Handle Any Scenario

Retroactive data with clicks, not code
Anyone (not just engineers) can create event definitions in Heap with a point-and-click UI. Add new events as new questions come up, and get answers in seconds.

Ultimate flexibility
Events, Segments, and Properties are created in Heap, not in your codebase. They live in a layer above the autocaptured data, so you can change, combine, and delete them without losing data or needing to wait for new data.

A trustworthy, clean dataset
Since definitions are created without code, they can be modified and updated at any time. With Heap, you can ensure your data set is up-to-date, neatly named, and trusted by everyone as your product grows.

It really takes a lot of pressure off of me. With Heap, I don’t have to have everything perfect. There might be questions after the fact that I’ll still be able to answer. It’s all in Heap. It's got my back.
