Compatibility

Personal Opinion I think that Segment.io is a really helpful

tool to integrate all of your analytic tools without having to actually put them into your application.

Some tools require that you have an app key to use. If you wish to include a certain API, Segment.io will ask you for the key and your data will be sent to that API.
