What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?

Google Analytics is indeed the holy grail when it comes to gathering website statistics and generating reports. It is very easy to set up, and the level of details when it comes to the categories are really mind-blowing (demographics, sources, interests).

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to track visitors live of the website is really something huge. From this, we can really gauge about the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and eventually optimize for more hits and conversions.

What do you dislike most about this product?

At first, it is a little confusing to configure: excluding our own IP addresses, and other technical aspects, not readily understandable by the non-It personnel. There is a short learning curve for optimal use, but I guess that this is normal for such a powerful and complete tools.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are looking for the most detailed and reliable analytics solutions. Look no further. Google Analytics is the choice.
