We have been using Adobe Analytics for almost a year now. We had a problem with inconsistent data flow in our data warehouse. All the data was there, but it was all over the place. Adobe Analytics made the data more measurable and meaningful for management. Management can now look at their relevant data and make more informed and quick decisions.
  • Reporting.
  • Integration with other tools.
  • Native functions like sorting, eliminate duplicates and troubleshooting of data.
Great integrations with all tools, e.g., CRMs. Great Rest APIs, which allow us to connect to all customized apps. Forecasting and segmentation are great tools to work with. They save us so much time and resources.

I am a consultant who helps clients with their Adobe Analytics through implementation and use of the tool. I teach them what it can do and help them get the most out of it.
  • Very flexible reporting in workspace.
  • Flexibility in data structure.
  • Flexibility in data allocation.
  • Building advanced segments simply.
Adobe democratizes the data. Workspace is very flexible and it's very powerful. Adobe launch is also fantastic at providing flexible options at connecting that data. This leaves us with clear ideas of what the data is and how to see it. The flexibility in building out dashboards in a clear way is empowering.

We were able to simply follow project progress and do basic analytics using our phones thanks to its mobile application. It helps us comprehend each touchpoint in the user journey inside our UI experience on a deeper level. With Adobe Analytics, you can react swiftly to shifting market conditions and grab opportunities as they present themselves.
  • The ability to input data from several sources makes it incredibly convenient.
  • It's crucial that this platform makes it easy for me to comprehend user behavior.
  • It offers comprehensive insights on the functionality of websites and applications.
Along with this data preparedness, Adobe Analytics resolves several issues about data-driven choices and data manipulation. It's been beneficial and has improved the deliverables we make for our clients. We saw a double-digit percentage point improvement in conversion rates because of AA. Large datasets are easily visualized in a shorter amount of time.

Adobe Analytics is my "go to" tool when analysing websites, creating dashboards & undertaking discovery work. We do have other analytics tools available, but Adobe Analytics' Workspace module is generally the starting point. It enables me to quickly drag 'n' drop dimensions and metrics while initially exploring the data. Subsequently, I tend to remain on Adobe Analytics to create any required scheduled dashboards using its selection of tables and visuals. I feel Adobe Analytics better allows me to "analyse" whereas some other tools are more set up for basic "reporting".
  • Usability of its Workspace module
  • Ability to crunch large numbers without any sampling issues
  • Reliability - very rarely does anything error
Adobe Analytics is better than some other tools as it feels better set up for actual "analysis", rather than simply "reporting". The power of Workspace allows you to drag 'n' drop at ease which makes you are far more in control of your own analysis/discovery/exploration.

However, regards the final reports and dashboards' look 'n' feel the Workspace PDF output is lacking visually compared to other products like Google's Looker. To engage with less technical end users sometimes Looker feels the better, more polished option.

We are looking for:
1. How visitors to our site behave on our site
2. If we spend $$ on ad campaigns, we need to see their effectiveness
3. Always looking for ways to improve our site so that we can get users into our funnel and convert them into custotmers
4. To ensure that our site stays complaint with data privacy
  • measures KPI - and it's easy to interpret and understand
  • i can easily customize my dashboard to focus on what i need to see at any given time
  • if i'm running a promotion, i can see real time analytics
I thought that Adobe Analytics was just a more expensive version of Google Analytics. But I realized that they're really not the same at all, and in some cases, both are needed. One REPORTS, one ANALYSIZES. and Analysis is super important. So, I really think that there's no comparison to what each tool does. And each is needed when trying to stay ahead of the competition and being self-reflective and willing to change up the UI and UX to keep customers coming back.

So we are a pretty high volume reference website, so the goals for us are probably a little bit different than somebody who might be e-commerce. Typically people come and rely on us for looking up definitions and synonyms. It's really our bread and butter between the dictionary and the source side. So from a business point of view, obviously that is our mission. We want to be a resource for education and for literacy from a business standpoint. We are largely ad-supported so that's a primary source of revenue. We think about ways to optimize the page to be able to try to get people to spend more time going to different pages. You know, like another big reference site. Wikipedia is famous for getting people going down Wikipedia rabbit holes. So we'd love to be doing the same stuff for etymology and words you know, things to get people to spend a little bit more time on the page.

