Mohammad Saad - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical consultant at Ernst and young
Digital experience insights have improved funnel decisions and now optimize checkout journeys
There are multiple features of Glassbox. One major feature of Glassbox is the Struggle Score that will be applied to every session by identifying the behavior of rage clicks, excessive scrolling, or dead clicks. It correlates the struggle with the revenue impact. Instead of seeing a list of a thousand errors, I will see five errors actually costing us the most money, helping me prioritize what to fix first. In addition to that, in the tagless capture, there are some benefits such as no manual coding will be required and immediate answers to any questions. That is the best feature of Glassbox as well. Glassbox positively impacts my organization by increasing our productivity using its features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have seen a return on investment, having saved a lot of money and time."
"Glassbox positively impacted our organization because we got a one-stop solution to track all different journeys, different dashboards, and different applications."
"Every online business needs to know where traffic is coming from and what it does when it gets to you."
"The User Explorer is a definite favorite because it allows us to pinpoint a user and check their entire journey through our website including all the events triggered and the pages visited."
"It's got incredible depth, yet it’s free."
"Once you get the hang of GA, you can really use it to your advantage."
"The customizable reporting feature is important in general, and it helps with making data-driven decisions."
"I previously used WebTrends, but Google Analytics was more appealing because it was easy to setup, and it was available online for free."
"Since 2008, nearly every website I have worked on as an SEO and digital marketing professional has had Google Analytics deployed."
"Our organization has improved because we have solid data that we can use to analyze the impact of our public policies."
 

Cons

"Glassbox can be improved because it is somewhat complex and there is a steep learning curve that requires training."
"Glassbox can be improved in various ways. I think performance and lag are areas needing improvements."
"Sometimes, the statistics are not updated in real-time and it takes a little time. There are pages where it updates faster than others."
"Sometimes, the statistics are not updated in real-time and it takes a little time."
"The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data."
"Additionally, Google Analytics can be hard to pick up when you're just starting to use it."
"It would be nice if Google Analytics provided all statistics, rather than a segment of the statistics."
"An area where I would like to see improvement in Google Analytics is the auto-syncing of functions in Google Tag Manager into Goal tracking."
"Google stripped out search rankings with “not provided.” It upsets many who want to understand how well they are doing in searches."
"There is a time lag of 4 hours for the tracking to get updated in the system."
