We use Adobe Analytics to understand how users are using our website. This feeds into our improving our products for our customers based around making them easier to use. Often done through experimentation and testing, which can then be analysed using our behavioural analytics tool. We also use the tool to measure our marketing efforts and understand how successful they are at driving traffic to our site and whether that leads to subsequent conversions. The data also feeds into helping us protect our customers and ensure that they can enjoy our products safely.
  • Customizable tracking of conversions.
  • Easily sharable and customizable report creation.
  • Tracking of marketing channels and traffic sources.
  • Multiple level of breakdowns available across all variables.
Cons
  • Steep learn curve in comparison to more widely used Google Analytics alternative.
  • Limited amount of best practice documentation available around implementation.
  • Outdated set of standard reports.
  • Lack of suitable real time reporting compared to some other web analytics tools.
Superb for tracking traffic and the channel from which that marketing has come to the site. Very customizable for a variety of use cases and can be tailored specifically to an organisation's need. The way it is implemented means anything can be tracked in some way, and therefore most questions posed by product teams can be answered with the correct Adobe Analytics setup.

  • Provides highly detailed reports on very specific metrics.
  • Reports are very easy to share and understand.
  • Able to assign customizable measurement perimeters.
  • Identify poor performing web pages.
  • Track success of digital marketing campaigns.
Cons
  • Learning how to use SiteCatalyst is quite difficult.
  • Initial implementation of software is challenging.
  • Support is less than helpful in most cases.
Overall, SiteCatalyst is an amazing program. If you can get through the difficulties of implementation and learning how to effectively use the software, it can do great things for your company. Make sure to negotiate extensive in-person training and person-to-person support into your original terms.

"Great user interface and all in one analytics solution for all of your digital platforms"

What do you like best?

Can combine various digital platforms in just one view. I use this tool to generate reports and analysis on all of our domains. Very appealing visuals and switching between trended view and ranked view. Very flexible data filters. I was really surprised by the speed with which it pulls historical data. With this tool, you have almost any slice of digital data on your fingertips (hugely depends on your IT's implementation).

What do you dislike?

No proper governance on all the dashboards, users creates dozens of dashboards and leave it on the server with 100s of versions. Overall implementation is cumbersome and time-consuming. Needs proper tagging on all of your platforms as well as all hits and instances.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Make sure you have solid tagging implementation, Adobe's DTM tool is a robust solution which can manage all tags at one place.

What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We generate sales reports and use this platform for source traffic reporting search terms optimizations, campaign AB testing. We analyze overall site performance for various IT implementation on user enhancements.

  • Provides in-depth web page analytics: impressions, views, user demographics, event tracking.
  • Provides comprehensive reports that can be automatically scheduled.
  • Generates graphs for visualizing long-term and short-term data.
Cons
  • Requires a somewhat steep learning curve to use and set up this product.
  • Customer and tech support are available at multiple levels, however it can take some time and potentially a few attempts to find the right person with the right knowledge.
Like all Adobe products, it's beastly. But it does deliver, and especially when combined with its sister products produces nearly unbeatable results.

Adobe Analytics: An Expensive Version of Google Analytics

As a small business owner (I am a full-time freelance photographer) whose leads are mostly generated by being found online, I wanted to be able to analyze my web data, since web presence is very important to the growth of my business. I first used Google Analytics and then moved on to Adobe Analytics after several recommendations. It has been a great help in monitoring traffic, but it does come at a cost since Adobe Analytics is not free.
  • Adobe Analytics is very visually pleasing and user-friendly; my favorite thing is the simple drag and drop feature that makes the workspace flexible and clean.
  • Reports are easy to read with the help of graphics; another reason why Adobe Analytics is visually appealing.
  • Customer support; while it is sometimes slow to receive help, at least customer support exists, compared to Google Analytics.
Cons
  • I mentioned customer support before as being a 'pro' because it exists, but it is also an area where Adobe Analytics could improve. Support is often slow to respond to inquiries.
  • Adobe Analytics can become very expensive, though this is dependent on your usage.
  • Adobe Analytics is not for beginners. It has a steep learning curve, so if you are a beginner, make sure to get the most out of your money and understand how to use the platform.
I think Adobe Analytics is well suited for small or large businesses with the brain power to understand how the platform works and then use it to its full extent. It is a powerful platform that can become costly. I would not recommend AA to people who are beginners or have a limited budget for analytics.
