Why should I use PostHog?
While visiting SF recently, I saw @PostHog ads everywhere. Most analytics platforms (like Posthog, @Amplitude, @Mixpanel) seem to have pretty much the same feature sets. So let's get real. What is are the real advantages of Posthog versus others like Amplitude? Nicer/easier to use? Or something deeper than that?
A little story:
At Product Hunt, we used @Asana. I knew about @Linear. But I didn't feel that switching was worth the cost to migrate the company. Linear and Asana features were largely the same. We finally switched to Linear a couple months ago. And sure enough, I didn't find any new killer features in Linear. But, Linear is just so much nicer to use. So much faster and more pleasant. The result is that a lot of @Slack chaos has shifted over to Linear without me (the CTO) having to beg and hassle folks to use a task tracker more religiously.
Which product analytic tools do you recommend to track user behavior?
As per free tools, I recommend Posthog - Mixpanel. Both of these provide insights into your product usage and user behavior to help you make data-driven decisions and improve your products.
đź’ŞPosthog is targeted to roles closer to web development or software related backround.
đź’ŞMixpanel is targeted to less technical backrounds

What is the best Product Analytics tool for B2B software?
What product analytics tools like Amplitude, Mixpanel or Posthog did you try out? Which ones worked best?
Most importantly, which team was best at replying and helping to support requests? These tools never work 100% so there is always some custom thing that needs to be done. Hence customer satisfaction is very important I think.
I tried:
- Mixpanel: No support, good software
- Posthog: No support, good software, killer feature session recordings
- June.so: No support, very difficult to customize, good design
