## Amplitude Activation Reviews
  ### 1. Excellent Product Analytics with Strong Activation Insights

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Saumya G. | SEO Specialist, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2025

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

Amplitude makes it easy to understand user behavior and drive activation. I really like the cohort analysis and funnel reports, which show where users drop off and what actions lead to successful onboarding. The Segmentation and Retention analysis help identify patterns that impact activation and long-term engagement. The dashboards are clean, shareable, and great for both product and growth teams.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

Because it's such a powerful platform, there’s a steep learning curve initially. Some of the advanced reports can feel complex without proper training. The free plan is generous, but certain activation-focused features and integrations are limited unless you move to higher pricing tiers.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Amplitude helps me track activation metrics, identify bottlenecks in onboarding, and optimize the user journey. Instead of relying on guesswork, I can see data-backed insights about what actions drive long-term retention. This has improved how we design product experiences and has directly boosted our activation rates and customer engagement.

  ### 2. Quite a useful tool where you can very quickly find the answer to your question

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Maksym Y. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2023

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

For me, the most useful tools are funnels and segmentations.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

I absolutely dislike the data export process, and that was the main reason why I wanted to write a review. 
Why, when there are more than 10,000 rows in a CSV file, do I have to go to my email and wait for an uncertain amount of time for my file to be uploaded (can't this be done within Amplitude)? 
Additionally, why is there a tabulation added to each column when there are fewer than 10,000 rows? (I have better things to do than clean up the data)
Furthermore, in the funnel, I would like to see the ability to perform more than one grouping. For instance, let's say I want to group at the second step of the funnel, why do I need a breakdown at the first step?

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Amplitude helps in segmenting users based on specific criteria such as demographics or custom events.  It helps in identifying user segments that may be at risk of churn. 
Also useful to analyze the behavior of users who successfully convert or complete specific goals.

  ### 3. Audiences are easy to built with various rules that could be applied to the logic

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2023

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

Very easy to build segments, and the best thing is that these can be created from a chart during  exploration and analysis phase in the Amplitute analytics suite. In addition, the look back window is quite generous, and live segments can be synced with platforms at very high frequency if needed. Amplitude  supports sync with Google and Meta, which has been working quite well recently without any errors or bugs. Very easy to integrate with various destinations.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

There is a limit to the number of live sync audiences that can be pushed to buying platforms (unless subscription is upgraded to a more expensive level). The number of ad network destination supported could be improved – for example, main programmatic buying platforms are missing.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Amplitude Audiences  are helping with enhancing and refining targeting for paid media acquisition campaigns.

  ### 4. CDP features

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bruno B. | Social Adm, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2023

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

Easy to manage, easy to use and easy to export

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

Not very clear settings, definitions and hard documentation

Double click in users metrics and Get specific target

  ### 5. Comprehensive Analytics Tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2023

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

The easy-to-manage ability to create and analyze different cohorts based on multiple parameters and compare performance between them

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

I have found that it has been difficult for me to create custom properties (you have to understand how the formulas work)

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To compare the different audiences depending on factors such as the origin of the traffic or the classification by vertical of the company

  ### 6. Amplitude audiences usage

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Armando D. | Head of media & Growth, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2023

the variants and opportunities that amplitude provides for cohorts creation (audiences).

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

The few media partners or third-party data providers' connection amplitude has.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Unifying different client sources into one source, with events and properties from the user journey.

  ### 7. Robust data visualization

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

Real time analytics, powerful visualization, and best cohort creation

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

Not necessarily dislike, but Amplitude Might be complex for beginners hnfamiliar with analytics tool. They often do training to answer this problem tho so im good

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Offering detailed analytics and indights for data driven decision making

  ### 8. Very useful tool for data analytics and user behavior

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Maria Fernanda M. | BI Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

I like how easy it is to make charts, visualize the information with different segmentations, how you can create dashboards with the charts that you already have, we can forecast our data.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

I don't like that you cant make some conversions of events, like with specific properties, with different connections between the two events. And you cant make charts of this.

**Recommendations to others considering Amplitude Activation:**

I recommend Amplitude to make predictions of your data, see some recomendations of the user behavior

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With the predictions I can estimate what will be the behavior of the users for the next weeks. How will they convert and what can I change to increase the performance of the user behavior.

