It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

Essential for understanding website traffic
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?
Google is the OG so it's timeless and reliable. The amount of data you have access to in Google Analytics is far better than other similar softwares I've tried.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I love that you can create key events to track things like conversions or phone call clicks on websites that aren't e-commerce related.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I personally don't dislike the display but I hear many people, including my clients, say they don't understand what the data means and they get anxious looking at all of the numbers in their Google Analytics dashboard. Because of this, I do wish there was a slightly more user-friendly option you could toggle on for people who aren't keen on understanding all of the different analytics the platform offers.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I always recommend that everyone with a website installs Google Analytics right away. It's better to have that data and not need it than to look back and wish you were collecting those analytics all along.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
