Amazing tool for web analytics

Likeliness to Recommend

6 /10

What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?

Built-in reports are beneficial but you can create custom reports if you need more details with different dimensions and metrics it also provides insights which is just little data about your site traffic in sentence format its the best way to know which strategy you are on your design works better or which page is more attractive.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

On-site live analytics help you see where people are clicking on your website in real-time. One of the most important features is which link users click on a site.

What do you dislike most about this product?

This tool necessitates a large number of manual adjustments.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I think that Google Analytics is a great tool and don’t know why everyone wouldn’t use it on their websites, apps, etc. It’s free; just takes time and effort to learn how to find the information you want once it is set up. I especially like how you can set up custom goals and reports for anything you are interested in seeing. I often find that I track the pages on my websites that are visited the list often and what marketing campaigns are bringing people to my site.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Fair

very accurate data, recommended

What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?

It is very easy for me to differentiate between Google analytics and other similar companies because apart from the fact that it is one of the companies that analyzes the data of a web page and that comes from Google, it has been able to remain among the best in its field, this means that has stood out a lot in recent years, due to its stability, its technical support and how easy it is to use

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Google analytics is a tool that Google provides us to be able to have more information about the people who visit our websites, among other very important data such as being able to establish a pattern of people who visit our website, be it country, city, device, age. , browser or explorer, there is also the possibility of knowing how long the person was inside the website and if there was multimedia interaction, thus allowing me to know if they like the information or data they posted on the web because this tool points me towards the person entertained her or not

What do you dislike most about this product?

Something bad about Google analytics is that the code has to be in the header part of the website and since it is sometimes complicated for new people I think it could be made a little easier for these people, I think they could do it like that the person enters a link and automatically I know it will organize everything and the code will be placed where it should go and thus prevent them from doing it wrong, in my case it has never been difficult for me, the data that it normally returns is very accurate, although the last error I had, was that the code they gave me was wrong and I didn't see any data from my website

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Creating and maintaining a website requires that we have a good attention to our public, therefore we must take care and keep abreast of what our public likes and does not like and there is no better tool than Google analytics for this job since It shows us everything graphically or in details written in numbers as well. Its best feature is the stability, security and accuracy of the data that it provides us from our website and therefore its use is recommended

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Performance Enhancing

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Google Analytics from other similar products?

Its integrations and synergistic value proposition inherent in the confluences that comprise the larger google cloud and marketing platform

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Tie - love the integrations and sum greater than parts value realizations they enable - furthermore love that with GA4 and GCP and the daily granular Big Query export have automated data collection for mining, k-means clustering, and facilitated machine learning with Big Query ML - data that is assured consistent and thus leverageable schema and frameworks!

What do you dislike most about this product?

Patience is not my greatest virtue; I am eager and excited for the value unleashing potentiations Google is steadily working towards facilitating in coming days, weeks, year.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Its an exceptional, free, value creator and enabler that with GA4 is witnessing a transformational shovel shaped exponential acceleration in trend of value potentiation elevation. Definitely would advise leveraging true expertise in initial implementation and onboarding as there's tremendous flexibility to identify the methods, means, and measures that will translate to clear corporate value realization.
