Google Analytics is one of the best website analytics tools on the market, and it can help businesses measure and improve their online performance, as well as solve a variety of business problems, such as attracting more visitors to your website, increasing conversions and sales, optimizing marketing campaigns, understanding customers' behavior and preferences, and identifying and fixing website issues. It may give you with very advanced user segmentation and reporting. Additionally, you may add several websites to watch. All of these enterprise-level capabilities are accessible on the free edition, which, in my opinion, are overkill for SMEs. If you own a web design or marketing firm, GA might become one of your best buddies.
  • Optimize marketing campaigns.
  • Understand customers' behavior and preferences.
  • Identify and fix issues on your website.
  • Increase conversions and sales.
  • Make it simple, because the majority of GA users are SMEs.
  • Reduce features SMEs don't need, maybe which can reduce their carbon footprint.
  • GA gathers and maintains user personal data such as IP addresses, cookies, and device identifiers, which leads to privacy and compliance problems.
  • Natively introduce heat maps.
I believe it is best suited to web/marketing agencies with adequate understanding of running and maintaining websites, as well as marketing and promotion. For SMEs, I feel that something simpler, such as Microsoft Clarity, should be utilised; it does not have all of the functionality that GA provides, but it is basic, straightforward, and contains all that a small or medium-sized firm could want. If you perform SEO for other companies, GA is unquestionably the finest.

Google Analytics has been very important for tracking Web traffic to our Web properties as well as which Keywords people were using when they visited our Sites. It brings visibility into how Web pages are performing across multiple Google Analytics properties and the history of how they have performed in the past.
  • Web Analytics
  • Web Content Performance
  • Reporting
  • Data Export
  • More wizards - guided version for brand new Users of the platform
  • Productized integration with Marketing Platforms. Something that can be put on the App Stores of HubSpot, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and then purchased for integrated usage with the platform.
  • More alerts on when Content is underperforming.
Google Analytics is one of the best Web analytics platforms out there. It is well documented and it is relatively easy for Web content creators/Web masters to learn and use. It may not be appropriate for organizations that have used another Web platform for a long period of time or where they do not want their analytics information accessed via the Web. If an organization has been using another platform for a long time, there may need to be some work done to prove out the case for the transition, as well as implementation work needed to get Google Analytics set up properly.

Google Analytics gives us real-time data where we need and allows us to quickly pick up on search trends, purchase behavior, and more
  • User behavior tracking
  • Detailed data
  • Certain areas are hard to find
  • Using secondary dimensions and other advanced tools can be challenging
Google Analytics is good for any size business but may fall short if you're looking for super-detailed information. The reports and data can be helpful, but at times is lacking for our needs

Google Analytics is currently being used to track the number of users and multiple conversion points across our site, across various channels, including but not limited to PPC, Paid Social and Organic. It helps to bring all the conversion and revenue numbers together for all the channels as a total, which helps the client see how their business is performing as a whole.
  • Google Analytics allows for very detailed remarketing lists that can be pushed in AdWords.
  • Tracking of the traffic and various conversions through each channel.
  • Google Analytics tracks users that are not only in your country but across the world. This helps when you are building a strategy that has an international component.
  • Great attribution section, which shows the user journey for each conversion.
  • It would be good to see labels from AdWords to be visible in Google Analytics.
  • The dashboard and unique features can be a bit cumbersome and difficult to use if you are using it for the first time.
The reason I'd recommend Google Analytics is because, firstly, it can track the traffic from multiple channels, such as email, paid social, as mentioned earlier this helps when planning strategy or deducing reasons for lower traffic or conversions for a particular channel. Secondly, the remarketing lists and custom reports section works very well when it comes to creating and reporting on campaigns.

