Supermetrics
If you are looking to pull and aggregate data from multiple sources for reporting or analytics, Supermetrics is the best option for connecting those data sources into a single table. Supermetrics is less beneficial if you report on a single data source or do not need to aggregate your data into a single source.

Cons
Lightning Tools
  • Data Viewer has a graph feature that is old school flat design. We loved the In House real 3D graph Lightning Tools program.

  • Sometimes I have to refer to the website to find which metrics are what - the names aren't always the same as the platform calls them.
  • No public data for LinkedIn.
  • Definitely requires knowledge on how to use Google Data Studio.

Lightning Tools
Lightning Tools Data Viewer is much easier and more powerful than Infowise similar viewer in their lineup. In this case, we use Data Viewer over the one offered by Infowise.

Supermetrics
Supermetrics is better because of its ease of use and it mirrors most of the metrics on ad platforms. For some similar reporting platforms, metrics are often called something slightly different or are not able to pull the same data as presented on the ad platform; Supermetrics is the closest you'll get to exact data alignment.
