How Countly’s All-In-One Product Analytics Approach Can Benefit Your Business

Being inundated with tools and platforms to track, analyze, and optimize your products can be extremely overwhelming, and most of the time, you just get lost in the process of managing all the tools, without really achieving anything actionable. While having access to specialized tools can be beneficial, managing multiple analytics solutions can become counterproductive.

Why An All-in-one Approach?

When creating Countly (over 10 years ago), we had one simple premise: The ownership and control of the data collected via a product analytics platform should stay with the creator of the app or service. This was not a well-understood concept back then, and even now, we don’t think this goes too much beyond a regulation-driven, forced awareness. Our belief has always been that data ownership and control is not just about privacy or security but also the critical role data plays in crafting experiences for users. Your product analytics data, and the tooling you use on top of it to create better experiences for your users should be at the core of your business.

For this reason, we’ve always thought of Countly as a platform rather than just “mobile analytics” or “web analytics”. A product analytics platform for us has analytics and data at the core but provides connected functionality all around. The platform approach is a double win; It eliminates the need to try and connect ten different tools together to put your data into action and keeps your data in a single place in your control that minimizes any privacy, security, and compliance risk.

What Makes Countly An All-In-One Product Analytics Platform?

Today, Countly has grown into a platform that has advanced tracking and data modeling capabilities supported by a wide set of SDKs, push notifications, crash and performance tracking, surveys, remote configuration & A/B testing, among many other supporting tools and features. Countly’s capabilities are designed to work together seamlessly. For example, you can target surveys to specific user cohorts, automatically send push notifications to users who didn’t complete a process, and remotely alter the look and behavior of an app for select users, all within Countly.

Final Though

Quoting our CEO’s answer when asked about Countly’s future plans:

“Our ambition is to make Countly the platform you absolutely need if you have a digital product. That’s a big ambition and is an ever evolving one, but we are behind our words and working on an exciting set of new capabilities centered around the concept of crafting user experiences. We’re calling it the Journey Engine, and the idea is to bring everything Countly has to (and will) offer into a single engine to let our customers build data driven and personalized experiences for their users in an intuitive and accessible way.”
