A Comprehensive Analytics Tool for Product Teams
What do you like best about the product?
The first thing is that it's easy to implement with my JavaScript application. The best features are the session replay and dashboard view. We can customize our dashboard and save it as well. Another great feature is session replay—when a client reports an issue, we can easily review the session, respond, and fix the problem. We can also customize it using APIs. This morning, I raised a ticket, and by the afternoon, they answered my questions and even provided customization support.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main disadvantage is that they frequently release updates. Sometimes these updates are for bug fixes, which means we have to implement the new updates regularly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have maininly use it for two thing Dashboard and session reply. Dashboard is for reporting and session reply is for client's issue while testing like how this bug is raised and it's we have to fix. and it's too easy with session replyfunctionality.
I can honestly say using posthog for both for mobile and web apps has been a wonderful experience!
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that it's open source and the features it gives you out of the box without any paywall is superb. My top 3 features are product analytics, session replay and feature flags.
Integrating posthog into Nextjs and React Native via their SDKs is very very straightforward

What do you dislike about the product?
The UI for the analytics dashboard. Wish it was a bit more cleaner / minimalistic. I think the colour scheme could be a lot simpler. Esapecially for the charts which have a mix of red, blue, orange which is an odd blend in my eyes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking key acativity of users in my apps. Being to create debug events to ensure the app is working correctly for our users. This has been espeically useful during early stages of development.
In addition session replay for web apps has been a real time saver for debugging strange UI flows

Fully packaged suite of behavioural analytics tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that it contains everything I need to conduct good analysis and that everything works very well together.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside may be that it's heatmap functionality is not as good, or as thorough, as some alternatives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can see how users are using our internal application and what parts they use most, what parts they use least, what process they follow and how we can improve our front-end experience and make internal processes more effective.
Great open source analytics tool with self-hosted option
What do you like best about the product?
We wanted heatmaps and session recordings, bu we also needed to retain custody over our data, PostHog checked all the boxes. They make self-hosting easy. Integrating with our site was easy too.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features that are not available on the self-hosted version. For example if you want to monitoring multiple domains on one dashboard, then you'll need to pay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to see user behavior on a dashboard through sessions replay and heatmaps. We also needed to have custody over our data.
Tonnes of features executed excellently!
What do you like best about the product?
I mostly use Posthog for Feature Flag implementation and A/B testing, which it does very well.
Compared to other offering the technical implementation was easy (in NextJS / Python), and the reporting features are great too!

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes documentation topics can be duplicated with some articles being more up-to-date than others, which can lead to some confusion when implementing.

The Ultimate Open-Source Analytics Tool for Product Teams
What do you like best about the product?
"When our application encountered bugs that we, as developers, couldn’t reproduce, my team and I found it easy to integrate PostHog for data fetching. In production, we frequently use PostHog due to its extensive feature set. It’s easy to maintain the web app, and the chart functionality makes data analysis simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
PostHog, while powerful, has a few drawbacks. Self-hosting can be resource-intensive and challenging to scale for large projects. Its extensive features may lead to a steep learning curve, and customization can be complex. Additionally, it offers fewer out-of-the-box integrations and the user interface may feel less polished compared to competitors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our main problem was that the client reported bugs, but we couldn’t reproduce them in our system. The main benefit now is that we can easily track and resolve these bugs using session replay.
Amazing tool. Analytics, feature flags, session replay and more in one.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's very customisable, it has great docs and clean UI that is easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Package size, it does increase the JS bundle size considerably
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
General product analytics, with lots included out of the box. Integrates really well with Next.js and can be set to 'cookieless' mode easily.
Posthog is great to get all the insights for my website
What do you like best about the product?
PostHog's User Interface and User Expereince is top notch!
I am able to generate and susbscribe to dashboards and reports in just few clicks.

What do you dislike about the product?
Posthog's community support can improve a bit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've created about 15-20 different reports in my platform but I'm surprised to see I can do the same with some clicks on Posthog.
Invaluable Free Teir
What do you like best about the product?
I love PostHog's session replays and analytics platform. The session replays are a really neat feature in general but more importantly, very useful to see what users do when errors occur. I have not implemented some of the other features yet but I am looking forward to the days when I implement the AB testing, feature flags or surveys. They AB testing and feature flags appear straightforward to integrate and the surveys look pretty and intuitive with frictionless integration as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I added PostHog to a SvelteKit website and the docs were quick and simple. However, I couldnt get events to send from development mode / local site but they worked immediately when deployed to production. I was kind of frustrated because I felt like the docs were leaving something out. Specific to Svelte, I think the docs also should have mentioned throwing the dev flag around the setup function. Non Specific to Svelte, I would have liked to see better documentation on the default options / flags for the setup function. I had to look at the source code to see what the defaults were for masking inputs. Would be great to see it documented on the types itself too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our dev team has not done a great job of implementing E2E tests or even any sort of test suites on our API. We have a product that is having errors that dont happen in our happy path and the implementors did not account for unhappy paths. PostHog was a quick bandaid to see what the heck was going on for the users and what info they put in. It would be easier to log the API calls of course but it is nice to see how the users interact with the site.
Signed up for feature flags, stayed for the rest
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that PostHog has a lot of features built in. Initially I needed feature flags, but have also been working with the analytics and session replay features - which are really nice.
It's been very easy to get the Javascript SDK installed in my codebase and to create feature flags via the PostHog app. I also like how easy it was to identify users and submit person properties via the Javascript SDK without needing to implement a server side piece.
I'm currently still on the free account so I haven't tried out email customer support yet but the support forum has been great to have for reference.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Cohorts vs groups is a bit confusing.
- Getting feature flags working with Cohorts took some trial and error.
- The documentation can be a bit tricky to navigate but it is extensive and searchable so that helps.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need feature flags in our application but don't want to spend time developing a solution ourselves. PostHog allows for very easy setup and more importantly management of feature flags and their status across our user base.
The session replay and analytics are also very helpful in analyzing usage of our app, as we're currently focused on growing our feature set, so understanding what's being used and how makes a huge difference.
