This used to be a good service
This used to be a good service, but like so many other firms, they have been taken over by greed and are now charging large fees for services that are free elsewhere (and which they have monetised already via tracking data). Their customer service approach also seems to involve telling customers they are wrong over and over again until they go away. Shame.

More than a bit of a joke.
No end user customer service whatsoever. No Bitly employees available for online chat support. Sent in a survey with a promise of a reward and never recieved anything by mail or email.

ZERO Customer service on premium plan.
Not only do they completely ignore requests for support (despite us being on an expensive paid plan) their ticket system doesn't actually work at all.AVOID - look for an alternative.

Excellent link shortening and tracking for a unified link experience
PROS & CONS
What are the best aspects of this product?
Bitly's tracking stats are excellent. It provides an easy to see overview of what's being clicked and where. The Chrome extension is simple and effective to use as well. We use Bundles a lot and they are very helpful. I love that I can use branded URLs and custom links, as they make tracking things very easy.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
I'd like to see a little more customization on making shortlinks, like being to append automatically Google Analytics parameters to links to our own domains. Their mobile app needs a bit of work too. In particular, I would like to be able to do social sharing from my mobile device as well
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
Through the tool, the ability to create branded shortlinks becomes easy for us and this helps us provide a unified link experience. It also provides us the needed analytics, so we know what's being clicked on, by who, and where.

Helped fill the need for a link shortener and beyond
PROS & CONS
What are the best aspects of this product?
Bitly has been around for some time now and my impression of it is that it is a business ready for the future. They offered shortened URL's as a service out of the box, as well as providing tagging and measuring of these links so you could have immediate analytics as to how you are engaging through the link. With their new interface, I like that you really get control over when, where and how many times your links have been used. Its mobile app provides a lot of convenience and its API is very easy to use for more powerful uses. And of course, I get set a personalized brand for the short URL's that I share.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
It is frustrating to find a short URL you can use that somewhat resembles your brand name. It's almost impossible now to find 2-character domain names. Finding a 3-character domain is tricky too, but with some creativity you can still find some out there.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
The rise of social media, especially Twitter with a 140 character limit, presented the need for short URL's. Bitly filled this requirement very well allowing us to create very long marketing campaigns that were reduced to short links you could use in your Twitter message and still had some room left for a message of value. Eventually, more of these services popped up and even Twitter provided a similar service. But we stayed with the service because we could also track and measure the performance of our campaigns with it.
