Many a time, the choosing of a product analytics vendor can be quite an ordeal because there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The technical factors such as tech stack compatibility and integrations with the product have to be balanced with the financial health of the business. You need to find the sweet spot between where you need to go and how much money you actually have to get there.

A company is entitled to use session recording or session replaying as long as their marketing and analytics needs require so. However, as enticing the recording of everything the user does at all times can be, even within the existing regulations, there is a high chance that doing so will quickly push the data towards a non-compliant realm.

Facebook recently announced that it will effectively discontinue Facebook Analytics on June 30, 2021. The announcement was not particularly informative and was limited to pointing out ways of retaining the tool’s users by means of diverting business to other features that Facebook already offers.

Crypto trading and exchange apps have surged in recent years as a direct consequence of the exponential growth in the number and market capitalization of cryptocurrencies.

If each product is a world in its own, each industry in which that product -or service, for that matter- is deployed, is a universe. A seemingly chaotic universe full of data coming from every direction and angle that you, the product manager, need to catch, analyze, and funnel into your every day. If this does not sound easy, it is because it is not!

We dare you to go to your mobile device and search for a health and wellness app already installed. Truth is, even if you did not actually download it, your operating system most likely came with at least one app like that. Now, you might have chosen to delete such an app, in which case, we lost the dare.
