Great granular DOM level with excellent analytics and reporting
There are three valuable areas: One of them is the granular DOM level where it captures behaviors on the application. Another is the analytics, because you don't need to provide it with a rule to identify the issues, it will analyze the usage of all the customers accessing that site and see if there are any abnormalities and it will identify unexpected changes in the pattern and that there is something wrong that needs to be checked out. That is extremely useful. Finally, the ability to create meaningful reports and dashboards to tell stories. The reports enable you to re-target customers if they've had any problems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"A solid choice for users who need simple, straightforward analytics, accessed through an easy to use interface."
"With Google Analytics, we obtain different metrics from all of the clients that enter our web environment."
"Tracking of the website visitors and web page analysis became an easy task."
"We found that the source and medium report is very useful when we are analyzing paid and organic campaign performance."
"Every online business needs to know where traffic is coming from and what it does when it gets to you."
"Once you get the hang of GA, you can really use it to your advantage."
"The ability to create meaningful reports and dashboards to tell stories."
 

Cons

"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."
"Data capture of the acquisition of users, as on a few occasions, it was unclear where we got traffic from."
"Google stripped out search rankings with “not provided.” It upsets many who want to understand how well they are doing in searches."
"The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data."
"Additionally, Google Analytics can be hard to pick up when you're just starting to use it."
"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."
"The technical side requires development skills during implementation. This could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The installation cost is really low and does not require a team with a super performance to run."