Google Analytics was used only by my department in my previous company. My department was digital marketing. We used Google Analytics to do website analytics like, monitoring traffic by sources/medium, monitoring conversions on landing pages, etc.
  • Traffic analytics
  • Goal conversions/Landing page conversions
  • User Behavior Analytics
  • Google Analytics is for technical people, some help in creating the expressions would be helpful
  • Drag and drop graphs will be helpful too
  • User behavior analytics could be simplified
A Marketing analyst or paid media analyst is the right person to use Google Analytics. An analyst needs to be technical enough to write the right expressions to fetch correct data. Suppose they are Google Analytics certified, then great. Consumers of this data will be digital marketing managers. The main use case of Google Analytics, as I see it, is web analytics. They can't be used to do campaign analytics or attribution. Though Google Analytics offers these features, I don't find them easy to set up.

We use Google Analytics for marketing and website tracking both internally and across hundreds of our clients. Google Analytics is the free, gold standard of website reporting that every company should have. It provides critical data on on-site visitors, interactions, and visitor behavior in an easy-to-use platform that integrates with nearly every platform out there.
  • Website Visitor Tracking
  • User Behavior
  • Website Funnels
  • Website Conversion Tracking
  • Integrates with everything
  • Custom event tracking on website
  • Detailed visitor information
  • Almost too robust of an interface that can be challenging for new users
Honesty, there is no reason that a company wouldn’t want to implement Google Analytics. The regular version is completely free, is very easy to configure, and provides immense volumes of website data. There are also tangible benefits to the other Google tools it can connect to, and it integrates with any BI/data platform that you might use.
The only time I’d advise not using standard Google Analytics is if you’ve purchased Google Analytics 360.

Google Analytics is used mainly in the sales and marketing department of the company. It's used in the software development department to get feedback from the user behavior and make necessary tweaks accordingly. It helps in channelizing the focus and energy toward the goal by giving data insights in the most useful and meaningful way possible.
  • Strong data tracking
  • Easy to use and integrate
  • Good documentation and videos by experts
  • The metrics and dimension parts are quite confusing at times
  • UI can be improved
  • New features
  • To know the result and the current user behavior based the marketing campaign
  • To track the traffic on website and to know how users behave
  • How well the site is engaging the users in terms of content
  • The website responsiveness and user friendliness can be found out using the tools in the Google Analytics, and that helps the developers to make necessary changes with regard to UX

Google Analytics is used as one of the main reporting engines for our company. It quickly gives us insight into where are traffic is coming from, breakdowns of who is purchasing, and detailed, itemized sales history. We also use Google Analytics to track individual marketing campaign performance, like ad hoc emails or social campaigns.
  • Gives detailed demographics
  • Allows you to segment out traffic to analyze
  • Shows where your traffic is coming from
  • Can't accurately track returns / fraud orders
  • Can be difficult to set up correctly sometimes (especially in the new interface)
  • Mainly uses last click attribution
Google Analytics is free, which is one of the best parts about it. Once set up, it provides access to a large portion of the information you would need to optimize marketing campaigns and your website overall. Knowing who is visiting your site is the first step to optimizing your marketing efforts and GA does exactly that.

We use Google Analytics to track goals and events. We have different domains that we need to track within the same account and each with different currencies. With [Google Analytics] we can use sophisticated cross-domain tracking to accurately measure conversions for each of our marketing channels and figure out what is working on what is not and revise our marketing dollars accordingly.
  • You can figure out conversions rate for each of your marketing efforts
  • You can review content engagement and see which piece of content your viewers like the best
  • You can track the impact of mobile users to your online business
  • Google Analytics can't guarantee that robot visits will not pollute your reports
  • Google cannot track everything that happens on a web site
  • Some of the tracking in not easy to implement and requires additional training
We use Google Analytics all the time as it is critical (in my opinion) for any online business. For larger online business then there is the Premium version of [Google Analytics] which comes with a price tag of about $150,000. In that case there are different options like Adobe Analytics.

