Product Marketing Manager at a educational organization with 201-500 employees
Has supported marketing decisions by providing insights into web performance
Something could be enhanced with Adobe Analytics regarding how granular the data is. The dashboards do not give a very complete overview of things. Heat maps is a feature which can be introduced to Adobe Analytics as it does not have it at the moment. This would be a very useful addition.

Several positive aspects about the product stand out as advantages. Valuable insights can be gained from the unsampled reports available in the product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"There is definitely a return on investment in terms of how Adobe Analytics is bringing in new revenue, new customers, and tracking your campaign."
"Even though it's free, Google Analytics is packed with many of the same reports you'll find in high-priced solutions, especially concerning data relating to real-time visitor tracking."
"As an SEO and digital marketing professional, the two features I have found the most valuable about Google Analytics are the Acquisition tracking and the Goal tracking."
"I previously used WebTrends, but Google Analytics was more appealing because it was easy to setup, and it was available online for free."
"Tracking of the website visitors and web page analysis became an easy task."
"The customizable reporting feature is important in general, and it helps with making data-driven decisions."
"It allows us to understand where our traffic is coming from, where traffic is dropping off and how our AdWords campaigns are performing."
"Provides us with useful data and analytics about website traffic, giving us information about how to make our web pages better."
"Once you get the hang of GA, you can really use it to your advantage."
 

Cons

"Something could be enhanced with Adobe Analytics regarding how granular the data is. The dashboards do not give a very complete overview of things."
"It would be nice if Google Analytics provided all statistics, rather than a segment of the statistics."
"While it provides a lot of data, the data is not always accurate. So data accuracy could definitely be improved."
"Sometimes, the statistics are not updated in real-time and it takes a little time. There are pages where it updates faster than others."
"An area where I would like to see improvement in Google Analytics is the auto-syncing of functions in Google Tag Manager into Goal tracking."
"An area where I would like to see improvement in Google Analytics is the auto-syncing of functions in Google Tag Manager into Goal tracking."
"Beginner users access the live help section a lot, because of how confusing it is, so it would not be bad if the function was located within the administration section."
"Additionally, Google Analytics can be hard to pick up when you're just starting to use it."
"Google stripped out search rankings with “not provided.” It upsets many who want to understand how well they are doing in searches."