  ### 9. Amplitude: Intuitive, accesible and pleasant to the eye.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

I like many things about Amplitude. In general, I think is very intuitive, which allows not only analysts but product managers and engineers to extract insights and build charts without major efforts.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

I dislike, that sometimes is difficult to reproduce a report or dashboard, as when you create a copy of the report you have to rebuild the charts if you need to change user segments or timeframes. Second, the global filters in the dashboards don't always work, limiting the functionality. Finally, sometimes difficult to add someone new to change a dashboard as you have to grant individual access by the chart.

**Recommendations to others considering Amplitude Activation:**

Always ask yourself:
- What are the main questions the company is looking to answer with analytics? Is mainly related to the product, operations, geographics, etc.? 
Why? Because Amplitude is a very powerful Product Analytics tool, if your main focus is product then probably is the right tool for you (the best in the market to say the least).

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm solving mainly product analytics problems related to customer behavior analysis, which covers:
- Feature monitor
- Funnels and retention
- Experiments (A/B tests)

  ### 10. Experienced user

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Javier Y. | Senior Product Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

The tool is very potent; you can get a lot of insights from your users and query it easily and fast. It offers you many options to send your events (properties, etc..) and to get information from them. What I like most is how you can build the funnel of your users and see where you have more dropoff.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

I would highlight two points: the little flexibility to change the description of events/properties when making an error. That event cannot be erased, modified, etc. You should create a new one, and your dataset in production stays a little dirty. The second one would be the learning curve. It is not very easy to understand it initially, but It has good documentation to start with.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am not very familiar with Recommend, I just used it to play a little bit, but I am not currently using it in my daily job. I see potential to increase the knowledge of our customers and classify them into cohorts.

  ### 11. Awesome platform to track & learn about customer's behaviour.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Anjali S. | Associate Product Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

Simple and easy to track customer's path.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

- It would be great to get an automated report based on the 'start event' and 'end event' I entered. This report could consist of a chart + notes.
- Sometimes I feel that it is difficult to select the date range when creating a chart.

**Recommendations to others considering Amplitude Activation:**

It's a great platform to track & solve customer issues, product improvement & growth.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Solving a production bug:
-  By quickly being able to identify the customer's path via amplitude, it helps us to identify where exactly the issue is and what could be the issue

Product improvement:
- Amplitude helps in identifying the growth on a product improvement.

  ### 12. Invaluable tool for data parity across your Growth stack

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dave S. | Growth Marketing Manager, Lifecycle, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

Recommend helps us fill the gaps in our behavioral tracking that may have fallen through the cracks. If we track it in Amplitude, using Recommend means we can always have it downstream in our messaging platforms too.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

The pricepoint can be a bit restrictive for smaller companies -- I would consider a free tier to help ICs at those smaller startups build a business case to buy the feature in full using real data and use cases.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps us ensure that whatever we track in Amplitude is also making its way to other platforms -- specifically our messaging platform, which lacks the granularity that Amplitude gives us.

  ### 13. The tool paid for itself by improving our "other recommended products" in Cart placement.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Greg L. | Head of Product, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

We were part of the beta testing phase, so the level of support we got to make it work was incredible. Not sure that would happen for everyone, but the results have paid for themselfs.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

I don't dislike anything, as the tool is fantastic. However, the tool can be oversold to executives who think it's a plug-and-play "silver bullet" that will "figure everything out" In reality, while a powerful tool, it needs internal technical support and resources to make the most of it. You also need to know where to point it and have a well-defined goals.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Used it to recommend products our customers could add to their cart, based on their past behavior and what people whose behavior is similar to them also buy. It doubled the conversion on the pre-existing manal logic we had in place.

  ### 14. Amplitude is a very simple usage tool but very manual process

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

That is easy to track actions inside the platform on many levels and create visuals and dashboards. There are many types of visuals  and different time segmentations that facilitate to have fast insights.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

The process is very manual and not possible to automate. For example, In a case of multiple similar events where just one attribute is changed, it's not possible to automatize the creation of the visual or have a unique visual by filtering these events with a renamed column.  Also, the change of visualization redirects for saving a new template that is not always needed.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I mostly use Amplitude to track customers' actions on specific moments that can be sensitive for the user experience. 

About the benefits of Amplitude in general, I believe that amplitude permits identifying live differences of patterns that can be crucial for a fast reponsys.

