone do _____?" (or more accurately, "when someone did ____ what were all the circumstances of those pageviews, sessions, and people") and it can tell you.
It's also good just as a replacement for dreadful apps like google analytics - whose overly complex UI has not gotten better in the past 18 years or so that it's been around. It does all the things you probably expect it to but requires way less screwing around to get it done.

What do you dislike about the product?
* Data governance rules can't be enforced (and aren't shown as dropdowns, rather just as suggestions) on renamed events so it's hard to move into a more organized world. This isn't a stumbling block at all for new users since you should turn on Data Governance from the beginning now that it exists - so don't let this bug you. I'm just hoping someone from Heap sees this and fixes it :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pretty much all the analytics functions, we do with Heap. It's a way better use of our money than paying for GA would have been.
Excellent tool for data analysis

It is the most complete and easy-to-use analysis platform, it is easy to define events and analyze the data, it offers a large amount of data about what is happening on your website, it is also easy to create charts, it also has the ability to create reports and dashboards very easily, it allows me to know what type of browser and device they are using and the ability to understand the behavior of individual users, it also offers really good data to make decisions for your company.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far I can't find something that I can't like about this product, I'm satisfied with everything it offers me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this tool we can quickly understand any change in the site, it allows me to define each and every one of the behaviors on the website, it has allowed us to analyze the behavior of our traffic in multiple sessions, it has also provided us with much more granular analysis about it. behavior of our users, also helps me understand which campaigns are working effectively, greatly helps our organization to be more productive.

Customer journey and funnel insights
Our source of truth
What do you like best about the product?
you can create your own events and segments, and parse data almost any way you want
the granularity you get in heap is unparalleled. for instance, in google analytics, your mostly seeing last click data and and that heavily favors google advertising, but in heap, you can choose if you want to filter by initial referrer etc, much easier and this gives you a better picture of how your marketing channels are actually performing.
We also use VWO for site AB testing and you can port those tests into heap to get test results that way, which has been huge for us

What do you dislike about the product?
its kind of hard to come into the platform and start working, there are a lot of events and segments in there and its hard to know if you are looking at the right thing. a lot of this is from other people creating definitions, historical definitions, and porting in shopify data which requires one to understand each definition's meaning in shopify. with a few uses you get used to it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- conversion rate and where it can be improved at various steps of the funnel
- whether a marketing channel is actually contributing to revenue...platforms always report higher numbers than is actually true and incremental, and heap is a more conservative source of truth
- better analytics for AB testing on site, we use VWO and data is limited and not as strong there...heap makes its easy to analyze these test results
- for marketing channels that dont have as much tracking capability, we use UTM parameters and heap to track performance

Recommendations to others considering the product:
use it!! i think its really great
Heap allows all things data (tracking, insights, data hygiene) to be crowd sourced effectively
What do you like best about the product?
I love that developers aren't required to implement and update tracking and tags. Really love that you verify events and reports that are built. Love that my team can create insights without requiring help from analytics.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their automated/triggered reports seems to be buggy. They send on time, but not with the correct data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's enabled our site operations and product management team to apply data insights to real-time questions and decisions on where to focus optimization efforts.
A great product analytics tool helping you to make the right decisions
What do you like best about the product?
Heap is very simple to use and allows you to uncover a ton of insights. We used to use Google Analytics before, and this is incomparable. I particularly enjoy the fact that Heap captures everything by default and you can dig into it after, making it particularly useful when you want to dig into a topic you were not covering before to already have some rich data from clicks to pageviews and more. It really made the difference when we were trying to understand some blockers in our customer experience and has had a direct impact on our bottom line. It is also quite easy to scale across the company, we rapidly scaled to 20+ users on it even for users with limited previous data exposure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to say on that front, honestly really pleased with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding what your users are doing on the website and where they are going is unvaluable. We uncovered a lot of pain points / drop-offs and understood also how users were proceeding through our flows which is sometimes different from what you have initially designed. We have graphs on our top performance metrics but also do some more granular analyses on customer actions.
