Mixpanel
Product Analytics & Robust Event Tracking
About Mixpanel
Mixpanel is a powerful product analytics platform founded in 2009 that helps companies understand user behavior, measure product engagement, and drive growth through data-driven insights. Serving over 30,000 companies including Uber, Netflix, Samsung, and Expedia, Mixpanel tracks user interactions across web and mobile applications to answer critical product questions. Unlike traditional analytics that focus on page views, Mixpanel tracks events and user actions, providing granular insight into how users actually engage with products. The platform offers event tracking, funnel analysis to identify conversion bottlenecks, retention analysis to measure user return rates, user segmentation to understand different cohorts, and A/B testing to validate product changes. Mixpanel unique approach combines retroactive data analysis (query events you did not predefine), user profiles that track individual journeys, and automated insights that surface anomalies and trends. With native SDKs for iOS, Android, JavaScript, and server-side languages, Mixpanel integrates seamlessly into products to capture detailed behavioral data without extensive engineering effort.