From an analytics standpoint, we're using Adobe Analytics in a few ways. One is tracking KPIs, tracking revenue, tracking performance. We have certain ads that are getting low viewability and we need to make some tweaks and adjustments on it. We also love to use our Adobe Analytics as just part of general research.

For the content team, it's often the case that there are stories within the data that we find. A really good example of that recently for us was we just had our Word Of The Year towards the end of last year which is always a fun time of year for us. And we chose the word "woman" as the word of the year. And the big reason we did was that we looked at the data and there were a few of these key events where the very definition of the word woman became a pretty major story. You know, a bigger one was Ketanji Brown Jackson, who was confirmed to the Supreme Court. Somebody asked her, "can you define woman?" She, in a legal context, didn't try to provide the exact definition. But when that happened, as a dictionary, searches soared, searches went over by a factor of about 14 what they usually are. We saw it happen a few other times in the year, too. Just related to certain events with trans rights being at the forefront of so many things. That definition of woman has really become this flash point. It did come down to the data for us because the more we looked at it, the more of an obvious pick it was. But we do love when we can do things like that. Oftentimes some really interesting stories surface just in the words that people look up and how those change over time.
  • They've been really an industry standard tool in analytics for a long, long time. They've got the trusted brand and the reputation, a wonderful community behind it. It is always nice, having that level of support where you can meet other practitioners. It's a great benefit because I can meet other people who have already pushed the tool a lot farther than I have. And it's a great place to get ideas in that way. We came from a world where we were running on a homegrown system that we'd use to do click tracking. You get some advantages on that of the customization, but losing out on community of support was one of the big reasons why we decided to move beyond that and implement Adobe Analytics instead.
Where it's particularly well suited, figuring out just the ins and outs of how we drive traffic to certain editorial articles that we're using. That Word Of The Year was a good example of that. We have a team of lexicographers that a few times a year put out collections of new entries. The thing about a dictionary is even in the old days when it was just print dictionaries, the day it goes into print is the day it starts going out of date. It really just has to constantly be updated. So we have a lot of good content that comes from the lexicographers team about which words are getting updates and why that is. We try to put some thought based on influence and how they organize their queue. If they find words that are particularly high volume, that might be a good reason to kind of get that up in the work queue, relative to where something else might be. For example, I know the team got really excited recently. Only the kind of thing a lexicographer can get excited about, but the word "at" can now be a verb because of all the use in Twitter of "Don't at me." So they added a separate entry for "at" to be a verb. That's just one of those words that you never even think about. So they got real jazzed about it.

So with using the tool, we love using it to spark ideas and to dig up ideas. It's testing our own performance. For example, we had to make some changes to our crossword last year, so we were keeping a very close eye on session duration and how long people were taking. And that time on duration, Adobe Analytics has it set up in the reporting. You can do it kind of bucketed into groups or you kind of run your straight average, which is helpful because that sort of data, you always have some wonky outliers that can skew it. So I find it really helpful to be able to show that distribution because if you take something like our crossword puzzle and games, that's something where we hope people can come play word games and learn, but obviously there are ads going along the side, too. We want to maximize that time. We use the tool to see if we've made these changes - is time going up or down - and we can adjust based on that.

The main purpose of Adobe Analytics is how better you understand your customer and how better you provide your service to your customer. That is the main goal, at least from my point of view. So in order to do that, first thing is you just understand how your users are coming, through which channel marketing channel they're visiting your website, how much time they're spending, what kind of products they're looking at on your site, are they're happy with your products, the UI design, and finally are they purchasing your products? That's sort of the main goal.
  • Reporting-wise, I think Adobe Analytics workspace analysis is a very powerful tool in terms of reporting. It provides very good insights and this is well integrated with the other Adobe products like Target Audience Manager and the content creation. So it's a good product to use.
Any customer, any enterprise that has an online presence and wants to target the audience online - definitely Adobe Analytics is the one. Adobe Analytics is not that mature when handling heavy e-commerce sites. That's where Tealium is good at, in terms of tag management implementation. So that's where I think Adobe Analytics should improve because Tealium handles heavy customizations or heavy e-commerce sites when compared to Adobe Analytics. I think that is the area where they have to focus on.

