Countly is not (yet) world's best mobile analytics platform about countly-server HOT 30 CLOSED

thanks for the link, we previously used mixpanel and really liked this feature:
https://mixpanel.com/notifications/

are there any plugins to send automated campaigns like "hey you downloaded but never signed up" with countly? any tools you can recommend?

from countly-server.

How would you like comments about feature suggestions to be posted? Unfortunately without core functionality of custom events and reports, it is unlikely that anyone is going to fully pick up on count.ly when there is no timescale or roadmap of when features are likely to be integrated.

from countly-server.

Thanks for the heads up! We're going to publish our roadmap very soon in our wiki page, and event mechanism is likely the very first big feature we'll be implementing.

from countly-server.

The event mechanism is the home run feature you guys really need to complete the package.

from countly-server.

I could not agree more. Events would be a great feature to really round this out. If you need more help let me know.

from countly-server.

besides Events, what about segmentation and funnel (like Mixpanel)

from countly-server.

I'm willing to discuss the real requirement for segmentation and funnels in a mobile application. We haven't put them in our roadmap, but if there's a big demand, why not?

Thanks for heads up, Walter.

from countly-server.

Currently, I am using Mixpanel for our project. But we are planning to replace it because it's only free for limited number of log.
I like the way how flexible Mixpanel use to log an Event. You just name the event, and send any properties you want to them.
Using Segmentation an Funnel, you can filter by properties and find what you want.
The main point here is , when you log , you just log everything you get, and don't need to think about how to use them.
When you want to look into data, just think of what properties show the trend, then grep it.
I think the Mixpanel way is very programmer's logic. Most user just need some common predefined events, like session, duration, etc.
For advanced program, segmentation and funnels are great plus.

You can have a look at cube(http://square.github.com/cube/) and crossfilter(http://square.github.com/crossfilter/) from Square Inc. I think the way crossfilter use is a better one to do segmentation. User don't need to have an idea first, then filter property to see the result. User just play with several properties by dragging the range, and get new idea when they see the result. It's like a data explorer.

One of the biggest demands for segmentation and funneling in our situation is to analyse the freemium market. The jackpot in terms of mobile app analytics is to find those illusive 'whales' and then do detailed analysis on them. e.g. create a segment of people that have made an in-app purchase, then further segment based on the total value.
Easiest example would be segment: "find users where sum of IAP(event) value(event parameter) > 0" then display table or graph of value vs frequency

from countly-server.

Events would be good when available.

from countly-server.

Events are now available in version 12.08 :) Download it from Sourceforge (http://sf.net/projects/countly).

from countly-server.

didn't find the event tracking feature in demo. hasn't updated to demo?

from countly-server.

It'll be updated in 1-2 days.

from countly-server.

Events are added to the demo: http://count.ly/dashboard#/analytics/events

from countly-server.

no demo event data it it?
Click Event tab on the left, doesn't show anything.

from countly-server.

I can see event data and segment information. What's your browser and OS?

You need to clean your browser cache (or Shift + F5). Underscore.js has been updated and pick function does not exist in the older version.

from countly-server.

it's ok after cleaning cache.

How to upgrade from 12.07 to 12.08?

from countly-server.

empty ubuntu install using bash countly.install.sh
will get error from chrome console.

Your API IP is configured to be http://172.17.12.245 and this machine is not responding. Change countly/frontend/express/public/javascripts/countly/countly.config.js file to be like below;

countlyCommon.READ_API_URL = "http://211.147.15.242/o";

This will fix your issue. The previous errors you have posted are just missing files.

from countly-server.

I see. the IP problem is due to virtual machine only has intranet address. It's ok now.

why there is missing files? do I need to add them manually? shouldn't they be included in the install package?

from countly-server.

Missing files are localization files and one css file that I forgot to remove from dashboard html. No need to add any file, this will not affect any operation.

from countly-server.

any action need to take for upgrading 12.07 to 12.08? beside downloading the code.

from countly-server.

After extracting the new package to the existing countly directory you have to execute bin/countly.upgrade.sh. There is also an upgrade guide.

from countly-server.

this report is kinda old - still relevant? I would like to use it for an app.

from countly-server.

David, this is basically a "fun Github issue" - showing that we are not still number one, but getting there as we conquer the world one app at a time.

Lately G2 has stated that Countly is #4 - see report here:

https://www.g2crowd.com/categories/mobile-app-analytics

from countly-server.

After 4 years, we have done a lot of things:

• Countly is now used by 4 of 10 world's biggest brands: MS, Samsung, Verizon and AT&T.
• It's been used by more than 13.000 apps worldwide
• We not only have mobile, but web and desktop analytics as well.
• We are featured by Gartner and several other independent consultancy companies
• The Countly Analytics and Marketing SDK has become increasingly popular, tracking more than 1,200,000,000 installed applications worldwide, from Android to iOS to Windows Phone.
• Countly has become the third most used push notifications SDK in the world (according to SafeDK)
• Countly has made a huge leap forward to become the seventh most used Android analytics SDK, just after such massive players as Google, Amazon and Flurry (according to Mobbo)
• Our Github repo has been starred more than 2950 times, and forked more than 1000 times, making Countly one of most active open source analytics projects.

We are very proud of what we have done till now. Countly is quickly becoming the defacto standard for many companies when it comes to analytics, but it's just the beginning.

Watch us grow!
