I never tried MixPanel due to the pricing issues due to our high traffic destination. My startup builds products for news publications and we are quite happy with GA and using GA APIs to show the same on our dashboards. There are a couple of Bootstrap themes that do a really good job of displaying the same GA data in a dumbed-down, visually appealing layout. There are also some pretty good charting libraries which makes it easy to talk plot GA data on dashboards. I may be wrong but it seems MixPanel is targeted toward startups who value conversions very strongly and are already spending boatloads on advertising, affiliates, etc.

I found GA is very good at the beginning also. Latter, I found that I need ip addresses info and GA is not giving that to me. I end up adding api to my backend app to log interesting backend events into the my backend json db. I found that Per IP address analystic give me much deeper understanding of events flow. Geoip lookup also allows for me to gain inside to correlate engaged user level to the type of contents to organization name/type.
