Amplitude Analytics turns event data into charts, cohorts, and dashboards that answer product questions without SQL. It runs 17 chart types over your behavioral data, groups users into reusable cohorts, and surfaces anomalies as they happen, so product teams find what changed, who it affected, and what to ship next. Use Analytics when you need to quantify behavior across many users: conversion, retention, engagement, cohort comparison. If you need to watch a single user's session unfold to understand why they behaved that way, use [Session Replay](https://amplitude.com/docs/session-replay) instead. **Outcome:** [Answer product questions](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/charts/find-the-right-chart) Pick from 17 chart types to investigate funnels, retention, journeys, and more. **Outcome:** [Reuse the segments that matter](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/behavioral-cohorts) Save a group of users once, then apply it across charts, experiments, and integrations. **Outcome:** [Keep your team aligned](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/dashboard-create) Bring related charts into one dashboard the team can review at a glance. **Outcome:** [Collaborate on findings](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/workspace) Group charts, cohorts, and notebooks in shared spaces so the right people can act on them. **Outcome:** [Catch unexpected shifts early](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/anomaly-forecast) Surface anomalies automatically and trace each one back to the change that caused it. **Outcome:** [Report on accounts, not just users](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/account-level-reporting) Roll usage and revenue up to the company, team, or workspace for B2B analysis. ## Chart types Every analytical question maps to a chart type. Start with [Find the right chart](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/charts/find-the-right-chart) if you're not sure where to begin, or jump straight to one of the most-used chart types below. **Outcome:** [Track behavior over time](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/charts/event-segmentation/event-segmentation-build) Use Event Segmentation to see how often users trigger an action and break results down by any property. **Outcome:** [Find where users drop off](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/charts/funnel-analysis/funnel-analysis-build) Use Funnel Analysis to measure conversion across a sequence of steps and pinpoint the leak. **Outcome:** [Measure who comes back](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/charts/retention-analysis/retention-analysis-build) Use Retention Analysis to see how well your product keeps users coming back over days, weeks, or months. **Outcome:** [See the paths users take](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/charts/journeys/journeys-understand-paths) Use Journeys to map what users do before and after a key event in your product. **Outcome:** [Spot your power features](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/charts/engagement-matrix/engagement-matrix-discover) Use the Engagement Matrix to compare adoption and frequency side by side and find what hooks users. **Outcome:** [Decide which variant won](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/charts/experiment-results/experiment-results-dig-deeper) Use Experiment Results to evaluate A/B tests with statistical rigor and shared metric definitions.

Build one once, then reuse it across charts and dashboards to track how a segment performs over time. - [Create a cohort](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/create-cohorts) from a chart, a user list, or a property definition. - [Compare cohorts](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/compare-cohorts) to measure how two or more segments differ on any metric. - [Track cohort changes](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/track-cohort-changes) to watch segments grow or shrink over time. ## Dashboards Dashboards bring multiple charts into one view. Use them to monitor product health, share recurring reports, or run a weekly team review. - [Create a dashboard](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/dashboard-create) and add charts from anywhere in your workspace. - [Set dashboard preferences](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/dashboard-preferences) for filters, time ranges, and comparisons. - [Subscribe to a dashboard](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/dashboard-subscribe) to get scheduled snapshots in email or Slack. ## Share and collaborate Analytics is more useful when your whole team can act on it. Organize work in spaces, capture findings in notebooks, and push charts into the tools your team already uses. - [Collaborate with spaces](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/collaborate-with-spaces) to group related charts, cohorts, and dashboards. - [Document findings in notebooks](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/notebooks) that blend charts, text, and images. - [Integrate with Slack](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/integrate-slack), [Microsoft Teams](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/integrate-microsoft-teams), [Discord](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/integrate-discord), or [Miro](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/integrate-miro) to share charts where conversations happen. - [Share externally](https://amplitude.com/docs/analytics/share-external) with clients or stakeholders who don't have an Amplitude seat. ## Start with common questions Use these workflows when you need a reliable starting point for product analysis. - [Analyze feature adoption](https://amplitude.com/docs/get-started/analyze-feature-adoption) to understand which features users discover and return to. - [Understand conversion rate](https://amplitude.com/docs/get-started/understand-conversion-rate) to measure movement through a key workflow. - [Analyze acquisition channels](https://amplitude.com/docs/get-started/analyze-acquisition-channels) to compare which sources bring valuable users. - [Review user activity](https://amplitude.com/docs/get-started/understand-user-activity) to investigate behavior for a single user or account. ## Keep analysis reusable Turn one-off analysis into shared assets that teams can use repeatedly. - Save important charts to dashboards so teams monitor the same metrics. - Use cohorts to make segments consistent across charts, experiments, and activation workflows. - Add context in notebooks so stakeholders understand the question, method, and outcome. - Organize related work in spaces to keep charts, cohorts, dashboards, and notebooks together. ### [Getting Started with Amplitude Analytics](https://academy.amplitude.com/path/getting-started-with-amplitude-analytics-learning-path) Learn the most fundamental features of Amplitude Analytics, including cohorts.
