Reviewer scorecard
“Simple to install but the data quality is limited. PostHog session replay is better for technical teams.”
“Built-in vectorizer modules mean less glue code. GraphQL API is intuitive. Self-hosting option is a huge plus.”
“Heatmaps and recordings reveal how users actually interact with designs. Essential for UX optimization.”
“PostHog does everything Hotjar does plus product analytics. Consolidating tools is smarter than paying for both.”
“Open source and self-hostable gives you an exit strategy. The module system is genuinely innovative.”
“Multi-modal vectors and generative search point to where databases are heading. Weaviate is building for that future.”