Our company used the free version of Google Analytics to monitor and report on website visitors and e-commerce conversions. We would regularly generate reports based on the data contained within the platform, and use it to inform website development, issues and tracking of various KPIs. For this reason, it was crucial to our commercial performance measurement and a major contributor to future planning for different business functions. We also made some of the data available to third parties for the purposes of retargeting and advertising.
  • Clearly segmented dashboard for visits, commerce, performance metrics etc.
  • Relatively simple user and property management.
  • Useful exporting options for external integrations and analysis.
  • A variety of viewing options for different data, so that it can be understood better or drilled down into.
  • Intuitive UI for navigating historical data.
  • Data sampling is somewhat inaccurate on the free tier - this is addressed in premium but is expensive.
  • Some of the UI is very similar in naming when presenting different data, some in-situ information might be useful.
  • Gotchas around filtering and data validation.
  • Implementation can be tricky, it can take a lot of time and expertise to get a full, accurate picture of your metrics.
For a free product, [Google Analytics] is an excellent offering that is difficult to compete with out of the box. Simple integration is very quick and easy with gtag as a website snippet, or even via Google's tag manager. A more complex, detailed integration can be more costly and time-consuming, but it is always possible to opt in to various bits of data over time, so it is quite extensible in that sense. This makes it suitable for small sites and businesses starting out, and when you get to a scale where GA may no longer be fit for purpose in this state you can then evaluate versus other platforms and possibly upgrade to premium if desired.

[Google Analytics is] used [by] the Marketing team to track how visitors navigate our web site, how they use it, what pages are most seen.
We also use it to analyze sources of traffic, to see if people come from google search, social networks, email campaigns, etc.
Another cool use is to see the average time on page (before they leave) and the bounce rate; both are quite good indicators to measure the expectations of the people against our offering.
Finally, we also use it to compare performance across months, given that you can select the period of time to analyze, then you can compare monthly, but also yearly (January 2020 vs January 2021 for example) and see if we have stationary periods.
  • Source analysis
  • Bounce rate
  • Time in page
  • Regions of visitors
  • Hard to learn to use properly
  • Flow between pages is difficult to interpret
  • Unknown sources (you have the number but you can't identify the source)
  • Errors in social networks numbers of visitors
[Google Analytics is] absolutely necessary to improve your web presence as previously explained[.]

In our workplace, different online and offline marketing teams use Google Analytics. It allows us not just to analyze different channels but also gives us insight into our end users. So far, it's helped our desktop team understand where the user drops off and how we can improve those drop-offs. Based on the data we analyze, we create content that allows us to retain users for a longer period of time and reduce drop-offs.
  • Captures all the data from our site
  • Measure campaign performance
  • Segmentation
  • Can be a huge learning curve for some if never used Google Analytics
  • Setting up an alert system is missing
  • Better interactive notifications in taking actions quickly
Comparing to its competitors, Google Analytics has all the bells and whistles. Some components are missing in terms of customizations. Some of the other analytics platforms allow you to have a lot more customizations compared to Google Analytics. However, Google Analytics is great for tracking users in real-time to measure your acquisition channels for the basic needs. You can link Google Analytics to your Google Ads account to go further in analyzing data and getting a better insight into your existing users/new users for more advanced users. Conversion tracking is OK. It seems like it is a bit out of touch with reality, and the numbers seem to be overly inflated. Also, setting up Goals can be tricky per our experience.

With Google Analytics, we are primarily tracking the inbound traffic on our website from different sources. This is being used across multiple teams in the organization. It gives us a clear picture of where we have to focus more. Google Analytics is the single platform for us where we can see the data for different UTMs we are using across different channels and campaigns. We also use it to create goals that resonate with our business objectives. We track the goals on Google Analytics and use these to optimize our paid media campaigns. It is simply an amazing tool for tracking and attribution purposes. We are also using it for reporting and automated dashboards, which give us real-time data and make it easy to make decisions.
  • Google Analytics helps you know where the traffic on your website is coming from. You know which campaign, whether paid or organic, is performing. You can get the real-time data of traffic on your website.
  • It allows you to create your own custom goals and track them. You can also use the same event/goals to optimize your paid media campaigns on Google Ads.
  • Google Analytics can be used to generate extensive reports and also to create real-time custom dashboards.
  • Using Google Analytics, you can change the attribution model to more accurately distribute the credit to different touchpoints that led to a conversion.
  • It takes time for a new person to get acquainted with the interface since there are so many options available. It can be confusing for the new user to navigate through the platform. The UI can be further made easy.
  • It takes time to get the support for any troubleshooting. It's not always available on chat/phone. Most of the time we have to rely on emails.
  • There are limited number of audiences you can create on analytics. For a large website with multiple verticals, they would need this limit to be increased.
  • Creating a funnel is still a mystery for many people. This is a feature many of the users are not leveraging. Google should make the setup process easy and also should make people aware through tutorials/guides.
This is amazing if you have to know about the traffic source on your website. Once the setup is done, it gives you real-time data of traffic on the website by different cuts like devices, geography, language, browser, network, etc. By analyzing this data, you can get to know which feature people are looking for. You can refer to user flow and it tells you how the visitors are navigating on your website. Also, once the UTM setup is done across different channels, Google Analytics can be referred to as a single source to see the performance of all UTMs. It is also quite a handy tool for event tracking.

