The endurance athletes who care about data use Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks, and WKO for tracking and analytics. Strava's analytics and workout planning features are basically useless.

Where Strava adds value is as a social network. It's fun to share your activities and pictures with friends, and see what they have been doing. I've gotten good ideas for routes to try or races to enter.

As a long time Strava user it is frustrating to see how it has been stagnant for many years and they almost never add useful improvements. They still don't support triathlons (or any other multisport activities). Many of the segment and challenge leaderboards are full of obvious cheaters.
