"A cheat sheet for marketers who need to learn their audiences! Nothing beats it!"
What do you like best about Google Analytics?

The ease of the reporting interface and the level of exacting detail on demographic data about our website visitors

What do you dislike about Google Analytics?

I don't have any major dislikes except when you are pulling a report, you have to re-enter your "date range" for each menu section you pull up. It would be great if it remembered your set date range for a few pages...rather than reverting to the current date each page.

What problems is Google Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to know information about who our audience is and what they are interested in seeing on our site! It's wonderful to get this level of user data and website flow with no cost!

"GA4 gets 5 stars for data collection and 3 stars for reporting and analytics"
What do you like best about Google Analytics?

Enterprise SaaS marketers like me love the user-centric approach GA4 takes to web analytics. GA4 does a great job of providing marketers the means to understand how users interact with our websites and apps. The event tracking features in particular are helpful; for instance it's easy to use events to understand who clicked a certain button on your site, and when. Cross-platform tracking is helpful to understand the behaviour of users who have touched your website and your app. Can you imagine how this could be helpful to your customer service and customer sales teams?

What do you dislike about Google Analytics?

GA4 is a sharp tool that can cut you if you don't handle it with care. That is: GA4 does not come out of the box magically configured to your needs. You're going to have to put in quite a lot of work to configure the platform to provide you the reports and analysis you would prefer.

What problems is Google Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?

My primary use case has been conversion optimization and attribution tracking for SaaS marketing. The platform's path analysis and funnel analysis features are important tools that help me understand which page designs, CTA's, form layouts, and copy work best.

"Insights and Optimization for Performance Marketers"
What do you like best about Google Analytics?

Google Analytics provides invaluable insights for performance marketers like myself. It enables me to track and analyze user behavior on our websites, understand engagement levels, and identify areas for optimization. The ability to set up goals and track conversions allows me to measure the success of my marketing campaigns accurately. I appreciate the flexibility and customization options available, such as setting up custom events and tracking specific user flows. Google Analytics empowers me to make data-driven decisions and optimize marketing strategies for maximum performance.

What do you dislike about Google Analytics?

While Google Analytics offers a wealth of features, I find that setting up accurate segments can be challenging at times. The data sampling can impact the accuracy of segments, and I would like to see improvements in this area. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have more advanced data visualization options and the ability to easily share those visualizations with my team.

What problems is Google Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?

Google Analytics plays a crucial role in solving key challenges for performance marketers. It helps me understand how users engage with our websites, which channels and sources are driving traffic, and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. By gaining insights into user behavior, demographics, and device usage, I can optimize our websites and marketing efforts to improve performance. The ability to measure performance year over year and compare conversion rates across subdomains allows me to identify areas for optimization and make informed decisions that benefit our overall marketing strategy.

"Best way to Know your Users"
What do you like best about Google Analytics?

1. Google Analytics is the best way to Know your Website Traffic 2. The platform provides comprehensive data on the number of visitors, their demographics, and their online behavior. 3. The custom reporting feature enables you to create personalized reports tailored to your specific goals and KPIs. 4. Google Analytics is an indispensable tool for anyone serious about maximizing the potential of their website or online business.

What do you dislike about Google Analytics?

1. The platform has a vast array of features and settings, and understanding how to navigate and utilize them effectively may require a significant learning curve. 2. Although Google provides documentation and resources for users to learn and troubleshoot issues, direct customer support for Google Analytics is limited.

What problems is Google Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking Website Traffic, Performance Monitoring, Understanding User Behavior, Conversion Tracking, and when dealing with large volumes of data, Google Analytics resorts to data sampling, which means it provides an estimate based on a subset of the data instead of the complete dataset.
