v20.04

Countly 20.04 includes over 200+ new features, optimizations, security tightening. We are one release stronger in our commitment to an all-in-one product analytics experience that's as secure as it gets!

You can read more about 20.04 release in our blog post. If you'd like to view a detailed list of all changes please see here.

For Countly Server upgrade instructions, please see here.

Highlights for Enterprise Edition

• Performance Monitoring - Keep track of your applications' backend API requests, perform code level profiling with your own custom performance metrics and measure your application start and page load times. Find out performance issues within your application and fix them for a better customer experience.

• Cohorts - A fresh and powerful new design for the cohorts UI. Explore changes in your cohorts in the overview section, dive into individual cohort details to visualize cohort changes over time & explore common metrics of users in a cohort. Compare in app behavior of customers in different cohorts to understand and serve them better.

• Formulas - Session duration and users in a cohort can now be used as parameters in your formulas. Furthermore, each parameter in your formulas can now be filtered using default/custom user properties and event segments for sharper fine tuning & detailed analysis.

• Funnels & Cohorts & A/B Testing - Using the new OR operator you can create funnels, cohorts and A/B testing goals that have a larger scope. For instance, first step of a funnel can now be constructed using 3 separate custom events, or a single cohort can group users based on whether they triggered an event or the other.

• Dashboards - Your dashboards are now a lot more powerful thanks to our new and improved widgets. Display multiple cohorts on a bar chart, visualize changes over time for multiple cohorts, use the number widget for your formulas, compare & contrast previous period data in your drill & formulas widgets.

Highlights for Community and Enterprise Editions

• Crashes & Errors - We have made quite a few optimizations in crash analytics including two new, very important metrics in overview: Crash free users and crash free sessions. These metrics will let you stay on top of your overall customer experience and address problems before they start to impact your business.

• Data Populator - We have added templating concept to the data populator. It comes with 5 default templates for banking, healthcare, navigation, e-commerce & gaming and you can create your own templates to populate data that is relevant for your use case.

• Ratings & Feedback - We have added a few extra configuration options for your feedback widgets. Add comment and Contact me via e-mail options can now be toggled for each widget. You can also choose from 3 different widget trigger button sizes to find the perfect fit for your application.

• Views - Your page or screen view names are not always easy to understand, especially for non-technical people looking at the reports. Using the display name configuration option in Analytics → Views, you can now customize names for all your views.

• MAU, WAU and DAU - Monthly, weekly and daily active user visualization is now available under Analytics → Users. MAU, WAU and DAU is also displayed on a 30 day time series graph so that you can stay on top of your active user trends.

• User Profiles - Select the default or custom user properties that are the most important for you and customize how you view your user profiles list.

Highlights for Community and Enterprise Editions

• Two Factor Authentication - Add an extra layer of protection to your dashboard login by enabling the 2FA plugin. You can enforce two factor authentication to all users or you can leave it to your users to configure two factor authentication on demand.

• Navigation - Your new sidebar has feature grouping in order to make it easier to find what you are looking for. General management related menu items such as application, user and plugin management have a new home at the top bar.

• Graph notes 2.0 - Add private, shared or public notes to your time series graphs. Multiple notes on the same date are stacked for you to easily view each one. Dashboard widgets show notes from all apps so that you'll never miss an important remark from your team.

• Top events in events overview - Visualise your 24-hour and 30-day top events in events overview section. Top five events by their occurrence counts will give you a quick overview of which actions your customers are performing the most.
