    IBM analytics has continued to improve upon the days of being the original core metrics. After using the updated version for quite some time, it has been great at providing the needed analytics to measure ROI and goal performance for our quarterly KPI's. It has resulted in a great increase in web engagements although we are a midsize company, smaller outfits may not need such an expensive option.

    it is a very helpful tool. Now I can just copy and paste the text and find out if it is plagiarizing. I can use it to check my emails to avoid any embarrassment. In the future, I want to use it to check essay content in other languages.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • IBM CXA comprises an acquisition called Tealeaf. This tool has deep heritage and this is evident in its present-day capabilities.
    • The Universal Behaviour Exchange or UBX puts the concept of personalisation at the forefront. The ability to combine physical (analog) and digital transactions to create the complete picture of a customer journey, is a stand out benefit.
    • The solution does not have to involve the purchase of software. IBM CXA can be sold as a service bundled with analytics as a service. This not only lowers the cost of ownership, it gets around one of the principal issues. Strong staff with design and analytical capability to drive the solution and deliver tangible benefits.
    • The seamless integration of Watson AI services to help with the heavy lifiting. Watson reinforces the analytical focus this solution has and can learn to recognise situations specific to a company.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • The user interface is in Flash, which can be very frustrating and slow at times. Apparently, this is to be transitioned in a future release.
    • Can only segment the last 93 days of data. Any historical segmentation beyond the 93 days must be run in Explore (which is credit based, and has its own limitations with the number of credits per month, based on the initial contract with IBM).
    • Reports can only display 93 days of data at a given time for custom date ranges. There are pre-programmed date ranges setup with IBM during implementation (last week, last month, last quarter etc.), but are not flexible enough to answer more specific questions.
    • Certain reports cannot have segments applied, making answering some simple questions a bit more tricky. For example, I can create a segment around mobile devices and apply it to the marketing channels report, but I can't create a marketing channel segment and apply it to the mobile reports.
    • Built in API calls allows for nice report design and automation.

    • Despite being fast, the checks are not completely accurate or thorough
    • The monthly checks are limited even for the paid version
    • There is no option to make live changes and the entire modified content must be pasted again to determine its accuracy
    • Cannot be used on the go as it works only on a desktop/laptop

    IBM Digital Analytics is a great solution for our clients and I believe they offer the best solution for the retail space. We have access to IBM support via email or live chat and they can answer many of the reporting questions that come up. IBM is receptive to our feedback of the product so I am confident they will continue making improvements

    As reports are templated, the system is pretty quick. Sometimes you have to wait a bit for a report to render. Or you might have to re-load the page. But there is no real issue here and the system is on par with other similar systems.

    Overall, the level of support is very good and I would say it is a strong asset of the solution. However, you can sometimes feel that there is a difference of level among the support team.

    Online training is really great. One of the best assets that they have. Lots of great videos, pop quizzes at the end of each module. Fantastic. Other tools have similar features, but not as good.

    Much of the work we did in IBM Digital Analytics could have been answered through Google Analytics, a much simpler, agile and FREE solution set. Not mention, given the vast number of Google Analytics USERS, free and actionable support is simply a click away ... this compared to IBM Digital Analytics fractured and often absent support service.

    • We spend too much time trying to work around bugs on the new UI.
    • We spend too much time trying to figure out how to make certain segments work because support and the knowledge center are lackluster.
    • Our sales rep is very unresponsive and leaves us searching for a lot of answers on our own, including what other products we may benefit from that IBM offers.

    • Paper Rater is like a writing assistant that not only checks your grammar but also gives you comprehensive feedback on your writing.
    • I was able to use Paper Rater to check for plagiarism in mine. However, given Paper Rater's more academic approach, it offers a much more robust engine for this. For example, you will get an overall originality score and links to sources for copied material.
