Data-driven insights have improved campaign tracking and form journey optimization
The tutorials provided on the Experience League platform could be made easier or explained in more accessible terms. Sometimes it is difficult for a beginner to understand the terminologies, so this could be improved. From a cost perspective, a major improvement is needed. Adobe Analytics is a very costly tool. For example, if a startup or a small company wants to use Adobe Analytics, it is very difficult to procure that license because of the high cost. I would expect Adobe to reduce the cost so that many enterprise companies would be interested in using that tool. Earlier, Adobe Analytics had ad hoc analysis, which was an omnichannel tool that had both offline data injection and online data injection capabilities. This was a very useful tool, but Adobe decommissioned it a few years ago. I found that tool very helpful for the business as it provided the capability of preparing dashboards and reports for all datasets, offering a wider range of insights. Unfortunately, Adobe has decommissioned that tool.

Several positive aspects about the product stand out as advantages. Valuable insights can be gained from the unsampled reports available in the product. The cloud type needs to be specified whether it's public, private, or hybrid. The overall rating for Google Analytics 360 is 9 out of 10, where 10 represents the best product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would recommend Adobe Analytics to businesses over any other tool because it provides all the solutions under one window, including tag management, reporting, and customer data platform, so all of this is available under one roof."
"There is definitely a return on investment in terms of how Adobe Analytics is bringing in new revenue, new customers, and tracking your campaign."
"In my opinion, Google Analytics fulfills the role it plays in a good way."
"Since 2008, nearly every website I have worked on as an SEO and digital marketing professional has had Google Analytics deployed."
"We have increased our visits, views, and average stay on site time, which has led to an increase in revenues, and better targeting of our digital marketing campaigns."
"Our organization has improved because we have solid data that we can use to analyze the impact of our public policies."
"Even though it's free, Google Analytics is packed with many of the same reports you'll find in high-priced solutions, especially concerning data relating to real-time visitor tracking."
"A solid choice for users who need simple, straightforward analytics, accessed through an easy to use interface."
"It's got incredible depth, yet it’s free."
"As an SEO and digital marketing professional, the two features I have found the most valuable about Google Analytics are the Acquisition tracking and the Goal tracking."
 

Cons

"Adobe Analytics is mostly stable, but we have observed a few downtimes or issues with the product."
"Something could be enhanced with Adobe Analytics regarding how granular the data is. The dashboards do not give a very complete overview of things."
"The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data."
"One area that Analytics falls short is in creating a report archive."
"Data capture of the acquisition of users, as on a few occasions, it was unclear where we got traffic from."
"Sometimes, the statistics are not updated in real-time and it takes a little time. There are pages where it updates faster than others."
"Google stripped out search rankings with “not provided.” It upsets many who want to understand how well they are doing in searches."
"Not the right product if you need detailed click stream analysis or integration with your firm's customer segmentation."
"The technical support from Google has room for improvement."
"It would be nice if Google Analytics provided all statistics, rather than a segment of the statistics."
