Segment Overview
What is Segment?
Segment is a customer data management and analytics solution that helps you make sense of customer data coming from multiple various sources. The app integrates with hundreds of other apps, pulling data from these apps into a single platform. It also pulls data from your websites as well as from devices such as mobiles, tablets, browsers, smartwatches, iBeacons, point-of-sale registers, and TVs. You can access all of your data in Segment and automate it to a schematized SQL database using Amazon Redshift to analyze how your product is being used, identify trends, understand revenue, and evaluate campaign performance. Segment stores a copy of your raw data so you can access it anytime. With Segment you can export your data to any of your existing, internal systems and apps. You can also replay your historical data into new apps and tools that you have subscribed to or are trialling. Segment's live stream feature lets you view events in real-time such as when someone makes a purchase on your site or app. You can also use the Segment plug-in to integrate Segment with your ecommerce platform.Segment Overview

Segment - The Data Layer to Have
Segment solves the problem of add script once. Enable quickly.
Data flows and needs a pipe to steer it in the right direction. Segment makes this easy.
Create a data science team in seconds and connect to a wide and vast number of tools and connections from Adwords to Facebook all the way through to iOS and Android. This covers many bases.
A reliable tool for event tracking and syncronization
In our organization Segment is mostly used to track events from the website backend. There are other feature rich alternatives for frontend tracking but server-side tracking is not a priority for them.
Segment really saves a lot of software, devops and data engineer hours alike by reliable continuous data delivery.
Good tool for startups
Overall, it helps you to start really fast. We at www.quiznext.in use segment to collect data from our app and send it to warehouse, firebase, fb etc.
Great software to remove the burden of countless API integrations
Saved a ton of dev time
Segment is a great tool, if you can afford it then you should start using it right now.
Always happy to recommend segment ! A great tool.

Segment - The Data Layer to Have
Pros
Segment have built a best in class data layer and data management tool.
The tool is easy to set up and creating destinations and understanding sources is simple.
Add the code for Web, Mobile or a data warehouse. Then enable product and marketing teams to enable and disable marketing and product tools easily.
The new personas feature is also incredibly powerful.
Make collecting analytics .track and .page and .identify easy.
Cons
Segment does make data easy and because of the quality of the tool it does come at a cost. The benefit is it does scale with you because the price plan works on MTUs. But it really depends on the size of your business.
Beware not to over enable and connect too much if you are not using it. This will add un-necessary load which can impact mobile page speed.

Pros
- Intuitive UI.
- Event tester on the UI.
- Several client libraries.
- You can sync even your backdata, e.g. when setting up a new warehouse.
- Pricing is based on users not events.
Cons
- Custom schedule for synchronisation or event validation is only available in higher packages.
- Some integrations just don't support a moderately sophisticated setup. E.g. if you don't want 1 million API calls a day you should construct specific Segment calls to update Salesforce leads.
Good tool for startups
Overall, it helps you to start really fast. We at www.quiznext.in use segment to collect data from our app and send it to warehouse, firebase, fb etc.
Pros
Easy setup, Easier to collect data and send to warehouse. Integration with other tools is easy.
Cons
Not all integrations are seemless. Many integrations require client side app installation, which just reduces the code a bit. Once you start attracting decent users, it turns out to be expensive and need to look for alternative tools.
Great software to remove the burden of countless API integrations
Saved a ton of dev time
Pros
It takes the burden off of our own teams to manage a slew of API integrations. This saves us a ton in developer costs in time, and makes it very easy to vet new tools for our analytics and marketing stacks.
Cons
Like any abstraction layer, not everything is plug-and-play. As you start to use more integrations, this becomes more complicated in it's own right, and you sometimes need to regress back to a standard API integration.
Segment is a great tool, if you can afford it then you should start using it right now.
Always happy to recommend segment ! A great tool.
Pros
The last tool to integrate with various apps. Write once and integrate infinitely.
Time saving is worthless and make your app load much faster.
Cons
Pricing is not small businesses friendly ;(
Would be great if we can write and view integrations comments from other users.
Please share future integration pipeline.
