Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Analytics
Our parent company used it for all the newspapers. It enables our Editorial department to understand what stories are popular and where the traffic is coming from. It also provides us with data about our traffic trend and the behavior of the audience.
- Report Builder -- it enables you to build custom reports for distribution.
- Dashboards -- it enables you to build custom dashboards for our editors.
- It allows prebuilt custom reports by site levels.
- Visualizations tools are limited.
- The learning curve is steep.
- It would be nice if only one master dashboard is needed and can filter by individual editors.
- It provides tools to track the performance of the newspaper as a whole as well as different sections or even editors.
Google Analytics has a less steep learning curve. The visualization tools are better. The dashboards are more configurable.

Using Adobe Analytics
30 - Newsroom, Circulation and Advertising.
5 - Data Analyst, Senior Analyst and Data Scientist. Data Analyst needs to know how to use and query the data. Senior Analyst needs to know the structure of the website and how to pixel the pages to track the desired metrics.
- To gauge the popularity of the articles by different authors.
- To get the KPIs of the performance of the site.
- To analyst readers' behavior.
- Not that I can think of.
Evaluating Adobe Analytics and Competitors

Price is the most important factor given the cost control environment in our company.
The usability and users' needs should be re-evaluated to make sure the product meets our needs and people can use them without jumping the hoops.
