The user interface when building tracking plans or tracking plan libraries is a bit clunky and awkward to work with, as well as some of the navigation in the Segment UI.
Segment allows us to track events and event properties as well as user properties that meaningfully describe what our users are doing on our sites and thoroughly detail our customers and their changing makeup over time. Moreover, Segment allows us to clean out any noise that may come in from various systems and only send what we want to send where we want to send it (and be able to view the status of sent data). This has sped up our insight creation and made insights very reliable with current data synced on a schedule. Lots of hours have been saved by setting up Segment to do what we want it to.
