Session insights have transformed how we detect user errors and prioritize fixes across regions
Glassbox now has GIA as an AI integration that provides analysis very quickly without needing to watch the entire session. Based on previous results, the analysis is accurate 90 to 95 percent of the time regarding possible reasons why a user faced an issue. Based on that analysis, we can make a report and get things done to prevent errors. The best features that Glassbox offers are reporting and the funnel. These two use cases help us most as we can determine the expected count for user behavior and compare it to earlier weeks and days from the same period. In the report section, we can identify specific alerts that are being triggered on a regular basis so we can capture and analyze them and fix them in the longer term. The funnel feature helps us check user impact and identify which countries or specific areas the website is failing in. With this feature, if a customer is facing a cart page error, we can check how many users were impacted at that specific time and which regions those users are experiencing errors. We can also check what products those customers are trying to add. Based on that information, we can create a report and check comparisons. When we share it with the business team, they can determine if the issue is widespread and work on it with higher priority, or if it has lower impact with fewer users affected, indicating an intermittent error that can be worked on with lower priority. Glassbox has had a positive impact on my organization through all the features it provides. As AI is advancing and its adaptability within the app itself integrates many use cases, the reports, funnels, dashboards, GIA features, and integrations that Glassbox provides help us address issue behavior and work on resolutions. Additionally, it creates reports that we can share with other teams so they can determine if the impact is wider. To prevent errors quickly, Glassbox captures reproducible customer errors. If an error is not reproducible, Glassbox does not capture it and can mark it as a false alert. This is how we prevent false alerts and capture only genuine alerts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Glassbox positively impacted our organization because we got a one-stop solution to track all different journeys, different dashboards, and different applications."
"I have seen a return on investment, having saved a lot of money and time."
"One of the biggest benefits of using Glassbox is faster issue identification and better visibility into customer experience problems."
"Glassbox has helped us save considerable money and time."
"In my opinion, Google Analytics fulfills the role it plays in a good way."
"We found that the source and medium report is very useful when we are analyzing paid and organic campaign performance."
"I previously used WebTrends, but Google Analytics was more appealing because it was easy to setup, and it was available online for free."
"Once you get the hang of GA, you can really use it to your advantage."
"Since 2008, nearly every website I have worked on as an SEO and digital marketing professional has had Google Analytics deployed."
"A solid choice for users who need simple, straightforward analytics, accessed through an easy to use interface."
"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."
"We have increased our visits, views, and average stay on site time, which has led to an increase in revenues, and better targeting of our digital marketing campaigns."
 

Cons

"One frustration I have experienced with Glassbox is that with large amounts of session data, it could sometimes take time to filter and narrow down the exact user journey I want to analyze."
"Glassbox can be improved in various ways. I think performance and lag are areas needing improvements."
"Glassbox can be improved because it is somewhat complex and there is a steep learning curve that requires training."
"There are sometimes issues with Glassbox itself where some alerts do not get captured or the GIA integration does not show correct results, but it is being learned and improving."
"Sometimes, the statistics are not updated in real-time and it takes a little time. There are pages where it updates faster than others."
"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."
"Some spam data is messing up the analytics report; Google should remove spam data."
"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."
"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."
"Not the right product if you need detailed click stream analysis or integration with your firm's customer segmentation."
"They can improve their Android app."
