Considered Both Products

Chose Piano Analytics
Amplitude Analytics, Google Analytics, and Mixpanel [are] tools I use[d] at the company I worked for [before].
Chose Piano Analytics
I was not involved in [the] choosing AT Internet.
Chose Piano Analytics
[AT Internet is] much easier to understand, has many options, and is a very thorough platform in general.
Chose Piano Analytics
AT Internet is more comprehensive and provides a lot of filters in easy ways, especially for websites that has various subdomains and pages used for different purposes. Also, the trend analysis and the ability to create reports and design them the way we want is very, very …
Chose Piano Analytics
I use AT Internet and Google Analytics together so I didn't have to choose between the two tools. In fact, it's a choice that is made at the group level.
We have historically used both tools for different needs. AT Internet was chosen in particular for its respect for privacy …
Chose Piano Analytics
AT Internet is much more flexible than other solutions we used. The reliability of their platform and the quality of the data is better.
Chose Piano Analytics
I have not tested any other product of this type, AT Internet was chosen by the company because it excels in its field and seems to be among the best in its class
Chose Piano Analytics
To be very honest, it was a decision made before I joined the company. I think that if I had the choice, I would prefer to use Google Analytics from a media perspective. However, it is also a question of budget as Google Analytics Premium is more expensive.
Chose Piano Analytics
We prefer AT because it's a european company, transparent about GDPR concerns, with great customer support.
Chose Piano Analytics
More complete and detailed. And we are used to it, so moving won't make any sense. You don't change a team that is winning.
Chose Piano Analytics
According to Gartner, AT Internet is one of the best web analytics solutions on the market. Adding to this, we wanted to make sure that we get a secure solution in terms of legal issues. Furthermore, when considering the pricing of AT Internet, this solution is quite …
Chose Piano Analytics
For our department we prefer to use AT Internet because we have been trained and we know the tool well. However when we create new ephemeral mini sites (which is quite rare) we may have to use Google Analytics because the solution seems simpler and faster to integrate for our …
Chose Piano Analytics
AT Internet has many advantages over both such as fully processed real-time data availability (vs. comScore/ Adobe), video and audio analytics (vs. Google) and enhanced support.
Chose Piano Analytics
I think it's everything that I wrote in previous answers combined together.
Chose Piano Analytics
AT Internet is as easy to use as GA, if not more. AT Internet has a much higher respect for user data privacy than Google does and won't use it for advertising. Data stays in Europe which, given how the US has little respect for user privacy and given how unpredictable their …
Chose Piano Analytics
The brands we work with use exclusively Mediametrie Net Rating to check the audience of the publisher's websites. Knowing AT Internet is a partner is very important for us and shows the quality of AT Internet product.
Google Analytics, even if it's used by a lot of publishers, …
Chose Piano Analytics
Actually, AT internet did not stack up against other solutions. AT Internet is very expensive comparing other solutions. There are many open-sources and free tools in the market like Matomo. So we stopped to use AT Internet.
Chose Piano Analytics
AT Internet is more comprehensive than Google Analytics. It allows you to make personalized requests, to access the API easily with high quotas. Other tools accompany the analytics solution and are included in the license. Data are also stored and processed in European Union …
Chose Piano Analytics
This was not our choice but the customer's.
Chose Piano Analytics
Easier and quicker to use than Comscore.
Smartlook
Chose Smartlook
I like it more in different aspects such as pricing, capabilities, UI, etc. When it comes to the pricing, I have been using it for many years, and always was easy to use and to see what was happening with conversions. It's the most undervaluable tool these days. When I was …
Chose Smartlook
FullStory is more complex, detailed, better-looking and way more expensive. Therefore I think it makes sense to start with Smartlook at least. FullStory also has yearly plans which is really annoying. Hotjar doesn't have browser error logging which is a huge disadvantage for …
Chose Smartlook
Smartlook is the better overall value of all the solutions we've tried. Hotjar was overpriced, Lucky Orange seems more like an experimental project than a full-fledged product and Mouselflow seems to have some problems dealing with some types of browsers that we did not …
Chose Smartlook
For me personally, I use Smartlook more for the debugging side of things, so I wish it had more debugging/error reporting features.
Chose Smartlook
Like I mentioned, Smartlook is younger than FullStory and it seems like they're trying to improve. The dashboards are lacking. I wish I had more control over what I see there instead of the standard. We use the API to determine customer name and company and I'd like to see some …
Chose Smartlook
We use both intensively in our agency. Google Analytics is our first go-to analytics suite, but we often combine it with Smartlook to prove or disprove our hypotheses. Both our web design and marketing projects benefit greatly from this synergy. Google Analytics offers better …
Chose Smartlook
For me, Smartlook gathers everything a product designer or even a product manager needs. We have everything gathered in a single platform, and it's very powerful we can analyze everything we need. It's the only product where recordings are as well done. The UX/UI of the …
Chose Smartlook
Smartlook has all the features of the other products I have tried but was both simpler to use and cheaper.
Chose Smartlook
Smartlook seems smoother than Hotjar and it also offers more customizable options such as events and funnels.
Chose Smartlook
Compared to Hotjar, the first, and most important criteria for us is the performance impact on our customers. We've always had problems with Hotjar's rather resource-intensive script, which causes a noticeable degradation even on medium to high-performance client devices. In …
Chose Smartlook
Smartlook is better in tracking events, building advanced funnels, and filtering out the sessions than Hotjar. It's definitely cheaper and more user-friendly than Fullstory.
Chose Smartlook
Smartlook is far more cost-effective and simple to use for agencies with multiple clients than Hotjar, which targets the user companies more directly.
Chose Smartlook
So much simpler to the user and way more effective. The pricing for our requirement was also much better.
Chose Smartlook
The thing about Hotjar is they became too big too fast. They forgot what their product was all about and then started to charge an exorbitant amount for what is a glorified heat map. Smartlook has taken into account new features but always kept the essence of what they're …
Chose Smartlook
At my old company, we debated using FullStory, but I believe Smartlook was the better option financially.
Chose Smartlook
100% better. Microsoft had no support at all. They directed you to a forum where other users "could" assist, but there was no assistance.
Chose Smartlook
In terms of analytics, we are still using other products, which are more suited to our needs and more complex. In terms of user behavior and session recording, this is by far the best tool there is!