The company uses it to understand the behavior and the performance of our acquisition efforts. In my team, in experimentation, we use it to slice and dice all of the experiment data.
  • It's very customizable, so that means that the depth of analysis we're able to make in Adobe Analytics, we wouldn't get anywhere near with Google Analytics or other solutions that say that they play in the same space.
For a colleague, it's always 10. Outside of the company, that's also a 10, but you need to understand that this is enterprise-level software. So at least in Romania, I think we have two or three companies that leverage the Adobe Suite, and that's because of the cost, not of the product itself. It's very hard for us to also hire people because of that. So unless you work for those two or three companies, you can't learn. You need to actually be able to access this and there's no demo count, like in Google's case, for example.

I think more than ever, our organization is trying to become more data-driven. Just because you're tracking data doesn't mean you're data-driven. So we have a huge effort this year that I'm personally working on to kind of bring together and leverage the Adobe Analytics tool as one of the tools that we use out of probably about 15 different things that we track metrics in. But I'm bringing on a piece of software that actually brings in all that data into one view, one dashboard that'll have the whole health of your pages or your product. And it's just a couple of clicks, right? But with Adobe Analytics obviously being our main tracking tool, it will allow us to start surfacing some of those insights and be able to start moving quicker in regards to what we see out of the tracking to really push it to the software engineers to implement. So really just teaching and changing an organization's mindset of data-driven - just because you can report something out, it's like, what actions do we need to take from that data?

Right now there are some issues with it just released a little while ago, multifactor authentication for our account manager. So some folks were having issues with that the other day that it wasn't coming into their email. Then we had some issues in the code where we were locking them out of their account. So I actually talked to Adobe yesterday about it and they're going to get someone to come help us.

But just stuff like that, for example, are you a problem? Like that comes in because we see a dip or increase right? Rate of something, whatever we were tracking and we're like, okay, that's an anomaly, right? So we go to the Adobe Analytics tool, along with some of our observability tools to really say, okay, we're in the customer journey potentially, right? Is the error happening? What page were they on? Did they go somewhere after? Did they click around somewhere after? It gives us an idea of how to address those kinds of issues that sort of pop up.
  • I would say as far as setting up dashboards, for me personally, it's pretty easy, but it does have a learning curve along with it. Once you do know where to find things and how to bring it to life, it just makes sense. After a minute you're like, okay, I realize that's why they have set up that way.
  • I really like the feature of having its omni bug track tracking tool. You can be on your own website, and if you don't know what the tag is called or some of those kind of details that you need when you're building out dashboards, you can take a look and use that. That's a web add-on. So you have your page open, and as you're clicking around it's giving you that data on the right hand side of like, okay, here's the page name, here's the E V A R, here's the event. Like all those kind of things that come with analytics tagging. So I really like using that.
I think there's much room for improvement. And I think they can do it right. When I go take a look at other pieces of software like Google Analytics, Tealium, and some other competitor products, it seems like the UI and UX, the way you build reports, is a lot easier. I just feel like for the amount of money we're paying, we should be getting a little bit better product.

Areas where it's well suited: I think baseline it's a great product to just be able to create those dashboards, create those reports, collaborate with people. I do a lot of training for it and, you know, once it clicks, it makes sense. Like I mentioned earlier, it's all use case-based, right? I don't think I have a strong opinion on where it wouldn't be suitable I guess. People have a choice on what platforms they use today, so I mean, you can either use it or not use it, in my opinion.

I use Adobe Analytics to run all of our weekly performance reporting. We use Adobe Analytics to wire frame data feeds that will then pull out via the API connection or the warehouse and that kind of thing. I work with my stakeholders to help them build their own workspaces to answer their business questions, understand what metrics to use versus other ones, how to break them down to answer what they're trying to figure out. So it's a lot of data management with stakeholder support and then actual analysis in my free time.
  • It's very user-friendly. The drag and drop features are great. I really like how you can do the multi-panel stacks to create different views within the same workspace. I like that the panels can either have date ranges applied to individual ones or all of them. It's just easy to use. It's one of those where it's like kind of intimidating on the upfront and then you get in and once that bandaid rip goes away, it's like, "All right! This is actually very intuitive."
Well suited is definitely for last touch channel reporting. A key piece of our education is the difference between a last touch channel and an MCID tag and how that data is attributed differently. That's a big educational point in our company because we have the digital teams that tell a digital story and then we have marketing telling the marketing story. Marketing is trying to get down to the ad unit that served and how it performed and that cross-dimensional view of the data can sometimes contradict itself a little bit and just look different. I don't know how to bridge that gap really. It's something I get stuck on a little bit. At Hilton we also have a media mix model, which is measuring all of our incremental and our non-digital upper funnel media and all of that stuff and how it's going to contribute to all of our performance and that kind of thing. But because it's not last touch, there's maybe some big disconnects there related to the data coming out of Adobe Analytics.

I always start very broad. It's always performance-based, so overall visits, shop visits, conversion bookings, and then that goes down from there. So regions, marketing channels, and device types. We're looking at it from a high level and then digging down into what the performance story really is and what are the drivers.
  • I would say it's very user-friendly. When I started my job at Hilton, I'd never worked with Adobe Analytics before. From day one it was kind of taught to me, but it was more of like initiation by fire. So honestly that can be kind of stressful a lot of times, but Adobe Analytics was one of the best experiences I've had from picking up something quickly and it's easy to become really good at using the tool. That is definitely unique to Adobe. A lot of the other tools that we use in analytics, it's not as user-friendly, the learning curve is way bigger. That was my favorite thing early on.
Well-suited. I think customer journey analytics, it is extremely well-suited for. It just allows you to delve into the details so easily and quickly and action on those insights very quickly. I feel like now in my current job, I've been looking more at customer experience level data, and I've learned even recently how great the tool is for that.

What is it not good for? I mean I guess this is really obvious, but my job is Hilton's performance. So you have to bridge the gap between the digital story and the overall story, then if there are discrepancies between what we're seeing in Adobe Analytics and what we're seeing in our data lake. You're getting one piece of data from Adobe Analytics, even just bookings. And then we have our other set of data that also has bookings data in there - and it's not just digital but it's all of our other channels. That can be difficult at times.

We have apps, we have websites, we have Adobe tagging on there, and we want to understand what our users are doing from an informational perspective, a conversion perspective, who's booking rooms, how often are people looking at their honors accounts, where are they coming from, which of our ad partners are sending us good leads or whatever. Any of those kinds of things. We have a whole host of teams that actually use Adobe Analytics and perform whatever analysis is important for the business questions at hand.
  • We're really able to dive into really nitty-gritty behavioral activities. So the pages, the buttons that people are clicking on, how they're converting, how often they're converting. In the case of analytics in the AEP world, we are now coming up with the ability to be able to link that to outside sources through CJA. And so not just what's happening from a digital behavioral perspective, but how that ties into reservation center activity, call center activity from a breaking them down by our CRM data, things like that.
It's a good thing that they came up with CJA and AAP because cross-device, cross-channel analysis is something that it doesn't do really well. Being able to hang on to the ability to identify a user and then follow them through multiple visits or across their devices or through other touch points within your company. It's not great at doing that. And even within the CJA world, there are certain configurations your data has to adhere to really make that work. And if you're off by just a little bit, it doesn't quite work the way it's supposed to. It mostly does, but there are definitely still some improvements that can be taken in that respect. In terms of just handling your digital data and segmenting out your data and really digging into it and getting down to fairly nitty gritty digital behavior, it's really good.

The way we use it is we have websites that are constantly innovating, so we want to launch campaigns and get more customers. We are trying to get them on an energy plan. So I work with the digital transformation teams on all the things that they are launching into the website. I help them figure out how are we going to track it to Adobe Analytics, how are we gonna send the data? I give them requirements like "when we get to this point, send these," and then on the back end there's some configuration so that we can send it to translate to a visible variable. Then once you are on workspace you just pull it and see how many users are doing X, Y, and Z. So I pull reports and also do a lot of reporting.
  • Customization. There's no limit to what you wanto to track. I mean you have a limited amount of evar so you have to be conscious about, what's worth getting. But I will say that you can just pick and choose whatever you think is important for your business.
When you're trying to get the product information, and I think it's called the product variable because it captures a lot of information that you wanna track for your products (like what people are seeing, what prices, SKU numbers), and that's pretty neat to be able to get that.

If you don't have much to track, like if you're a small company and you just want to see that your website is visited, then don't spend that much money on Adobe Analytics.

