"A necessity after GA4!"
What do you like best about MonsterInsights?

I use the all-in-one dashboard daily, and Overview Report in the company WordPress site give me all the information. I submit monthly and quarterly ananlytic reports to my executives, I love that with the pro version I can set custom date ranges in the reports. So easy to install and it was a seamless integration into my existing WordPress site.

What do you dislike about MonsterInsights?

The automatic date ranges doesn't include "Last Quarter."

What problems is MonsterInsights solving and how is that benefiting you?

Provides me custom date range reports that make GA4 much easier to access intel. The generated reports are easy enought for my boss to understand.

"It is one of the best plugin for wordpress"
What do you like best about MonsterInsights?

by only a few clicks, you can set up analytics with MonsterInsights and evaluate the performance of your website. You can expand your audience and keep people coming back by viewing how they find and use your site from your WordPress dashboard.

What do you dislike about MonsterInsights?

This is sadly the biggest disadvantage of using MonsterInsights. Only the Pro Version provides access to almost all of the advanced features, and the pro version is really expensive.

What problems is MonsterInsights solving and how is that benefiting you?

You can use this simple plugin to help you locate important information about your customer base and you can understand more about your attendees, the venue, the content that most appeals to your target audience, and much more.

"Best software for Google Analytics"
What do you like best about MonsterInsights?

MonsterInsights has made it extremely easy to connect our websites to our Google Analytics accounts. The dashboard is very user friendly, the setup process is extremely easy. In order to connect your account, the process is very easy, you have to first start your Google Analytics account, and then you have to download the plugin for your WordPress website. Once you have both the GA and MI accounts setup, you can activate the plugin and sign in to your GA account via the plugin. You can easily have multiple GA accounts under the same email as MI will ask you which account you want to connect. Once you have the access, you select the account and then follow the installation wizard. The plugin will connect with the account and then you have access to MI within your WordPress website. It makes it extremely simple to get data for your website without having to login to GA. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking to streamline their analytics, and get insight on the website traffic without having to login to multiple areas.

What do you dislike about MonsterInsights?

There's nothing that I don't like about this product, it has been very helpful to us. The software is easy to use, the data is easy to read. And everything is very user friendly.

What problems is MonsterInsights solving and how is that benefiting you?

Without having to login to Google Analytics, i'm able to see the analytics information directly on our WordPress dashboard, where I can get an all-in-one experience and help make changes to the website. MonsterInsights has made it extremely efficient.

MonsterInsights offers plenty options to customise what you want from this plugin and how you want it while making sure that every aspect of On-Page Analytics is covered.

"Robust Analytics Tool"
What do you like best about MonsterInsights?

MonsterInsights streamlines the process for integrating Google Analytics with WordPress sites. The free version is pretty easy to set up and use. Takes the headache out of WordPress customization and tracking.

What do you dislike about MonsterInsights?

MonsterInsights is a little clunky in some places. For example, in search of a Google global site tag, I went through the whole setup process again, only to not find the tag. Accessing and changing settings could be a little more straightforward and user-friendly.

What problems is MonsterInsights solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a quick solution to automate Google Analytics integration with my company's WordPress site. MonsterInsights was recommended as the easiest and best way to accomplish that task, and I'm happy I went this route. It saved me a lot of time trying to integrate my accounts using other, more manual methods.

"MonsterInsights Made Me Stop Shooting In The Dark"
What do you like best about MonsterInsights?

Very easy to install with one click. Very easy to use and beginner-friendly Google Analytics plugin. The most important analytics of your website are available even before you upgrade. The free version seems to have no time limit, perfect for full appreciation before you may upgrade.

What do you dislike about MonsterInsights?

With the Pro upgrade at $199.50, this upgrade price is too high, especially for beginners.

What problems is MonsterInsights solving and how is that benefiting you?

MonsterInsights has made my decision-making easy. For example, I am able to tell the traffic contributions of various traffic sources and quickly decide which sources to concentrate on or do away with altogether.

"MonsterInsights the pros and the cons"
What do you like best about MonsterInsights?

Monsterinsights allows users to set up Google Analytics easily. In a couple of clicks, we can link our site with Google Analytics without using any codes. With this software, we can effortlessly enable numerous analytics tracking functions on our site that we may have missed. Even though it is simple to set up standard analytic tracking to collect data such as sessions, page views, and launch date, the standard set up don't let us enable improved tracking reports such as form tracking, download tracking, and e-commerce tracking. Since we started using Monsterinsights, we don’t care about skewing the data since we don’t use any code when setting up.

What do you dislike about MonsterInsights?

The software is expensive, and it might not be a viable option if you have a low budget. Additionally, it comes with plugins that are compatible with the Pro version. This means that anyone using the free version will get frustrated. So, any user who wants better results must upgrade to the premium for a better vision to acquire the intended targets. Additionally, there aren’t enough details on WordPress concerning Monsterinsights, so you need to watch how-to videos and tutorials.

What problems is MonsterInsights solving and how is that benefiting you?

Monsterinsights has made our enhanced e-commerce tracking easy. With a couple of clicks, we can track sales from our sites and download stores since there is no coding required. Additionally, we can see the overall conversion rate, best-performing products, and other important insights about our business right in the dashboard. Before we started using Monsterinsights, we were forced to employ developers to set up the tracking.
