This is my first experience with a tool like Agency Analytics because I don't have a digital marketing background. My background is in sales, but I quickly realized that Agency Analytics is a selling point for prospective and existing clients. We also use Ahrefs and Semrush, …

We identified Agency Analytics as the most well-rounded software for our agency’s needs. The platform was reasonably priced and included integrations for SEO, paid search, paid social, and organic social. Having reporting and tools for all major marketing channels will be …

Chose Agency Analytics
Agency Analytics is a great value. It offers enough tools and features that are very useful, and it's a more affordable platform than other similar tools. It is missing some key depth in both SEO and reporting, which is a shame. It does do a much better job at bring digital …

We still use BrightLocal to build citations and show our clients their Google My Business ranking placement. However, I like Agency Analytics better for their website ranking tool. I also like that Agency Analytics allows us to add clients as users to their campaign. Overall, I …

We stopped using Raventools because the report rendering was ridiculously slow.
Chose Agency Analytics
I've used MOZ fairly extensively and I've found Agency Anaytics overall is a better tool for managing and monitoring keywords and SEO improvement opportunities. It's easy to use, quick to set up and less expensive than MOZ.
Chartbeat
Chose Chartbeat
We use Chartbeat in conjuction with these tools. Chartbeat is forward facing and we encourage everyone in the newsroom to use it. It provides the best live view, but lacks depth needed for more longer-term trend reporting and analysis. Domo allows much more advanced data …
Chose Chartbeat
Google Analytics 360 had problems, but after it was discontinued, Google Analytics became a shell of its former self. An added benefit of Chartbeat is that it's more "live" (looking at live concurrents rather than in the past however many minutes) and tells you how that number …
Chose Chartbeat
Chartbeat gives data in real time while Google has an analysis time. Furthermore, the tool is much easier and more intuitive to use.

O Chartbeat dá o dado em temporeal enquanto o Google tem um tempo de análise. Além disso, a ferramenta é de manuseio muito mais fácil e intuitiva.
Chose Chartbeat
Much easier to use and understand than GA4. We tested Marfeel, but felt Chartbeat was so good there was no reason to change.

I still feel like our audit is still based on GA4 so we do have to still pay attention to that.
Chose Chartbeat
Chartbeat's heads up display feature allows the newsroom to see key data right from our site.
Chose Chartbeat
We use Chartbeat for real-time evaluation and Adobe Analytics for longer-term performance reporting. Chartbeat is easier to use overall, particularly for content producers. Researchers tend to rely on Adobe Analytics for their reports. We have found that we need to keep using …

Google Analytics has gradually become much more difficult to use, and much slower in its realtime reporting. It was the changes that came in with Google Analytics 4 that gave us the final push to work with Chartbeat - a product some of us were already familiar with from …
Chose Chartbeat
Omnilytics is more robust, detailed, and catered for an intermediate media user, while I think Chartbeat is a more user-friendly and beginner-oriented piece of technology. That being said, there is an impressive amount of lift for Chartbeat, and it's evident that simplicity is …
Chose Chartbeat
I used Parse.ly before I used Chartbeat. We shifted away from Parse.ly because it's social standing wasn't as good, it was mostly for site readership and we needed a bigger concentration on social media that Parse.ly couldn't provide. It's not listed, but we now use Social Flow …
Chose Chartbeat
Chartbeat stands out in terms of real-time tracking and information from which to manage homepages, I found this better than Smart Octo's equivalent. However, the ability to quickly explore past data does not go as deep as Google Analytics.
Chose Chartbeat
I really haven't used anything else quite like Chartbeat. Google Analytics might compare but it is very different.
Chose Chartbeat
Chartbeat is better than GA when it comes to ease of use and immediacy. The homepage layover that Chartbeat offers is unique from what I've seen and gives me an instant knowledge of what's working on my site and how to best arrange it.
Chose Chartbeat
Other products like Chartbeat that I've used are Parse.ly, GA, and Omniture. Parse.ly is the only tool, in my opinion, that offers more real-time data, but the interface is lacking and isn't as intuitive as Chartbeat.
Chose Chartbeat
My company selected Chartbeat after we were acquired by a bigger company. Initially I missed the Parse.ly interface, but I have since adjusted.
Chose Chartbeat
Chartbeat is a lot easier to use.
Chose Chartbeat
Chartbeat is better for live metrics than either Adobe or Google, but Adobe Omniture especially is much better for tracking historic numbers.
Chose Chartbeat
Chartbeat is certainly better at visualizing content and segmenting the data all on one screen. We can filter by section, author, channel and more without leaving the main dashboard page. Combining properties together in roll up groups is another key feature. We're able to …

It is well suited to keeping me toward a specified goal, and gives me concrete numbers and gives me an idea of what we need to do to meet our goals. It's less appropriate if you want something more than pageviews, and doesn't really do a lot for video views.

Cons
  • Would like to see the stars feature to bring keywords to the top of the report have 1 click to remove all stars that were checked off previously.
  • Would love to have a feature to track how clients are ranking for keywords; currently only shows the # of keywords ranking in the top 10 positions of Google but doesn't show the actual keywords for each competitor.
  • Would extremely love to see a feature where the keywords can be viewed/filtered by position; for example page 1 of Google only, page 2 of Google only.
  • Would love to see a keyword tool to check keyword rankings or search volume for specific keywords; similar to Google's keyword planner.

  • Source of traffic needs improvement. Search and social make sense, but "internal" and "links" is a grey area. It would be helpful to define those with an organization and provide an information icon so users can easily remember what each of those buckets is tracking.
  • More ways to customize the real-time board. For example, with video content, that's great that I can see a user has started a video, but what is the completion rate, was that only on O&O or can that track Facebook, too?
  • Would like to see demo (age) information included as a way to slice the data so I can see what's working with my older and younger demo.

I gave Chartbeat a 5 for a renewal rating, because, while it delivers clear and understandable content, Google Analytics also provides many of the same features for free. For a small to medium website, I believe it would be more cost effective to use Google Analytics. A website with a high amount of traffic, however, could merit spending the money on Chartbeat to maximize their potential.

Usability
No answers on this topic
Chartbeat is really pretty straightforward. The only things that may cause confusion are the string of sidebar features and tools at the left of the screen. I mostly use the big leader board in real-time and the historical feature (looking at the monthly or weekly performance of my team's content) and then generate reports automatically from there.

They are always on top/ahead of the curve. There has never been a time where I haven't had the platform work professionally when I needed it. They stand behind a top-quality product. It's easy to support something when they put hard work into development and maintenance.

I have had limited experience of support for Chartbeat but whenever I have needed help it has been there. Recently there was an issue of seeing different forms of data in real time - app and otherwise effectively, and the issue was being clearly dealt with and communicated back to us.

The software has a very professional format, which gives it an edge over other competitors. Agency Analytics also facilitates the black-link management for SEO purposes, which is again a good thing. My customers have seen the dashboard of Agency Analytics and because the depth of information is so powerful and impactful, it convinced them to hire us as their marketing team. Agency Analytics also comes up with substantial SEO and other competitive analysis solutions that make it more preferable for the end-users.

Google Analytics has gradually become much more difficult to use, and much slower in its realtime reporting. It was the changes that came in with Google Analytics 4 that gave us the final push to work with Chartbeat - a product some of us were already familiar with from previous jobs. Things are just much harder to find in GA, and when time is always tight you can't afford to spend a long time looking for particular data - it should be quick and easy to locate
