Integrates with everything and a MUST

What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?

As Google does, their products interact with eachother very well. Failures in communication between Google Ads and Analytics is typically a result of incorrect setup/binding of the accounts. Overall, Analytics is the simplest and easiest to use compared to competitors. It's not as flashy and in my opinion doesn't allow you to get as much into the weeds regarding sales/conversion attribution and valuation of a conversion...but it does most everything well enough. Support is slow and has gone down significantly over the years.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Integrates with anything Google product very easily and is trustworthy. Linking to DataStudio makes building custom reports a breeze.

What do you dislike most about this product?

They're slow to innovate and service at times can be very slow or non-responsive.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Beef up your customer service. Many of us are Google loyalists and feel we deserve more attention....especially when we're doing a large volume of business with your company.

Excellent way to monitor a website.

What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?

Google Analytics differs from other web analytics platforms because it provides better visitor accounting. Many other platforms count duplicate visits, those people who enter repeatedly in a short period of time, and other platforms collect those repetitive visits while Google Analytics does an accounting by IP address, it is able to record the visit of each new person and allows unique real visits to be counted, without the need to count repetitive visits that can affect the web productivity report. This Google Analytics accounting is unique, I love it and it makes my reports count the actual visits.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

One of the things I like the most about Google Analytics is its visitor monitoring system. Google Analytics performs automatic monitoring which is capable of collecting the experience of each person's visit, which helps us to know which section they have visited the most, what information has interested them the most and how the visitors' journey has been in the sections of our website, I love this visit monitoring, it allows me to know what kind of impact the sections of my website are having and it also allows me to know what content on the website has been the most interesting for visitors.

What do you dislike most about this product?

All the reports collected in Google Analytics can be transferred to a storage cloud, however, the reports prepared cannot be downloaded directly, this causes the export of the collected information to be a bit complex. I would like to export my web analytics reports without using my cloud storage. It is important to note that I have not had any other problems with Google Analytics, I just don't like the way I have to export the reports, I hope this feature will be improved soon.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Google Analytics is that system that is appropriate for any type of company, it has a good structure and the graphics system is capable of providing exact information on the performance of the website. Google Analytics counts real visits, blocks duplicate visits and is able to provide geographic information to know where the visits come from. It is a very complete software and provides detailed reports on the performance of a web page, I recommend it without a doubt.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy
