Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why.
We have a site where we have 19 Million page views a month. In order to understand the customer journey on a monthly, quarterly, and YOY we use Adobe Analytics. It helps understand the entire user journey and thus enabling us to gather insights on areas to focus on. It is so far the easiest to use and user-friendly web analytics tool I have used.
The representation of numbers and graphs is very smooth and helps download the entire report in CSV or pdfs also allowing us to automate the report and send it on regular intervals to our emails with the least amount of effort compared to any other tool on web analytics.

- Data Gathering
- Data Cleaning

- Documentations and videos for learning - The content on the web for adobe analytics are limited or hard to find this can be improved.
- The use of funnel attribute seems tough , it is hard to find quality learning material for it.
- The real time report - We need to have a method how we can put the real time report on a web page that can give us our metics similar to a web page of share and SIP

As an analytics agency, we practice Adobe Analytics and provide support to our clients for both implementation and reporting purposes. I am a member of the marketing analytics support division of our organization that works extensively with Adobe Analytics. Adobe Analytics helps to measure acquisition, behavior and conversion of digital traffic on websites, mobile sites and apps. It also helps to understand digital customer journeys in detail.
- Analytics Workspace is a very handy self service tool for analyzing and generating insights from clickstream data
- The anomaly detection feature helps understand abnormal web traffic activity
- Helps to get a great view of the customer journeys
- Good array of visualization options but can have more customization for some common use cases
- The log in process takes too much time sometimes and has scope for improvement
- The behavior flow report needs to be in a more readable format and should have some more options to customize

Adobe Analytics is used to track our website traffic as well as client website traffic in a simpler way than Google Analytics does. Adobe Analytics takes complex data, simplifies it, and shows you exactly what you want to see in extremely 'pretty to look at' reports that can be fully customized.
- Alerts you when there are anomalies in your analytics.
- Ties into your CRM.
- The Data is journey focused/goal focused.
- It's prettier than Google Analytics and easier to use (for beginners).
- Definitely not as mainstream as Google Analytics.
- Somehow it doesn't always match our analytics correctly.
- There is quite a bit of setup work involved to make sure it works right.

Adobe Analytics is used across our entire organization but the tool is managed by a single department, digital marketing. Adobe Analytics allows us to measure web activity and track online success through our website.
- Advanced features that allow you to drill down into the details
- Intuitive to use
- Constant improvements to the tool
- Some of the legacy sections are not as intuitive (mainly located in the admin section)
- Because it is advanced, many users cannot pick up on it quickly

Adobe Analytics tool is being used by multiple different departments in our organization. From marketing to digital support teams. Personally I use it for our company's digital products monitoring and performance analysis. The tool is perfect for setting up conversion funnels and monitoring performance and error spikes on the sites and mobile apps.
- Multiple different data analysis options: Conversion funnel, flow chart, fallout and etc.
- Large variety of different metrics and dimensions.
- Event segmentation is very intuitive and helpful when trying to break down data for specific product.
- Online work-space works slower than "ad hoc" desktop tool.
- Also data limitations could be improved so it would capture data for whole month.

Adobe Analytics is how our Marketing team receives data about customer interactions with our various product offerings. We pair this product with DTM/Launch to customize the data when needed. This data helps other teams make decisions on product offerings, user interface, and design. Data is imperative to these decisions when building with the customer in mind.
- Very customizable.
- Easy exports.
- No limitations on filtering data like Google Analytics.
- It is dev dependent.
- Building extensions for launch could be easier.
- It’s expensive for smaller companies.
Our parent company used it for all the newspapers. It enables our Editorial department to understand what stories are popular and where the traffic is coming from. It also provides us with data about our traffic trend and the behavior of the audience.
- Report Builder -- it enables you to build custom reports for distribution.
- Dashboards -- it enables you to build custom dashboards for our editors.
- It allows prebuilt custom reports by site levels.
- Visualizations tools are limited.
- The learning curve is steep.
- It would be nice if only one master dashboard is needed and can filter by individual editors.
Our internal analytics team uses Adobe Analytics to support clients who wish to evaluate site or media performance to inform marketing campaigns. It helps us understand how much traffic a given website is getting, what those visitors are doing on those sites, as well as what tactics drive people there. It helps us also understand how much key content on a site is resonating with visitors, in order to drive optimizations to that content over time.
- Enables end-to-end view of digital performance.
- Integrates well with other Adobe products for deeper data views and insights.
- Harder to teach others how to use than Googles Analytics.
- Implementation requires more technical expertise.

I lead a digital analytics practice with extensive experience in implementing and adopting Adobe Analytics for several Fortune 500 organizations. Using Adobe Analytics, we help our clients measure the performance of their digital campaigns and understand customer experience
- Campaign analytics
- Vizualization
- Easy break down across custom and standard dimension.
- Tools for automated testing and bench marking with other data sources.
- Remove limitations on custom dimensions and events.
- Make raw data extracts more intuitive.

Adobe Analytics is being used by our Marketing and IT departments. It is a great tool to collect data about our student visitors who are applying for the school. The collected data is usually easy to interpret and allows the marketing team to make decisions for the organization's marketing automation strategy. Adobe analytics became more useful for our time during the COVID19 since we are now doing everything virtually
- Easy to set up and great for monitoring our website. Solid platform used to analyze data.
- Great built-in reporting system.
- Easy integration with other Adobe cloud tools.
- Useful charts and summaries
- Provide tutorials on how to use the platform for beginners.
- Costly solution compared to other analytic tools. Charge by the number of licenses.
- Must be used with other marketing suits to get the most of it.
Adobe Analytics is our main source of data when it comes to understanding our customers and their needs. This is also our main data source to keep track of the health of the site and usage of the site. Its used by almost every department in my organization either directly or indirectly. When I say indirectly, it means they get to see the data we share from Adobe but they might not be hands-on pulling their own insights. This tool really helps us understand the customer journey across OMNI channel. Since we own full suite of Adobe tools, we can gather data even before our customers land on our site. We get data in Analytics from our SEM, display channels, and then when they are on the site, and any transaction they perform in our branches through the CRM.
- Very easy-to-use interface
- Flexible implementation options
- Capable of in-depth analysis
- Lots of places to learn about the tool if you are a new user
- We might get an error in a dashboard that was working fine a minute ago and support will ask us tons of questions even when we provide them the error code that we were told to submit with the ticket
- Updates of the tools happen in middle of the business days. Please do updates on weekends or at night when no one is using it.

Initially, Adobe Analytics was used in the eBusiness department & we've since incorporated it across the organization. We have also introduced it to other partner organizations in various parts of the country. Data is being used to drive decision-making across all 8 of our business lines & marketing. Our partner organizations are independent organizations that are now leveraging our knowledge & experience to drive their decision-making.
- Love the ability to drop & drag data to answer business questions.
- Ability to dynamically create meaningful visualizations that help to tell the story behind the data.
- Customization of metrics & segments using both out-of-the-box elements along with our data & third-party data.
- In some visualizations, it isn't possible to edit labels which can be confusing to some audiences.
- Building customized metrics can be challenging at times, especially very involved calculations.
- Schedule maintenance & updates during low volume times.

Adobe Analytics is used across all websites in our organization's 20+ sites, including our company's main website and smaller sites related to training, ecommerce, help, forums, campaign sites and subsidiaries. It helps us gain insights into the efficacy of our customer journeys and to take action to improve our websites. Using the insights, we can determine whether we are on the right track for our goals, whether they are related to demand generation or community-building.
- Workspace is simple to use and has an intuitive interface that allows users to get insights quickly
- There are multiple ways to export the data, if that is a requirement
- User Management is more clunky after it was moved from Analytics to the Experience Cloud
- Data Feed interface is not intuitive - relies too much on filters instead of showing the job data on the screen

Adobe Analytics is being used across multiple departments at our company. This particular program provides a solution for those wondering who, what, where, when, and why. Analytics, regardless of the provider, is something that every company should use in order to make smart business decisions about what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen in the future. Being able to track users and their journey on a decision-making process provides valuable insights into what different departments are doing well and what they could be doing better.
- The ability to customize.
- How easy it is to implement.
- Integration with other Adobe products and services.
- Cost is the #1 con for small businesses compared to other options on the market.
- Getting newer users up to speed can take some time.
- The ability to alter the Dashboard more would be something I would love to see.

Adobe Analytics is primarily used just within our Digital department, but I believe we are continuing to expand usage to other arms of our organization. The biggest advantage to it is that it is part of the Adobe Experience Cloud and seamlessly integrates with Adobe Experience Manager, Adobe Campaign, and Adobe Target. Our analytics team uses it extensively to create reports that are tied to email campaigns, Target activities, etc. It allows us to create segments of data that are mapped to activities in our other Adobe products. Aside from this, of course, it also can be used for basic analytical data of things like page views, visitors/visits for a page, page path, and so forth.
- Integration with other Adobe Experience Cloud products
- Segmentation
- Page path reports
- Steep learning curve
- Just getting a "basic" report can be cumbersome
- Some of the useful features are too limited
November 27, 2020
Adobe Analytics is a part of our subscription to the Adobe Experience cloud platform, which we leverage across our entire organization. As expected, the platform is utilized most heavily by sales (e-commerce), web production, and marketing. The goal is to get reliable information about a customer's journey on the website, increase our sales conversion rate, and properly measure and attribute the impact of marketing dollars. At this stage, that ultimate goal is not 100% possible to achieve with just Adobe Analytics, but we're getting there.
- Very intuitive yet powerful interface
- Many ways to slice and dice data with segments, calculated metrics, and attribution models
- Great integration with other Adobe tools and a possibility to bring outside data into Adobe Analytics
- The performance sometimes needs to be better
- Would love to see advanced options--a way to customize UI/UX significantly to present info to stakeholders in a simplified, easy to digest manner.
- Expensive and curtained, so that community is much smaller than that of GA and harder to get information
Adobe Analytics is the primary tool we use at Cadence. Provides us the accurate numbers. It helps us make business decisions using the web analytics. The Adobe Analytics workspace comes handy when we need to make quick decisions or when we want to work on a smaller project. I believe we will keep using Adobe Analytics. It is a powerful tool as well, which makes our work easier. I guess it's used by multiple departments. I'm not sure enough.
- It has a easy and a flexible UI for quick analysis or projects. It just takes me few minutes to build the dashboards and analyze. Hence, saves my time.
- I personally like the flow charts. It makes my work easier
- It helps me track various metrics across various regions and languages
- Easier when compared to Google Analytics
- It does not provide autosave option.
- Cannot create customized charts in the workspace.
- Takes longer time to log in and load

Adobe Analytics is used to understand user behavior on our websites and mobile apps, and performance of marketing campaigns.
- Customization options.
- Integration of other data sources.
- Poor customer support.
- Documentation could be better.

Adobe analytics was a game changer used to replace Google Analytics. This platform is incredible because it gives you all the bells and whistles that your higher tech customers are asking for, and the details needed for your internal users to not just do their jobs but do their jobs well. This helped us solve the issue of under-performing on analytic data.
- Output - The dashboards are gorgeous and easy to understand.
- Analytic Tracking - The areas you want to target can be big picture or incredibly minute depending on what you want to track.
- Ramp Up - The end user can quickly be on-boarded to this tool because of the ease of use.
- Cost - You are paying an arm and a leg for this platform.
- Dashboard Editing - There are small ways you can edit the dashboard, but I wish the end user had more control.
- Live update sharing - I wish there was a client portal that could be set up so my team didn't have to manually pull the data for them and the customer could just log in. This may be a thing, but I haven't stumbled onto it.
Adobe Analytics is used by almost everyone on my team on a daily basis. We work with many clients who use AA as their primary reporting source, and we both consult with them on best practices on how to use the tool, as well as execute our own analysis within the tool.
- Integrates extremely well with Adobe Target.
- Clean interface with excellent usability, without sacrificing features (although this mainly applies to the Discover platform in my opinion, which is being sunset pretty soon).
- Easily the most robust reporting tool I have used personally.
- In my opinion, the largest con will be stopping support and functionality for Discover (aka Ad Hoc Analysis).
- Ad Hoc is DRASTICALLY better than what we will be forced into moved towards (Workspace) in just about every aspect. It's cleaner, clearer, smoother, etc. Workspace will be the new norm shortly, but it's extremely clunky and can be much slower due to its webpage interface (as opposed to Discover's app interface).
- The technical support from Adobe is less than stellar; while the tools themselves are near the top of the list, in our experience, Adobe's help and support is easily dead last. They are rarely punctual, knowledgeable, or particularly helpful, and often try to place the blame on the customer (e.g. your implementation is out of date), without providing assistance to help remedy.

