What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?

We use Google Analytics not just internally, but also on behalf of a number of customers. For good reason, Google Analytics has become the de facto standard for understanding how users interact with your site(s) and thus improving the content you provide.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Have a website and not using Google Analytics? You're leaving money on the table. Google Analytics is a great tool for gauging the success of your various marketing initiatives and enhancing the user experience on your site. Google Analytics can inform you if the advertising you're doing to get visitors to your site is paying off.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Not only is it inconvenient to view retention data, but it's also tough to plan events and toggle between different properties.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Websites, web apps, and online games all benefit from using Google Analytics. Google Analytics is acceptable, but it's not well suited to the circumstances where native mobile apps and games are involved. This method is less ideal when there is a high volume of reported events since it becomes more challenging to manage all of them.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy
