Overall Satisfaction with Chartbeat
Chartbeat has some beautiful graphics for analyzing your website metrics. Often it is a good idea to use a few alternatives to Google Analytics to see if you uncover any new data for optimising your business flow.
A nice alternative to GA. Does some real-time analytics in a unique way.

- Real-time data is Chartbeat's strength. Their "NOW" dashboard gives you actionable information.
- Chartbeat can show me multiple sites in one view.
- A nice alternative to Google Anaytics.
- You're going to need additional metrics data to look at trends and patterns across periods of time.
- I'm not a huge fan of the "fuel-gauge" type of chart for data reporting.
- I'd like Chartbeat to go deeper into the data. Let me drill down a few levels and give me the same beautiful graphics.
- Using real-time analytics you can make quick adjustments to new content that is not getting the expected uptick.
- Identify content that is trending up, and give it a boost.
- Get a good view of your audience and activity on multiple sites at once.
GA is free, but often hard to use. Allowing access to GA for a client can often lead to a ton of unnecessary conversations like, "Hey why is this page doing so poorly." For a 30,000 ft view, you can give your executive what they want to see without opening the entire kimono.
I currently use Gaug.es. It's cheaper and a bit more simplified. But I like it's quick read format that allows me to view all 10 of my clients sites at once.
