The Adobe Analytics functions are more responsive and very flexible especially on multiple data analysis and to manage different marketing content is simple. I like Adobe Analytics performance which is cost effective and gathering marketing insights is easy and quick. To import different data and document management this system is among the best.

Google Analytics comes across more of a reporting tool whereas Adobe Analytics is more of an Enterprise level analytics tool. Contentsquare provides some traffic and flow capabilities but not to the same level as Adobe Analytics. However, Contentsquare's major advantage is its Zoning (Heatmapping), Impact Quantification and Find 'n' Fix modules; none of which are knowingly available in Adobe Analytics.

In addition to Adobe Analytics, we also use Google Analytics. But as we've become more well-versed in analysis and reporting, we now understand how they are different tools. Both are needed, and it's important to understand how the data that is generated should be used for customer retention, customer experience and website improvements.

The IBM tool was that we used, it had some nice things going forward, but they ended up spinning it off to a different company and so it was just one of those things that wasn't really getting the product development. Whereas Adobe Analytics is very obviously continuously driving the product forward. So I do think it's head and shoulders above that tool we were using with Google Analytics. I mean there's a little bit of an apples and oranges nature to them. I certainly prefer using Adobe Analytics as a primary tool. Google, I think even with the 360 product, sometimes you run into some weird things with sampling. I think we're definitely comfortable relying on Adobe Analytics as the primary tool.

I think Adobe's been around longer as a product but Tealium, from when I did research, it has auto-tagging. So one of my biggest pet peeves is when I'm rolling out new features, and whether it's an app or a website, is that I have to go speak with our metrics team or tagging team and we have to come up with these different strategies. Okay, how are we gonna tag it? What are we going to name it? It just seems like a lot of wasted time in my opinion. I want to track everything. I want to know every single thing these people are doing. We shouldn't have to have this conversation if we tag this, you might not have time to tag this right away for MVP. It's like that to me right now. That shouldn't even be a conversation. I should be able to release a feature, I should be able to just automatically go pull reports on that. And just figure out exactly what they were doing.

Adobe Analytics is just the easiest to read in my opinion. The drag and drop Lego set functionality of it to me is what makes it so easy to understand and it's easy to teach, too. Because you can just go in and real quickly show like, "all right, you search for things here and this is your list of metrics and you drag them over here and these are all your tail." I mean, it's a breeze compared to some of the other ones.

Adobe Analytics is better because there's just so much more you can do. A lot of those analytics tools, they're very narrow-focused. They're great, but a lot of times it's justextracting the data from those tools and then putting it in Excel and doing your own thing to it. Whereas in Adobe Analytics, you don't need to do that. Everything sits within the platform.

I think one of the downsides for Adobe Analytics, when you compare to some of the other tools, is the support. It's not always the best. I think it has to do with the fact that there are so many people who use Adobe Analytics. They have so many clients, so many partners that they work with. It's hard to do that kind of support at that kind of scale. So I definitely understand why it's not always the easiest thing to do and why some of the smaller companies can do a better job at that. But I've worked with Google Analytics and I've worked with Webtrends. Feature-wise, it's not even a comparison. Adobe Analytics blows them out of the water. But again, a company like Webtrends is a smaller company, the support was actually really good with them. The tool just wasn't up to the capability. But for Adobe Analytics, the tool is fantastic, but again, trying to do the support at scale like that is not always the best. Google is free, so it does what it does. I don't think feature-wise it compares and whatever for Google support.

They both can achieve in isolation. They both can achieve very, very similar objectives. There's a free version of Google. Many in the industry misconstrue that the free version is a better option than a paid version of Adobe. It's a misnomer because to do it at scale, you gotta pay Google, too. So now they atomize the data differently, so their numbers will never quite agree. A lot of that has to do with the sessionization rules and how that data gets, you know, packaged, if you will, to understand the experience. Neither of them are right and neither of them are wrong. It's just their own individual approach. Stylistic approach to how that information can be understood and and woven into a story.

Adobe can track the page level and click based tracking that helps us to improve our customer journeys and user interface which eventually improves our engagement and conversions too. Adobe needs to come up with more advanced features that over and above the competition. Also, at such a price Adobe hs to provide differentiating factor

Adobe analytics has less flexibility in terms of joining data sources and creating visualizations. It does well at creating custom analytics, but so do the other platforms. Workspace does tend to be better at creating segmentation.

There are several business analytics software and all have different capabilities depending on the requirement. BI software today are a key and the face of the organizations e-commerce business - weather it is mobile or online. Selection of Adobe analytics was a joint decision by management as it had positive inputs from across departments in our organization. It ranked better for visualizations and integration.

Adobe analytics intuitively feels easier to use than Google Analytics and the functionality that allows us to create unlimited custom segments and derived dimensions is incredibly useful.

Google Analytics (inc. 360): Target is less intuitive than Google on a number of fronts: layout, naming conventions, default reporting views, but offers more flexible reporting options without having to swap to tools like BigQuery. In a lot of instances, its faster than Google Analytics too which is useful for browsing reporting data.

Mixpanel: less flexible than Mixpanel, and less focused on mobile experiences. Less intuitive than Mixpanel's interface.

Adobe analytics provides great customer support with integration with third party apps very easily which makes it a reliable tool for analysing the data along with future forecasting of data using predictive analytics. It provides segment metrics which helps in understanding the data in various segments where we can use different metrics allocation like linear, last touch etc.
