The session replay overlap question is what I’m exploring here: is Fullstory worth using alongside a product analytics tool, or does it end up being redundant once a team has solid funnel and event tracking in place?
The split seems practical. Fullstory may still be worth it when teams need to query and analyze session behavior at scale, not just watch individual recordings.
It may feel redundant when native replay already gives enough context inside the analytics workflow. LogRocket overlaps heavily because replay is paired with performance, network, and error context. PostHog connects replay directly to events and funnels. Amplitude Analytics makes replay useful for debugging funnel drop-offs inside the same workflow.
I’d be especially interested in how teams kept reporting usable during migration, and what became hardest to trust first.

Some product analytics companies bundle replay in, which saves running two subscriptions. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 22 days ago - Author title: Writer ### Comment 2 In my view, we had the 'what' solid in Amplitude but kept guessing at the 'why' on one onboarding drop-off for months. Amplitude's funnel data told us precisely where users were dropping off, with hard numbers on what percentage bailed at that step. What we needed on top was the why, we had three competing theories, a confusing label, a slow-loading element, an unexpected permission prompt, and no way to confirm any of them. Session replay and event analytics answer different questions, which is worth knowing when you compare product analytics companies. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 23 days ago - Author title: Marketing Executive ### Comment 3 Not redundant, they answer different questions, and blurring them is how teams underuse both. Funnels and events tell you what happened and where people drop. Session replay tells you why, the rage-click, the confusing button, the thing no dashboard surfaces. The redundancy only becomes real if you buy the replay tool and nobody ever watches the sessions. Do you currently have the "what" but keep guessing at the "why"? If so it earns its seat. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 4 months ago ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 4
