Featured Reviews

James Dascole - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at Charter Communications
Customer journeys have become clearer and real-time insights now highlight needed reporting improvements
One improvement I want to mention is that the way I had Glassbox set up was through the data layer; I am a technical person, so I used a Google Dev screen to search within Glassbox for segments rather than using the Adobe API connection, which I think would have been preferable since others have reported better success with that. I give Glassbox a seven because I would have preferred it connected through Adobe rather than through the data layer, which complicates training for non-technical staff to build custom reports; having the Adobe API set up would have made finding Adobe segments easier.
Navcharan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistent Seo Manager at RTDS
Have improved decision-making with effective reporting
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

"Glassbox has helped us save considerable money and time."
"Glassbox is a tool I use all the time; it is one of our most popular tools."
"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 reduce the time required to investigate customer issues, improve digital experience, and make data-driven decisions."
"Glassbox positively impacted our organization because we got a one-stop solution to track all different journeys, different dashboards, and different applications."
"Google Analytics definitely provided a lot of data that is now available to everyone, and the easy to use interface and the ability to add custom segments allows everyone to carry out their own analysis and come up with insights."
"I previously used WebTrends, but Google Analytics was more appealing because it was easy to setup, and it was available online for free."
"Every online business needs to know where traffic is coming from and what it does when it gets to you."
"Our organization has improved because we have solid data that we can use to analyze the impact of our public policies."
"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."
"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."
"Tracking of the website visitors and web page analysis became an easy task."
 

Cons

"Glassbox is powerful, but I think the user interface could be more intuitive for new users."
"Glassbox can be improved in various ways. I think performance and lag are areas needing improvements."
"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."
"I give Glassbox a seven because I would have preferred it connected through Adobe rather than through the data layer, which complicates training for non-technical staff to build custom reports; having the Adobe API set up would have made finding Adobe segments easier."
"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."
"Glassbox can be improved because it is somewhat complex and there is a steep learning curve that requires training."
"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."
"One area that Analytics falls short is in creating a report archive."
"While it provides a lot of data, the data is not always accurate. So data accuracy could definitely be improved."
"They can improve their Android app."
"There is a time lag of 4 hours for the tracking to get updated in the system."
"Google stripped out search rankings with “not provided.” It upsets many who want to understand how well they are doing in searches."
