Best Analytics Software Available

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?

GA has been around longer than most software and its' free for most businesses so it's an easy option.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love how much you can track with GA. You can customize URLs and setup specific campaign tracking as well as integrate with other systems such as ads platforms and social media. It's great for understanding how people find and use your website.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The data is a bit overwhelming and not always easy to understand. GA is getting better at providing insights but ultimately human intervention is still best so it's not a perfect science. The multi channel attribution modeling is interesting, but also challenging to understand.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You really don't need any other analytics software than GA. Set it up and do the tutorials online, and invest in a more advanced training from a reputable company so you know how to get the most out of it.

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