We use Adobe Analytics to measure key website metrics. Insights from the metrics are shared across the company including marketing, finance and strategy. We are able to identify which channels and campaigns are more effective than others. Also we run multiple A/B tests on form designs and locations to optimize the website performance.
- We setup very specific segments to figure out which customer segments are responding better for specific campaigns.
- Adobe Analytics can track customers across multiple sites using customer IDs, which are very useful.
- Its data visualization capacity is very strong.
- There is no built-in bot traffic filtering functionality so we had to manually build a segment for that.
- It would be nice if there is a dynamic alert for an unusual data patterns

Adobe Analytics is being used by several groups in the organization. Until recently, we were using it mainly for marketing campaigns and web reporting. We have put more resources into e-commerce and web development in the last year or so, and Adobe Analytics is now to main analytics tool to support IT development efforts for the web.
- Dashboard reports are easy to put together and share.
- Integration w/ Adobe experience platform makes it easy to share segments/audiences to other tools.
- Very powerful insight generating analysis tool.
- Segmentation is a breeze!
- Activity Map is less than stellar. Adobe currently doesn't have a good heatmap tool so would need 3rd party integration.
- While Analysis Workspace is amazing, the older Reports and Analytics interface is rather limited. There are a few reporting in the old interface that I am eager for Adobe to move to Analysis Workspace.
- Limit of 400 lines of data in the Analysis Workspace. Usually, we don't need that much data in a report so it's not a deal-breaker, as you just to have to go into Data Warehouse to get a raw data export of all lines, but it would be nice to have the option in Analysis Workspace
- Adobe Target reporting until recently caused us some issues, although the latest update may have fixed this when they rolled out Target reporting as a panel in Analysis Workspace.
My group serves Toyota for all their web analytics and we use Adobe Analytics to store our data and we do our analysis off this data.
- Provides methods to access the data
- Uptime surrounding the products
- Has resources available to address training, consulting, etc
- Technical support
- Results not being the same across platforms
- Pricing
October 01, 2020
Adobe Analytics is primarily used by our product, sales and marketing departments. It has primarily helped us to better understand our customers, across the multiple channels through which they gain access to our services and through which we interact with them - website, mobile applications and via email campaigns. By helping us collect the right data from the above channels, we are able to have a better understanding of our customers and map out ways to make them happier, while consolidating on the things our Adobe Analytics data shows us to be doing right.
- Its user interface is intuitive and user friendly. I am very much concerned about this because of my experiences using other analytics software programs in time past, wherein I always had issues navigating the programs due to poor user interfaces.
- I think its easy-to-navigate user interface enables me to work more efficiently and faster.
- Adobe Analytics makes it easy to measure and track our click rates across multiple sales channels.
- Smooth integration with other Adobe software programs such as Adobe Campaigns, has helped our experience with Adobe Analytics become a lot richer.
- I also think there isn’t an adequate tutorial for beginners. I found it difficult getting help outside of my organization in the early days of my using Adobe Analytics, thus I couldn’t do things differently from everyone else in my department.
- The upload time for real-time data on Adobe Analytics is way too slow for me.
- I have had to rely on our developers for the core uses of this program. I think it can be more non-developer friendly,

Adobe Analytics is crucial to understanding e-commerce performance and provides great insight into user behavior and KPIs. We are able to identify key channels that drive our business and also detect areas of opportunity. We use Adobe Analytics to identify pain points in the customer journey so we can optimize and improve the user experience. Understanding segments of users and how they interact with the site has guided our business and decision making to put the customer first.
- Flexibility to create new reports to align with business needs.
- Many visualization options for reporting—quick and easy.
- Reporting UI is clean and simple, especially for beginner users.
- Price can be very steep for smaller companies but worth it if you have the resources to utilize the tool to it's fullest.
- Limit of 400 lines of data in the Analysis Workspace. You don't usually need that much but for some tasks, it would be nice to get all rows of data without having to export data for every 400 rows or use a data warehouse. It would be nice to have the option in Analysis Workspace like Ad Hoc Analysis had before it was deprecated.
- Powerful but can be overwhelming for new users. Need a simple learning course to get new users started.
- More flexibilty with dashboards when logging into Adobe Analytics would be nice.
