Overall Satisfaction with Chartbeat
Chartbeat is used across the whole organization and gives us real-time audience metrics.
- Real-time audience metrics are best in class
- HUD on live webpages makes it easy to see real-time information
- Rankings of most-clicked links on homepage are widely used internally
- Referral sources are hard to interpret and aren't granular enough
- There's a live display of referring tweets, Facebook posts, etc., but not a historical analysis of which sent the most traffic
- Available historical data isn't robust
- Our objective is traffic, and Chartbeat provides real-time metrics on that traffic, so it's critical
Identifying content that is performing well in real-time is hugely beneficial so we can improve upon that content and work on directing users from that content to more content. Identifying underperforming content in real-time is also hugely beneficial so we can try to better optimize that content.
Larger analytics suites like Google Analytics and Omniture simply do not provide the kind of real-time data that Chartbeat does. I have used Parse.ly which has some interesting real-time features as well; I would say Parse.ly is similar in terms of ease of use, though Chartbeat does give you the feeling of using a best-in-class product.
