# What is UserFlux? UserFlux is a powerful platform that enables you to do product analytics, marketing automation, serve recommendations to your users and more. Without UserFlux, you will typically have to use a sprawl of tools all trying to access the same underlying data. You'll integrate each, and duplicate the same customer data across them all - that's expensive and complicated! We decided to centralise all that customer data, and simply build the apps you need to use on top of it, all under the one roof. It's cheaper, simpler and much more efficient for you. And everything works better together. *** ### Key concepts Because UserFlux is used for a lot of use cases, it's important to understand the key parts of the platform.