We do use Adobe Analytics to answer how the products are being used. Products meaning software, products on site, and apps and user engagement, especially to understand user behavior and fallouts and the flow on the website. We also use Adobe Analytics to address some issues on the site and see the dropouts and conversion and the opportunities to improve on within the website and apps.
  • The fallout reports. We can deep dive in to see where users are having issues on what pages so we can see exit rates and help to build a better customer experience on those particular pages.
  • The flow reports, we can also do flow analysis on where users tend to navigate from the homepage and to see their full-funnel until they check out.
Well suited is to help understand the picture of users on the site. The drawback goes back to how sometimes business users or business stakeholders want to understand the 360 view of users, like what marketing channels they came from and if they converted in-store or not. We can run online campaigns or email campaigns - we use Epsilon and we see the site engagement, but what if the campaign is more about in-store, how are we stitching that data for in-store data is a lack.

It's used to identify patterns and trends of user behavior across our web and mobile platforms. We use it to answer wants and needs, and types of questions from our business stakeholders who want to understand the digital experience, like what did the user click on its clickstream data. We use that data to optimize the user's experience on the site and to understand the effectiveness of digital as a channel.
  • It makes the analysis the central part. It almost has a front end as a graph database bolted onto a column or backend, which means a lot to some people and nothing to other people. But my analysts don't have to write SQL. They can drag and drop and they literally can have a conversation with their data. They can ask a question and simply drag something over and get the answer to that question.
It's well suited when you're trying to understand customer activity. In other words, not just what did you do on the website, but what did a hundred million people do on the website. There's not a lot of tools that can analyze that kind of scale, speed, volume and do it accurately. So we use it to understand high-volume industry traffic across web and mobile.

Adobe has been used in my organization to track how the Visitors are enagaging and converting on our website. The problem is we never understand which campaigns are bringing in the customers, what pages are they starting their journey and how they are moving ahead in the journey. Adobe just helps us know what are visitors are doing on our websites
  • Spliting visits by channels
  • Splitting visits by devices
  • Funnels based on various landing pages
  • Forward flows
Adobe Analytics has been well suited when it comes to understanding the journey, forward flows, creating fallouts and understand where are users exiting from. This helps us understand what pages to improve to enhance the engagement and conversions on our website. The major drawback that I see is that for a smaller busines this tool is too expensive and we need experts to manage it

We are using Adobe Analytics every day for making business decision by analyzing our website traffic and user behavior. We check the funnels to see the drop and check the trend if website fails. The scope is to create trigger points and help whenever we see drop.
  • tracking
  • marketing channels
  • data visualization
Best scenario is when we need to track any campaign performance
and least is it is hard to learn, documentation should be intuitive

We use abobe analytics as our main web analytics platform. We pair it with Adobe Target for ab testing when launching new features on our site. Adobe Target is also used for personalization experiences, to provide specific product recommendations to indivial customers. Adobe analytics is also used to perform exploratory analyses, and create dashboards to monitor site performance.
  • Pathing analyses
  • Integrations with target for ab testing
  • Good data export options
Adobe analytics is great for making custom components, allowing analysts to perform deep dive analyses on a variety of topics. It is not well suited to joining to offline data sources. Although CJA is, it is still missing several features (such as A4T panels) that make workspace very useful. Additionally, there aren't many incentives for companies to switch over to cja.

Adobe Analytics is our main tool to measure and analyze traffic across web and mobile applications. Our use-case was related to understanding the type of browsers and devices used by users for accessing web and mobile platforms. Adobe analytics gathers a vast volume of data and gives a direction towards action in real-time. We used this data to understand trends of cross-browser usage in the online platforms and app support required for mobile.
  • Great Visualizations
  • Good level of accuracy in its measurement
  • Ability to integrate vast volumes of data from different sources
Adobe analytics has a few performance issues. When there is a lot of website traffic data, it gets slow, otherwise during normal traffic - it works well and is smooth. The 2nd issue is related to data accuracy for capturing the usage on a browser of a mobile device instead of the native apps. This is not accurately captured by the tool. The iOS version and device capture is sometimes inaccurate.

We use adobe analytics across different teams to track customer behavior on the website platform, figure out errors and other issues users are seeing, analysis of a/b and multivariate tests and ad-hoc analyses to answer business questions. Since we have users of varying level of skills to use adobe analytics we publish dashboards as reports in pdf formats so that is easily accessible across different teams.
  • Ability to perform quick ad hoc analysis
  • Drag and drop functionality makes it less complex to use that some other data tools
  • Features that allow us to make custom variables and segments easily
I think adobe analytics is well suited for organizations of all sizes because of its ease of use. It is especially useful when users might not have advanced technical skills to access and work with the available data. It can be a hub or source of truth when multiple teams have to function together since everyone can look at available data the same way.
