Data-driven insights have improved campaign tracking and form journey optimization
The tutorials provided on the Experience League platform could be made easier or explained in more accessible terms. Sometimes it is difficult for a beginner to understand the terminologies, so this could be improved. From a cost perspective, a major improvement is needed. Adobe Analytics is a very costly tool. For example, if a startup or a small company wants to use Adobe Analytics, it is very difficult to procure that license because of the high cost. I would expect Adobe to reduce the cost so that many enterprise companies would be interested in using that tool. Earlier, Adobe Analytics had ad hoc analysis, which was an omnichannel tool that had both offline data injection and online data injection capabilities. This was a very useful tool, but Adobe decommissioned it a few years ago. I found that tool very helpful for the business as it provided the capability of preparing dashboards and reports for all datasets, offering a wider range of insights. Unfortunately, Adobe has decommissioned that tool.

Several positive aspects about the product stand out as advantages. Valuable insights can be gained from the unsampled reports available in the product. The cloud type needs to be specified whether it's public, private, or hybrid. The overall rating for Google Analytics 360 is 9 out of 10, where 10 represents the best 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."
"I would recommend Adobe Analytics to businesses over any other tool because it provides all the solutions under one window, including tag management, reporting, and customer data platform, so all of this is available under one roof."
"Tracking of the website visitors and web page analysis became an easy task."
"Once you get the hang of GA, you can really use it to your advantage."
"It allows us to understand where our traffic is coming from, where traffic is dropping off and how our AdWords campaigns are performing."
"With Google Analytics, we obtain different metrics from all of the clients that enter our web environment."
"A solid choice for users who need simple, straightforward analytics, accessed through an easy to use interface."
"Our organization has improved because we have solid data that we can use to analyze the impact of our public policies."
"Provides us with useful data and analytics about website traffic, giving us information about how to make our web pages better."
"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."
 

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."
"Adobe Analytics is mostly stable, but we have observed a few downtimes or issues with the product."
"One area that Analytics falls short is in creating a report archive."
"Sometimes, the statistics are not updated in real-time and it takes a little time. There are pages where it updates faster than others."
"It would be nice if Google Analytics provided all statistics, rather than a segment of the statistics."
"The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data."
"Google stripped out search rankings with “not provided.” It upsets many who want to understand how well they are doing in searches."
"They can improve their Android app."
"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."
