Featured Reviews

Suraj Chandak - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for reporting and monitoring purposes and to check the business KPIs
We take real-time decisions based on the solution's charts. We get an automated email from the solution in our mailbox so that we can particularly only check those error reports into Amplitude. If an end user gets an error while trying to do a transaction, we get alerts from the solution. I would recommend the solution to other users. Amplitude is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly tool. It allows us to create charts, demonstrate data, and view it effectively. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Navcharan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer

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

"I loved using Amplitude because it allowed me to dive deep into product usage and analyze different customer segments."
"Amplitude offers flexibility in real-time data analysis, allowing users to make immediate decisions."
"Other areas like cohort analysis, defining key events, and user properties were also well-suited for Amplitude. It is an easy tool to use."
"We can create charts and bar charts for visualization purposes and check real-time data with the solution."
"With Google Analytics, we obtain different metrics from all of the clients that enter our web environment."
"The User Explorer is a definite favorite because it allows us to pinpoint a user and check their entire journey through our website including all the events triggered and the pages visited."
"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."
"It is packed with many of the same reports you'll find in high-priced solutions, especially concerning data relating to real-time visitor tracking."
"Our organization has improved because we have solid data that we can use to analyze the impact of our public policies."
 

Cons

"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"The free features in Amplitude Analytics need enhancement."
"The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced."
"If you do not use JavaScript, you will be invisible to Google Analytics. If you have the option of JavaScript disabled in your browsers, you will be invisible to the data, since the tool will not be able to register you."
"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."
"The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data."
"They can improve their Android app."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a little on the higher end, especially when considering scalability."
"The installation cost is really low and does not require a team with a super performance to run."
