It has been particularly helpful in protecting their data and ensuring the accuracy of their data collection efforts. The website audit feature of ObservePoint provides valuable insights for website businesses, allowing them to identify any issues or errors that may be impacting their online performance. With ObservePoint, users are able to audit multiple pages at once, saving them time and resources. The automatic scanning feature is especially beneficial as it helps in QA data collection and alerts users about any irregularities that may require attention.
In addition to its data monitoring capabilities, ObservePoint is also widely used across various departments to ensure that websites are loading correctly and online processes are functioning properly. Users rely on ObservePoint to validate their analytics codes and collect accurate data, minimizing the risk of tagging errors that could negatively impact their business. One of the key advantages of using ObservePoint is its combination of technical review and user engagement review features, which proves to be highly beneficial when used alongside other analytics tools. Clients have successfully implemented ObservePoint to verify tag functionality after site updates, ensuring seamless transitions and preventing any disruptions in data collection. Furthermore, organizations rely on ObservePoint for daily tag validation, maintaining data accuracy and compliance on an ongoing basis.

Limited capabilities for journey simulation: Some users have mentioned that the software's journey simulation feature is somewhat limited and could be improved to meet their specific requirements. They feel that more customization and configuration options are needed.

ObservePoint Review
- Custom tagging is very important when you need specific tags tailored to your website needs.
- The dashboards are great, user friendly and you can share them with coworkers easily.
- Page details, although interesting, are not very useful as the data is too granular and not possible to integrate with other analytics data for insights.
- Some of the custom tagging may be a little complicated, so sometimes we need an engineer or an ObservePoint tech to help us out.
ObservePoint is critical to your MarTech stack
- Tag presence validation - ensuring all tags are where they should be
- Journey mapping - ensuring that critical user paths are up and running, and alerting you if they ever break
- Report organization - reports can be difficult to find
- Covers a wide range of tags.
- Can easily audit site to locate pages missing tags or have obvious tag issues.
- Can create custom simulations for more detailed tag validation.
- UI for simulations is really terrible. Very hard to set up simulations due to lack of things like xpath to target page elements as well as see what the simulation sees when there are problems.
- Finding and fixing tag validation errors in simulations again is just a nightmare. Promised updates to the UI to fix this problem have been promised for months but still no improvements.
- Due to the lack of updates to correct issues and bugs we just haven't gotten nearly the value from the product we expected.