When it comes to web analytics AT Internet is well suited. We introduced AT Internet in 2017 after an evaluation project with other professional analytics solutions. Starting with our corporate website we quickly rolled it out to our customer experience platform, our webshops, and our corporate intranet based on SharePoint 2013. Especially the use in our intranet brought significant improvements over the standard analytics features SP 2013 is offering. The ATI tag systems with their flexibility allow us to include company-specific properties and thus making it possible for us to analyze our intranet usage on segments such as locations, branches, and so on.

Smartlook is best for screen recordings. Especially when you are running MVPs. However, its pricing is very high. If your daily visitors are too much then either you will have to lose many of your recordings or you will have to pay too much money.

Pros
  • It assists with following the conduct of clients when we make item developments.
  • AT Internet is utilized to break down the conduct of workers on another web and Android application project.
  • It is an investigation device, that empowers us to see client ventures, screen advanced KPIs, and once again use the information for promoting purposes.
Read full review
  • Funnels are both easy to configure yet comprehensive enough to detect complicated customer journeys.
  • Real-time recording provides exceptional insights to our design & engineering teams.
  • Session recording is surprisingly lightweight and seems to cause no substantial performance degradation for our customers.

Cons
  • Not so easy to make difference between users who are inside the company and those who come from other entities.
  • Some concept such as "taux de rebond" are not so easily explained.
  • Not so easy to rename the name of the pages consulted. For instance, if I have tagged a page as "Landing Page" but afterward I feel the name as misleading, I must ask my IT to change the name (ie "Home Page") but can't do it myself.
Read full review
  • Events -- but I think this is something that we could improve ourselves in our system.
  • Create some suggestions for funnels and heatmaps.
  • Give general insights for a certain period of time, e.g. from Oct. 7th to 12th, 75 users left the checkout step and 60% of them left due to a payment issue. IDK just bringing some ideas!
  • Send an e-mail with main insights.

I gave this rating because I think that AT Internet is a good tool, user-friendly easy for onboarding and simple dashboards, however the majority of people use Google Analytics, especially media agency, it is easier for them to use Google Analytics.

As my ratings show, I have been absolutely delighted with Smartlook in terms of usability, cost, support, and its benefit to our organization. I have given it such high ratings because I think it has really benefitted our organization and I think it could do the same for other companies too.

Usability
Overall the experience is very good, it's quick, relaiable and does everything I would want. The only problems I have are matching the correct stats to what I want. It can be painful trying to find the right thing and the explanations are not always the clearest. That's the only issue i've found though.

Smartlook is very intuitive and simple for an average programmer (I don't know if it will be as simple for a normal user). We have never had to resort to looking for information on the web or ask for help for something we didn't understand or didn't work as expected.

Reliability and Availability
I don't have any exemple in mind where AT Internet interface hasn't been available, i have always been able to use AT Internet when i needed it. The only issues to notice is that it happens sometimes that real time or D-1 datas are partially delayed.

I have not used the Support Team thereby I am unable to review how their Support Teams works. However, in an instance where I had an issue, my concerned department contacted their support team and I was provided with the solution of the problem I was facing within a short span of time.

I am always very happy when a company offers the option to use online chat, as I do not like to call customer support and writing an email is just too slow and cumbersome. I did not even expect a reply right away, yet it took the customer support team less than a minute to respond to my problem.

In-Person Training
The in-person training unfortunately does not match to our expectations, was too much focus on digital basis and not on AT Internet functionnalties and how to use it. We paid for one day and only 15 minutes at the end was focused on our real needs in terms of media analytics.

Alternatives Considered
AT Internet suited our business needs at the best value. Adobe Analytics wasn't user friendly for non-technical employees, Google Analytics (free and premium) provided significant limitations in reporting and customization, and IBM Digital Analytics had limitations on the amount of API calls and dashboard reports you can create. Webtrends was very interesting, but we felt it was a lot of design without the same amount of value. None of these tools produced real-time data that could be reported on right away, some tools had data that you could view real-time but it wasn't in reports until 30 minutes later, or the closest thing to real-time was a 30-minute delay. AT Internet had a 4-minute delay which was crucial to our business needs. AT Internet also had the best recommendations for support, without a monthly service hour requirement, and with very responsive account managers.
