Score 5 out of 10

  • Webtrends showed most of the web analytics info I needed.I was tracking page-level traffics and conversions to measure the performance of the pages and/or contents.
  • It's auto-login function is easy to use.
  • Its user interface is not really user-friendly because its menu system was not intuitive. Initially, I had a hard time to find the needed information. I had to spend lots of time to familiarize myself with the system.
  • Overall, it is not really a flexible analytics tool. I had difficulty in slicing and dicing the data within the system. I had to download the data to Excel in order to work with the data freely.
This is a tool geared towards more advanced users. I think it's really hard to figure out Webtrends for novices. Its
user interface is not easy to use. It requires a steep learning curve especially for the people new to web analytics.

  • Webtrends provides a platform that can accept any number of custom variables and can be adapted to fulfill a variety of business needs. Segmentation, purchase funnel, scenarios, dropoff and bounce rate are effective.
  • Webtrends 10 integrates analytics data with 3rd party data including app stores, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. This provides a compelling case for programs that require insight into these data.
  • Webtrends is not great at providing statistical data for analysis. You need to enable Log File Delivery or create an analysis export to perform this. This could theoretically be done with Streams.
  • Webtrends has difficulty identifying multi-visit users due to the inherent fragility of cookie-based tracking.
  • Webtrends Analytics does not provide Pathing capabilities for segments, only for the aggregate. However, this can be worked around with Scenario functionality selectively fired by a tag management system.
  • Segmentation by high-cardinality parameters tends to cause issues with table limits. Even after scrubbing and scrutinizing data, we commonly see up of 10K rows per dimension. Due to this, we use Webtrends Analytics to roll up data into larger segments and export all of our log data into our database for heavy duty number crunching.

Webtrends 10 review

Score 7 out of 10

  • I enjoy that I am able to create specific Campaign IDs to track my display campaigns as well as search campaigns. I am able to track Average Time on Site (ATOS), visits, and pages viewed by each campaign ID.
  • There are glitches in the system; some traffic sources are not identified correctly which can disrupt data. For example, I see Display campaign ID mixed in with search traffic, referral traffic.
  • Some of the reporting and dashboard layouts are less than ideal for seeing the bigger picture on one screen.
  • Certain metrics like time on site, and unique visitors are not measured as well as they could be. ATOS should be measured in seconds, rather than minutes.

  • Webtrends always allowed for easy segmentation of the data.
  • Implementation was not as challenging as other enterprise-level tools.
  • Multi-channel analysis is easy to do within Webtrends, especially with recent additions of Social Media and other Attribution measurements.
  • Not as easy to implement as Google Analytics.
  • There are not as many customer examples and documentation as other tools.
Great tool compared to other enterprise-level offerings.

  • It allows you to customize reporting based on customer channel. The reporting had the ability to give a visual representation and not just numbers.
  • Less campaign insight. No heat maps. No ability to do reporting based on several factors such as: did they receive an email from us, but then go to an affiliate site - where they ultimately made the purchase. (No campaign attribution).
  • The product was quite expensive and did not do some of the critical things we needed. It was just not a good fit for us.