Google Analytics is being used by the marketing department to track and analyze traffic to our website from various sources. We use this to see where our traffic is coming from, how that traffic is interacting with our website to make informed decisions on our SEO strategy. We also use Google Analytics to track conversions from our website and Google PPC. This allows us to see what conversion percent we are getting from our traffic to make conversion optimization decisions.
  • Very in-depth platform to track a multitude of website analytics
  • Easy to understand metrics to allow informed decisions
  • Great for making reports to present to people
  • Easy to collaborate with multiple users if needed
  • Has a ton of integrations with other marketing products
  • There is a learning curve if you want to get the most out of the platform
  • Setting up conversion tracking can be tricky
  • You may need a webmaster to install the tracking code if you don't have web experience
Google Analytics really stands alone as the best product to track your website traffic. Of course, there are other marketing platforms out there, but most of them connect to Google Analytics together with the data needed to perform best. If you really take the time to learn the platform you will gain invaluable insights into how your website is performing and improvements you need to make to do better. If you are new to this, Google's insights are also helpful to tell you where you are being successful and items you need to improve. Connecting Google Analytics with Google Search Console is also a powerful way to understand your organic traffic and rankings.

We use Google Analytics with a lot of our clients that want to get detailed information about their viewers and their basic browser metrics or profiles. Additionally, we will track user traffic within their site. Gathering these metrics helps identify which sections of the site needs more growth, which sections could be trimmed, and also helps target code optimizations based on the browser base of the users visiting their site.
  • Quick and easy to set up.
  • Powerful metrics and traffic flows.
  • Ability to enable detailed metrics through action tracking.
  • Visualizing metrics on detailed actions can be tricky to set up.
  • Exporting dashboards/reports could be a little more emphasized.
Google Analytics can easily be recommended for most websites, particularly if the goal is to gather basic metrics about the visitors and their flow. Having basic actions in place, particularly when refining the tracking of user flow, would also be a good candidate for Google Analytics. Google Analytics would be a little less appropriate when you're trying to get a full tracing stack of analytics and performance in something like a web app.

Google Analytics helps us to understand how people use our sites, we collect audience data, organize insights, and take action to improve experience, sales, major KPIs, etc. It also helps to bring together all major reporting with other modules like advertising, trends, conversions, etc. We use it to integrate wtih data studio, adsense, Google ads, ad manager, and search console.

  • Innovation - clear leader in this space with constantly evolving solutions
  • Custom reporting - drill down to very granular metrics
  • robust insights - access to many insights that are not available anywhere else.
  • convoluted eco-system of apps - not always clear how they're different.
  • steep learning curve - courses are helpful but new apps are frequent
  • Limited 3P integrations
It's really the gold standard in terms of analytics solutions due to its connection to the Google search engine. Obviously, they will have the most data/insights if most of the internet search data is being gathered from their site. We get the most benefit from using analytics to drive decisions around our advertising campaigns.

I use [Google Analytics] to track web traffic and get more info on who is visiting my site. This way I can target the correct audience. We see who is accessing our marketing materials through social media, then we analyze how we can get other users to visit our site in other ways.
  • Track users
  • ROI
  • Measure ad performance
  • Would like more advanced options
  • Easier interface
[Google Analytics] is appropriate for any company looking to track their digital ads and get more info on who is seeing these ads, and where they came from. It would be less appropriate for companies who have all of their ads in one place, or have print ads instead of digital.