  ### 15. easy to use,  realtime analytics

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Padraic R. | Product Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

The realtime nature of the data and the simple effective report building UI is a fantastic way to get adopted onto the platform.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

there can be some issues in developing and maintaining clean data when you implement the events yourself but overall that effort and control over the data we ingest provides clearer insight than some of the automatic "track everything" solutions

**Recommendations to others considering Amplitude Activation:**

Have your technical team fully onboard for the work and maintenance required for managing good data.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are easily syncing important cohorts to external systems within our company and easily able to analyze our most valuable users.

  ### 16. Amplitude makes understanding your customer base a breeze

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rishabh A. | Senior Business Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

Easy to understand UI , Plenty of features , end to end customer journey available. Overall very comprehensive set of features and visualizations available. Based on my experience with other similar products, Amplitude scores higher

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

The event pathfinder is not the most helpful of features, it does not provide an end to end tracking of user journey wrt to events and the number of steps is limited.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Amplitude helps solve retention related problems along with tracking segments of users who use our platform. The user path finder also comes in handy. Amplitude has cut down our analysis time significantly

  ### 17. It's easy to use and make data-driven decisions with Amplitude.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bohdan B. | Product Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

I like best the UI and UX design of it. When you spend most of your time in such a program, it's really important that everything is understandable works smoothly. There are also helpful tips which I like.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

I don't particularly appreciate when Amplitude loses some data about some events or user properties.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I need to know how my user behaves on my web funnel. What answers he gives on the quiz, what buttons he clicks, what pages he visits etc. It helps me to develop my web funnel and have more clients.

  ### 18. Amplitude is a good tool for product analytics to track events and user behaviour

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marc B. | Product Data Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

The possibility to perform funnel analysis for users, which gives you a quick and understandable way of knowing how users are using your application, to do this with a SQL query becomes very hard

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

Their pricing is expensive, which makes us have only 20% of data on Amplitude to lower the bill. We found some bugs while performing the analysis (although they provided support later).

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are performing product analysis, mapping the user experience. We also analyze AB tests to decide how to evolve the product to make it more appealing and more fulfilling for users.

  ### 19. Recommended for reporting

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daniela G. | Senior Travel Agent, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

I find it helpful because it is complete reporting and it is user-friendly. Unsure about all features but I use it with Jira. Unsure about other apps in the market

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

Unsure of all the limitations and tools.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With good reporting the benefits are multiple, better reporting helps to make better decisions

  ### 20. Amplitude for Analytics

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sartaj D. | Lead Product Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

1. Ease of setting up basic analyses
2. A very easy-to-use UI

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

Flexibility in terms of complex calculations. For eg. - multi-level funnel conversion

**Recommendations to others considering Amplitude Activation:**

Preferable to use Amplitude over its competitors for basic tracking and analyses. Easy to set up and simple UI.

If you want to get into more complex analyses and deep-dive one may need to look at other tools.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking of customers on the website - 
1. understanding the user journey
2. performance tracking of features developed on a page
3. funnel conversion

  ### 21. Versatile, Fast and Deep

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aramis F. | Monetization Experiments Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

Just for allowing the user to explore the events and user properties in a simple fashion, it is already a great tool. 
The speed that it processes data is unparallel. It gives you control over both simple and complex analyses.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

There are specific points to improve, but more in the sense of functionalities to add, like widgets to the dashboards.
From my use case I would like to have buttons to link to other pages. The note functionality doesn't allow for an easy link.
The chart types are still limited.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Amplitude is used regularly to monitor revenue, retention, and other critical parameters within the companies products. Besides that, it's also used to do add-hoc analysis.
Indeed, it gives productivity and agility to the teams.

  ### 22. Amplitude for daily data

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kasi V. | Business Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

The ease with which i can create charts. The URL level storing of charts, whether saved or temporary. The ease with which i can connect it to other platforms/applications.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

On hitting it using an API, some of the charts have a complex data structure (the retention charts for instance). 
Cleaning that data is a bit lengthy process, but can be done.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Daily numbers tracking.
Helps us understand the app performance at every event/step in the user's journery.
Very helpful for quick turnaround during version releases

  ### 23. Automation that empowers customization!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

I like the fact that with Recommend, I can cut out the hassle of worrying about if the cohorts and attributes, coupled with my desired events that I set up will actually come up with insights that are valuable and useful to my team.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

