Google Analytics is perhaps the best-known web analytics product and, as a free product, it has massive adoption. Although it lacks some enterprise-level features compared to its competitors in the space, the launch of the paid Google Analytics Premium edition seems likely to close the gap.

GoSquared acts as an end-to-end tool taking care of most of the needs of the organizations unlike most of the competitors. Even while covering a vast scenario, GoSquared handles all the tasks pretty well.
GoSquared is easier and more intuitive to use, also less advanced but it offers enough functionality for most websites. It can be used in conjunction with more advanced tools.

For realtime analytics, GoSquare is my go to pick since it does it really well and is very simple to use. The dashboard is also really great to show the team analytics of our website at a glance.
