What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?

The main difference that stands out between Google Analytics and other analysis platforms is that it has a much easier to use structure. Previously I used other platforms for web analytics that were very complex, the reports were more complicated to understand and the settings were also complex. Google Analytics focuses on ease of use with a fairly clean and easy-to-use UI. In addition, another difference is that it offers greater precision in the accounting of visits and counts organic traffic very well.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The things I liked the most about Google Analytics were: 1.- It offers an excellent accounting system for clicks, visits to sections of the site and fully monitors the visit of each client to know which section has interested them the most. 2.- It has very complete reports, where all types of traffic generated by the client are specified. All website analytics can be accessed in real time without the need to wait additional time. 3.- Linking the website and making the data monitoring settings is completely simple. I have used even more complex platforms that have very difficult to understand configurations.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One of the things I don't like about Google Analytics is that the raw data collected by the visitor monitoring system cannot be accessed. Access to raw data would help me to be able to count and review details of visits that do not appear in the reports or that have not been counted. Also, I don't like its free trial version either. The free trial offers very few basic custom variables, which results in a very limited user experience when associating your website.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The main reason why I would recommend Google Analytics is because it offers a totally reliable data source which helps all users to collect visit and click data reliably and without worrying about any data loss. In addition, another reason why I would recommend this platform is because it offers a very exact service, which counts organic visits very well and is able to specifically monitor each visit and know which section has interested the client the most.

  • Helps Innovate
