For product analytics I'm either using Mixpanel or Amplitude. They have similar capability, I'm mainly choosing based on the app stat, to have a good pricing; Mixpanel pricing is based on number of users, amplitude pricing is based on the number of event per month.
Aside from quantitative analytics I like to have some user recording tool like SmartLook . This is particularly useful early stage.
Some tools to structure and analyse user feedbacks like FeedBear or productboard 2.0 are nice to have.

I'm a bit biased as I'm working on supercooldata.com which teaches product analytics with SQL and so my preference is to stream the events to a data warehouse like BigQuery or Snowflake and then use a tool like Mode to do my own analytics.
If I use something like GA/Mixpanel/Amplitude then I'm going to hit walls for the crucial questions I want to answer. However, with those tools, you get a lot of basic analytics out of the box without much effort.
Google analytics and Metabase are the ones I currently use. For marketing, I like Active Campaign and Campaign Monitor.
