Google Analytics Ratings and Reviews
- Rob DautelSr. Manager, Ecosystem
We use Google Analytics (GA) for various external sites around our ecosystem. Not only is GA a free tool, but it's many features and new ability to connect and monitor eCommerce activity are great. It is very helpful in monitoring web traffic and activity and helping to determine next steps in marketing and web projects. It's permission based roles allow us to assign users for overall use, dashboard or reporting only, etc. We can also create users and dashboards corresponding to specific sites, regions, or products. Sure, there are things GA can't do that others can, but we find the reverse is also true. Overall GA is a very good and helpful tool especially with it's recent updates from late 2013 to the Universal Analytics engine.
It's free. Can't beat the price. It's permissions, reporting, and dashboards allow for great flexibility for users to get what they need It has advanced features many don't know of such as eCommerce reporting tools, goals and trending tools, and a plug-in API. - Verified UserProfessional
It is used to track all our traffic analysis. Along with our traffic analysis, we are also using this for conversion tracking as we set up the goals in the analytics. For now, it is only used by the Marketing department but we have a plan to introduce this platform to the whole organization.
While Google Analytics offers amounts of information on your website performance, it is still somewhat limited. Google Analytics can be confusing and overwhelming for new users.
