The best tool to prepare the detailed analysis of a website with real-time visitors, audience overview, acquisition, audience behavior, and many other tracking reports according to the user.

Track website visitors location-wise, device-wise, gender-wise. 3. Easy to track individual product performance for e-Commerce stores. 4. Analyze the sales funnel. 5. Improve your website performance by analyzing the page performance based on traffic, session duration & conversion rate. 6. Easily improve the app performance and user performance.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Google Analytics is a little tricky and hard to use. Considering the analytics performance & reliability, it not so far easy.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are a website developer and want to consider a tool that can track your website visitors, you must install Google Analytics to your website header part. You should be an admin of the google analytics tool and get the tracking code from your admin section to tracking your website.

Nice to Use but Hard to Customize

What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?

Google controls all of the SEO industry so whatever Google wants, Google gets. With SEO, you have to play by their rules with their algorhythms.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I have to use Google Analytics to get down to the actual numbers of how visitors get to the website and then what they do. Once it's implemented and I get my dashboards configured, it's great at giving me the numbers that I need.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are really too many ways to slice and dice the numbers. They just changed the platform on how to configure a website and you can't just be a new user and jump right in. Technical knowledge is required and then it is still overwhelming at times.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Be patient and seek help online from other users as needed. You'll get there but it's not easy to just go.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product

Cons

  • Less Effective Service
  • Less Efficient Service
  • Wastes Time
