"The coolest event analytics platform!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Snowplow?

SA's analytics help in collecting granular event-level data from platforms which includes web and mobile platforms and it helps to analyse that data with structured data stores to support advanced data analytics. SA being an open source platform helped us to explore the wide range of analytics tools available in the market. We set it up on our AWS account and had complete ownership and control over the event data. Events included classroom attendance data, assignments completed, assigned, courses taken up etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snowplow?

It is a tool coming from a startup and thus it is bound to have limitations when you are looking at it from an enterprise business problem point of view. There are things that are part of our project that we can't accomplish through SA and have to look elsewhere but it is an honest and a well attempted tool with amazing potential and scale.

"Best event analytics platform"
4/5
What do you like best about Snowplow?

The scalability and full control of collected event data. As a Snowplow partner we enable our customers to gain full control of their data collection and store massive amounts of behavioral event data in their own data warehouse for further analysis. Unlike analytics platforms as GA(360) or Adobe Analytics, Snowplow is able to scale to the volume and variety of data with keeping the size and data strategies companies who work with Snowplow in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snowplow?

Snowplow can be complex in setup. It can be hard to make the right decisions for collector, enrichment, etc based on requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complete control over the data/pipeline and the ability to model the data in any way you see fit. The support team is fantastic, responsive, and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snowplow?

No true drawbacks. Moving from Segment or Mixpanel you might have to adjust to the structure in which event data is transmitted, but that's to be expected when transitioning to almost any analytics platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Snowplow as user tracking component"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Snowplow?

I've used Snowplows trackers in a few projects and really liked it. Mostly used the Javascript tracker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snowplow?

Customers sometimes view Snowplow as only through the components they provide when we at Solita are also capable of creating e.g. collectors with different languages and tools. I would be great if Snowplow could offer this FAQ type of thing for re-assuring that there are also other valid ways to use Snowplow OS components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