Google Analytics is embedded within many of our customer-facing mobile products. It is widely used to track users, engagement, KPIs, and other insights. The business problem it addresses is making user engagement, revenue, and KPI telemetry metrics easily available and pivotable in UI's, APIs, and raw downloadable formats (click to export in CSV, G-Sheets, etc). It allows us to track trends and investigate and drill down into any anomalies that are observed. The ability to slice and dice data, and support for both standard and custom events allows us to get quick insights to how our products are performing.
  • Easy to use
  • Easy to export data
  • Numerous standard events/KPIs out of the box
  • Support for custom events
  • Little to no training required
  • Available 24/7/365
  • Faster data ingress (intra day)
  • Better accuracy (sampling)
  • More graphic / UI pivots on charts and data visualizations
  • More granular alarming / event alerts
Google Analytics is an excellent choice for web-centric engagement and usage metrics. It's a great tool for fast and flexible BI and analysis. It provides value for both power-users / analysts and more casual business owners seeking trend analysis and answering questions. Data visualizations are easy to use and consistent. Custom events and reporting segments are easy to create and modify. Reporting is flexible with easy export options for bulk ETL and APIs for more robust data visualizations (e.g. Google Data Studio connector).

We use Google Analytics on a daily basis for multiple reasons. One, we like to view the amount of traffic on our website in real time. We also like to view which marketing channels are driving the most traffic and revenue which helps us make better business decisions. Having the opportunity to view what our highest visited pages [are] helps us understand user behavior, as well as understanding what technology they're accessing our website from.
  • User Demographics
  • User Acquisition
  • Marketing Channel Reporting
  • Hard to setup custom configurations
  • Lack of Organic Keyword data
Google Analytics is well suited for businesses looking to understand their website traffic, their top visited pages, and understand where traffic is coming from. Google Analytics will not provide recommendations on paid media campaigns or provide much insight into the top organic keywords that drive traffic to your business. It will help you understand your user base demographics and locations they're accessing your website from.

Google Analytics is used by our Marketing department to track marketing campaign performance, like ad hoc emails and social campaigns. We also use Google Analytics for insight into website traffic and what content our visitors are interacting with most.
  • One of our biggest goals this year is targeting a younger demographic. Google Analytics provides detailed reporting with demographics which helps us with this goal. It allows us to specifically see what is working and what isnt.
  • Traffic reporting is easy to analyze and understand.
  • User flow is great with Google Analytics. Clear view of where users are clicking and where people are falling off.
  • User training resources for onboarding
  • Customer support is lacking - It can be confusing for new users and getting questions answered by customer service is complicated
I think Google Analytics is best used by a smaller organization. Its tracking and reports are beneficial and great to see how marketing campaigns are performing and what pages on your website are hitting and what is not. I think Google Analytics can be confusing for beginners and there isnt in-depth training which isnt ideal for onboarding.

Google analytics 360 (premium version) is currently deployed on two of our clients (AJIO and Aditya Birla Capital). The greatest strength comes from the fact that the UI is highly responsive with multiple filtering options to view the data from traffic sources. The custom reports are also a bonus feature which helps in the daily report and analysis for said clients.
  • Custom Reports.
  • Segmenting Audiences.
  • UTM Tracking.
  • Adding a third dimension when viewing traffic sources.
  • User interface could be improved.
  • Documentation for some underutilized features could be improved.
Google Analytics is well suited to websites built on Shopify or Magento, or if using Google Tag manager (GTM). It is less useful while implementing it in an app. Traffic sources or media campaigns where UTM parameters can be used is the best case scenario for Google Analytics.

We use it to monitor website traffic. We use it on all pages of the website.
  • Great Reports
  • Easy to Use Dashboards
  • Good community resources
  • More dimensions
  • More than just secondary dimension - third dimention would be great
  • More instructions
It's great for all websites big and small. Although when a website has traffic in the millions it can be quite slow.
