This is a great platform to see competitior data. I appreciate how you can go into the subcategories of the main segments and also filter by subcategories when looking into segment data. I did see that they have added new features on consumer insights, I haven't needed to use that function yet but I do think it is super useful just by playing around in it, and was a great idea to add to the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program is very slow and laggy so it's not that great in that aspect. I also wish there was a better way for how you download data to compare segments/brands / products YoY. It gets confusing having a "main" and a "comparison" for each line in the report. I wish it was more similar to SPINS where it showed YA performance in the columns Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use SL almost daily. Great market data, including competitive. This helps us gain clear perspective on where our brand sits from a market share standpoint on the Amazon platform.
From a product standpoint, the tool provides our NPD teams with valuable data on what products are trending upwards, helping our team identify key features to include/exclude based on overall value.
Search term data is great as it gives our demand gen team very specific information to leverage as we build our our own campaings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm not a fan of the SL taxonomy. If there was one area they could really improve it woudl be this. We've been able to navigate it with their teams, but there's been several instances where key competitive brands/products don't show up in the expected categories, and therefore at times our data will be skewed. Obviously, creating segments can help offset this, but it's definitely a challenge to work around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that stackline is very user friendly and easy to understand. I can look at many different metrics on one page or zoom into specifics and get down to the grain. The team is also super friendly and helpful, and always respond to questions quickly! I use stackline weekly to check market share/category data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only issue I have with Stackline is that the different application live on different pages, and it can get confusing switching between beacon and atlas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Stackline is a very user firendly tool that provides insights into the ecommerce world for your brands, market and competitors. The tool is very easy to use and intuitive with easy access to key metrics such as market share, sales ($ and units), traffic, etc. The data is mostly directional but has been useful for us to make business decisions. Lastly, their customer support is also very friendly and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The taxonomy has been a challenge for us since the way they categorize certain products are not aligned to the way we look at the business. Filtering and segmentation has proved to be a challenge at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Stackline is the best platform I have worked so far. It gets consistent data, a very reliable information about 1P/3P world and also multiple options to combine data and extract the best strategy to boost my sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

New products are usually captured effortlessly, requiring no oversight from our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Our team finds custom product lists invaluable, and the Stackline team excels at creating an extensive library of SKUs. They also provide thorough analysis whenever business questions come up. The tool receives continuous updates, and any necessary changes to SKU classifications are promptly addressed. This tool has enabled us to answer many business questions effectively.

The self service analytics that enables market share for amazon and other retailers with easy to navigate UX. Allows our team to better make decisions and understand our business. Stackline is easy to learn and integrates well within our process, making it a weekly if not daily go to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some nuances around market grouping which may allow items that do not fit the segment to regularly appear in the group, which makes it somewhat timeconsuming to audit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is great. It is easy to build, view and download reports. Segments are easy to create and reuse. There is almost nothing I want out of Stackline's reporting tools that I am unable to get. It is especially valuable for the data and insights that are not available anywhere else (such as category and competitor data in Atlas). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
-I need easier segment catgorizations/folders. Right now every segment created by anyone with the organization is contained in a single shared space. I need folders by business/brand at a minimum. Ideally, there would be a more robust categorization system, but I definitely don't want/need to see reports for any other brands.
-1P data does not always match Vendor Central, and that can be alarming
-3P data can often be very different than what is in Seller Central, and that is compounded by the inclusion of "rogue" 3P. I would love a way to see 1P, inside 3P and outside 3P so that I can better separate out sales and understand my business performance. This might be unclear, so I'm happy to talk about it more with someone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Stackline offers a comprehensive and user-friendly platform for analysing Amazon marketplace data. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing for efficient data exploration and analysis and making it a valuable asset in extracting insights to support our decisions.
One of the standout features of Stackline is its ability to provide accurate data for our competition, enabling us to make informed decisions and respond quickly to market trends. This is very useful as data includes sellout as well as as spend, traffic and conversion metrics, allowing us to effectively benchmark our performance against competition and make informed strategic decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The lack of API documentation allowing us to easily integrate Stackline data with all other reports. Also this would enable us easier analysis due that we are interested in the number of items sold and an additional step of mapping how many items per ASIN is required (for our market each unit reported by Stackline may contain one or more items, depending on the ASIN). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is no shortage of data you can tap into with Stackline tools. Their dashboards make it easy to identify market opportunities, see where competition is gaining share, and manage ad campaigns and ad investment. Their tools are powerful and the managed service team is TOP NOTCH. I've worked with so many Amazon ad agencies, and none come even close to comparing to Stackline. I moved my organization from Flywheel (Ascential) to Stackline and I couldn't be happier with that decision. The team is sharp, attentive, detail oriented, organized and so kind. I use Stackline Becaon and Atlas all day every day and I'm still surprised at the number of insights I'm able to uncover from their software. They have a 1 month integration / on-boarding, then it took about 5 months to transition our 700 advertised SKUs to their structure and it was painless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Billing is a little complicated to sort out. They don't have a streamlined pricing model, so it can be difficult to manage/forecast agency cost because nothing is a cut and clear price structure. Their sales team doesn't communicate well with their account managers, and sell pricing and features that are disconnected from reality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being able to see the trends and patterns of a product or a category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The lag in in reporting(There is a delay of 1-2 weeks).
Itr would be great to get a notification when ever we lose buybox on an ASIN Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
