Very powerful but difficult to implement

What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?

Usually, I would have written a distinction but Google Analytics is a category creator in itself, and nothing comes close to it. Furthermore, its integration with other Google Tools such as Webmaster Tools makes it tremendously powerful getting data with even the most comprehensive internal custom solutions cannot compete with.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The new predictive analytics and real time analytics add tremendous value to our ongoing efforts no longer we need to wait for 24 hours to get results of a new campaign we can track time on a real time basis. The predictive analytics while is not something too elegant but every once in a while they will throw an insight that you might miss with all the data being processed by Analytics and works like a nifty assistant.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Google's usage of data sampling and limiting insights when sample size is small are my primary issues with otherwise an excellent solution.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Nothing comes close to Google Analytics as long as you have the requisite trained manpower to harness it, further free advanced certifications are being offered by Google itself that you can take a look at if you want to do it yourself. There are lot of custom scripts that are out there and it won't hurt to check some third party resources such as Neil Patel, Labnol and Moz from time to time to keep yourself updated.

Pros

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

Fantastic product, but challenging for beginners.

What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?

It contains some of the most robust statistics available. Outstanding filtering abilities and excellent meta-tagging for targeted searches. Robust alternatives for the analysis you wish to do.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The application is extremely graphic and relies heavily on clicking to locate and utilize things. It's excellent for digging deeper without the need for a filter.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Once you start using it, it's difficult to grasp. Its terminology and usage are not always straightforward. Although it has a lovely design once you understand how to use it, it takes a lot of trial and error to utilize it correctly at first.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

There must be a instruction for the beginners for learning this software better.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Saves Time
  • Continually Improving Product
