Google Universal Analytics (discontinued) Reviews & Insights

Google Analytics 360 we ae used to analyze our data and based on analyzed data we are building a strategy for our app. It has a lot of features like dashboarding, user path analysis, event analysis, and many more which help us to make a better decision in the development of the app. Furthermore, we are using this software across multiple departments like product, marketing, analytics, and category multi-purpose It is like one software is solves our all problems of different departments.

As I have discussed previously their insights were very useful. The second thing is since it is a Google product you will connect the data very easily from other platforms like Bigquery, Google Drive, etc. and even you can connect Google marketing platform. through this tool, you can track your live campaign how they were performing, and how it will be engaging your customer as well.

This tool was mainly used within our company to identify any issues on a website, when the websites were quite large and typically e-commerce focussed. This tool allowed us to not have any limits on the amount of data that we were capturing, which meant we could review the data and provide accurate recommendations on where there are further opportunities for the client / on the website. Without this tool, the client wouldn't have been able to manage their customer data and therefore wouldn't be able to make strategic marketing decisions with confidence and accuracy.

I think this is a great platform as long as there is a dedicated team which is going to spend reviewing the data and also taking out insights from it, making it beneficial. It was well suited for me when working with a client that had a very large amount of traffic, with a large range of complex products on offer. This tool allowed us to be able to do more with the data and segmenting it more which ultimately drove our relationship forward, but also the results that we saw.

It's our standard analytics go-to covering most of our initial diagnostic use cases. Understanding volumetrics for user numbers across different flows, triaging drop-off to drive conversion rate optimization, and monitoring funnel behavior over time tied to optimizations is key.

Well suited to organizations with large website-driven user volumes. Less appropriate for app-only businesses unless combined with other analytics tools. Necessary for cross-channel businesses and to allow data collection at scale. Less appropriate for data visualization, storytelling, and novice usage than other tools.

Google Analytics 360 [(formerly Google Analytics Premium)] has helped in addressing the organizational data & analysis. It has been a supportive tool to get the analytics at one go. This formulates the data, collects the data & makes it user friendly so that it will be ready to use data for management decisions and workings.

Google Analytics 360 [(formerly Google Analytics Premium)] holds good position in our company to generates reports based on analytics and data. this is very useful to review and take decision based on that. Cost wise this is on higher side but its reports are accurate and stand as a strong foundation for any matter. it has access to raw data which helps to go back to root for comparison.

Google Analytics 360 helps us know which channel to target potential customers and which website content to optimize. It has accurate metrics, demographic information about potential customers and makes sure that you can control what content should be presented to visitors; its website is beneficial. An excellent tool that contains all the information about the performance of your network resources so you can quickly solve problems and decide how to increase your revenue.

Google Analytics 360 allows businesses of all sizes to track user behavior, gain marketing insights, and much more. Modern tools for conversion and attribution testing can help businesses both large and small improve user experience, maximize their digital strategies, and better measure performance. Your content, your products, services and more. It can help you understand what's working and what's not; it's a comprehensive tool that can give you insights into what's happening on the web and in apps.

I have Google Analytics 360 set up to measure my web site traffic. I can see where visitors are coming from, how many visitors have come to the site, how long they stay, what pages they visit and so on. It helps me determine what platforms I should be focusing on and what content is resonating.

I think for small business owners, Google Analytics 360 is a free tool that can be used to understand where visitors are coming from - which platforms are driving traffic to your site. Also you can tell which pages of your site they're spending time on - and which they "bounce" quickly from, so changes can be made. You can see which content is resonating most with visitors, too. If you publish a blog for example, you can see which posts people are reading - you can see how long they've stayed on a certain page. It's helpful because it informs your content. On the other side, Google Analytics 360 can be overwhelming. Because there is so much data - too much data? - it can make you turn away. You look at it - become overwhelmed - and just move on. I don't use it as much as I could for that reason. It's helpful to know which data you're looking for so you can focus on that.

The cost of Google Analytics 360 is high, even in a large company in my country. At the moment we are testing if there is a good cost-benefit relationship and if the tool suite really improves our work, reducing the technical hour's costs of the team. We think this technology is highly justifiable for large companies that have e-commerce. It provides great analytical power concerning the presented results. The value of the contract includes technical support and training for the team, which is very important.
We are testing in a single area for now. So far, we've identified that the number of columns to export and the number of custom variables can bring impactful results. We have been using Google Analytics to track user behavior on our websites. The resulting data helps to understand user behavior and other data, such as which platform the user accessed our site from. It also helps our company know which banners we are getting the most leads from and which leads are converting to customers which can support further analysis for our CRM.

I use Google Analytics 360 on multiple client accounts. It addresses the sampling issues of GA free, and allows you to have more goals & other metrics set up on your account.

Really useful if the user has the budget, and if more goals/unsampled data is needed. It's less appropriate for smaller clients where data sampling isn't too bad, or if the cost dwarfs marketing budget.

Various departments use Google Analytics 360 to track user behaviour on the website and the apps. Marketing uses it to track campaign performance and conversion issues. Buying team uses it to understand what type of products are users searching for, looking at, adding to the cart and finally purchasing. Tech team uses it to evaluate UX related dimensions as well as tech related issues that users could be facing.

Google Analytics 360 is great for tracking large amounts of data and drawing conclusions from it. As compared to the other analytic tools, it is easy to use and being a part of the Google Suite, you can easily share data with the other google platforms (Ads, Optimise, Data studio, Big Query, etc.).
The attribution model tool and user behaviour tracking for the app can be improved. With the ongoing challenges from browsers and GDPR opt-ins, you can only see around 90% of the actual data.

Google Analytics 360 is being used across different areas of the company, especially in the marketing and sales and planning teams, in which we use it as our main attribution platform. Besides that, Google Analytics 360 is also being used in order to better understand user acquisition, user behavior, retention, conversion and many more, as well as for comparing different attribution models as to understand the one that better fits our business and makes the most of our acquisition channels.

Google Analytics 360 works very well and is very appropriate as an attribution and web analytics tool. However it does have some room for improvement when we talk about cross device attribution and app analytics.
