Oh wow great to see you here :) We were talking with Freshpaint and have plans to integrate with Rudderstack too at some point. In fairness every company we talked to either used Segment or Google Tag Manager, or implemented the Amplitude SDK So those integrations might come first
Today my team decided to use RudderStack because it’s open source and cheaper than segment. I’m integrating GA UA API as a destination and it has been a chore, but I’m really keen to help support OSS products as much as I can.
That’s valid! At scale Segment gets quite expensive, especially if you’re a b2c company
We haven't thought of this. Would love to learn more about your use case! Feel free to email me at ferruccio at june dot so
Basically we collect analytics on behalf of our customers into segment. We want to provide access to these analytics to our customers, but just their slice of segment that contains their data. Each customer, of which we have a lot, wants their own slice of segment shown to them.
extremely interesting - i'm not sure we can build this, but there's another YC company that is building this: https://explo.co/
Yes we store the data from Segment as it's just a pipeline. Data is stored on AWS on a managed DB that is encrypted, always up to date with security patches and never leaves our infrastructure. If your data is extremely sensitive and this isn't enough you can always remove PII from your Segment settings That being said if you have any suggestions on things that we could do to be more safe I'm happy to learn
Can't you run this in top of customers data warehouse? Over 30pc of Segment customers have a data warehouse (the number is over 60-70pc for RudderStack). If you could build these of a customers data warehouse, it can be quite powerful and not face "another SaaS tool" hurdle in companies. Plus this can be much cheaper than you storing the data (and making 80pc margin on top). I think decoupling product analytics from…
The onboarding and go to market wouldn’t be this easy if we did this. Over the long run I agree though and we might starting doing this for bigger companies, but for small companies you just want something that is easy to get started with

I agree with you, most of the CDPs already ingest the data into data warehouses which can answer almost all these questions. We have a similar product and we already have Segment Warehouse integration and Rudderstack seems to be a good fit (maybe even better!) for us as well. Having said that, early stage startups usually don't have a data warehouse so I believe that June would probably work better for them.
Congrats! Love the idea of pre-built templates and leveraging exists data pipelines via Segment and the onboarding was smooth! I actually work at Segment and would love to share a couple things that might make it easier to understand the reports for Segment customers. Let me know if that will be helpful and can send them over.

Hey would love to chat :) Pinging you!
We actually also have a couple of questions around throwing error messages back to segment and your retry policies
