Benefits for Data Teams

The Mirror mode ensures that any updates in the warehouse data are automatically reflected in Mixpanel, maintaining data accuracy and reducing the need for manual checks.
Ease of Setup: Setting up Mixpanel involves creating a source connection and pointing to the right table, enabling users to go from raw data to dashboards in 15 minutes.
Performance and Participation
No Analysis Limitations: Users can perform any product analytics tasks with warehouse data in Mixpanel, including complex queries and segmentations.
Enhanced Query Performance: Mixpanel's purpose-built database, Arb, executes queries faster and more cost-effectively than direct warehouse queries, reducing costs for customers.
Inclusive Access:Mixpanel's pricing model is not based on seats or queries, encouraging broader access to data without increasing warehouse compute costs.
Data Security
Mixpanel is SOC2, ISO27001, and ISO27701 certified, ensuring data safety through continuous monitoring, encryption, and independent audits.
