Featured Reviews

Navcharan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistent Seo Manager at RTDS
Have improved decision-making with effective reporting
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.
Suleyman Suleyman - PeerSpot reviewer
QA Automation Lead at Mashvisor
Heat maps have guided user behavior insights but session replays still need more accurate rendering
The heat map functionality is very valuable. For example, in our application there is a search box where users write an address, and it searches at the state or city level. If there is a bug in our input box, it has very high critical severity. These are the things I use it for. I can also see in which state our application is used the most. We have 16 or 18 projects in our Meshvisor, and I can see which applications are used most by users. If an application is not valued by people, there is no need to dedicate much time to it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 allows us to understand where our traffic is coming from, where traffic is dropping off and how our AdWords campaigns are performing."
"With Google Analytics, we obtain different metrics from all of the clients that enter our web environment."
"Our organization has improved because we have solid data that we can use to analyze the impact of our public policies."
"Once you get the hang of GA, you can really use it to your advantage."
"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."
"Provides us with useful data and analytics about website traffic, giving us information about how to make our web pages better."
"Tracking of the website visitors and web page analysis became an easy task."
"I use Microsoft Clarity to watch these videos on a weekly basis to understand what users are experiencing."
 

Cons

"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."
"The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data."
"Some spam data is messing up the analytics report; Google should remove spam data."
"Data capture of the acquisition of users, as on a few occasions, it was unclear where we got traffic from."
"There is a time lag of 4 hours for the tracking to get updated in the system."
"While it provides a lot of data, the data is not always accurate. So data accuracy could definitely be improved."
"Beginner users access the live help section a lot, because of how confusing it is, so it would not be bad if the function was located within the administration section."
"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 when I watch the videos, I can see that because of CSS issues, Microsoft Clarity is also showing some UI elements in incorrect places."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The installation cost is really low and does not require a team with a super performance to run."