Sometimes it does get tricky with the way user attributes and event attributes interact (or interfere) with one another. Also, the way Amplitude calculates users does leave some room for improvement.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Currently I am solving drop off, in terms of what is the last meaningful paint that the users see: how can I redirect and re-engage users in a way so that I don't have to keep worrying about losing more users that I'm activating

  ### 24. Nice Analytics Tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

The funnel and Segmentation part is incredible; although the fast charts are not that flexible, you can get creative and get to do almost anything on the platform. I would recommend using Amplitude Query because the tool works so well. Also, the segmentation and the alerts part are good.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

I'm recently trying the part where Amplitude stores all the data on our data warehouse. I see some issues because sometimes we lose events, so be aware if you need that part crucially.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking daily metrics for our products and get insights to develop or improve new ones, I mostly use the funnel part but sometimes I need to use some more, It's a good tool and helps a lot.

  ### 25. Good automated solution for mainstream recommendation use cases

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Pilar S. | Product Analytics Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

Automated recommendation engine. It helps companies that may not be able to invest in having internal ML teams that build data products themselves. It's easy to use if you have Amplitude as a Product Analytics tool

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

It is not useful for use cases in which the content is unique. Therefore, I'd say that their solution is as generalistic as possible, such as AWS' solution or any other company doing recommendation engines. It's also expensive.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're currently not solving any problem with it because of what I have mentioned above: It is not useful for use cases in which the content is unique. If products are unique it doesn't become useful at all.

  ### 26. Awesome Analytics Platform

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

The ability to quickly pull analyses to better understand our customer behavior and journeys on our website, and perform deep dives in certain areas where relevant to make our website more efficient and conversion focused.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

I wish the graphs were more intuitive and would allow us to easily pull stats like year to date, last year to date, month to date, last year month to date, and allow easy ways to view year over year change.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have been able to identify areas that are not converting as much as we would like and make subsequent changes, then measure the impact of our actions. Gives us data to make better decisions.

  ### 27. Promises a lot, but doesn't meet the expectations to the fullest

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mental Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

The part about the segmentation at first doesn't catch your attention to the fullest but does the job when you know what you are doing.

The platform itself still requires plenty of your attention and doesn't act proactively.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

It is hard to use, the point of using it is unclear in some perspectives, and its'  powerful parts are not exploited now. 

In theory, you can make this very successful in case you are already in the know of what metric you want to increase and what it is powered by. You need to know these before you commence with this tool. 
This is a comment that is made compared to amplitude analytics. When combined with the engagement matrix feature, the possibilities are endless.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In terms of cohorts/segmentation I still believe it isn't pursued in the right way. It doesn't walk you through, doesn't give you adequate ideas about what you should be pursuing for.

  ### 28. Want to know how your product works? Use Amplitude

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

There are many ways to track but the flexibility of creating charts and switching between them and ofc, creating Cohorts just gives it an edge. Earlier we used to dig in and decipher things but now it's a few clicks away. Features like Link sharing, saving and Notebooks on top of that are like cherry on top.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

There is a learning curve, to be honest, onboarding on such a product is difficult but the interface that is shown for a first time user is overwhelming and confusing and the onboarding tooltips that you guys have are like way off. Apart from onboarding, Notebooks and Dashboards are good but have a scope for improvement. Would suggest checking out Notion, it does a great job there.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Dropoffs is the first thing, then A/B tests. Testing assumptions and me in particular testing if designs work the way we desire. Then keeping an eye on Retention and Engagement for both new and old products/features.

  ### 29. Cool Product Idea

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hunter B. | Senior Product Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

Overall, I like the idea of a product that actually goes through the data and recomends me actions. However, I have not used it so cannot speak ont this topic well

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

I can't find it in the dashboards. It sounds like it's something that would be required to implement on the data engineering side, which is a massive turn off for me

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm only now realising this is about a very specific part of amplitude, not all of amplitude on a whole.
I can't find Amplitude Recommend in the dashboard anywhere, so I can't say it's helped me all that much.

  ### 30. Great Data Automation

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kaysar R. | Data Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2022

**What do you like best about Amplitude Activation?**

Amplitude is a  great tool where you can easily create valuable dashboards based on your business development metrics, track any data found on events, and it's effortless to integrate with your system.

**What do you dislike about Amplitude Activation?**

Sometimes you might experience data lagging issues because of the weekly maintenance activities.

**What problems is Amplitude Activation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It makes it easier to make data-driven decisions
