Overall Satisfaction with Chartbeat

We use Chartbeat to track individual stations and content across the station group. At NewsNation, we are dedicated to national news content from our 110 stations. Chartbeat's spike alerts are key to find trending content from across the group. We use Chartbeat's big board in our newsroom to monitor our local stations. I also use the heads-up display and headline testing to make strategic decisions when curating content.

Seeing breaking news in real-time is where Chartbeat shines. The big board is the biggest feature of this and I think is the most useful element of the platform.
It's just easy to use. Doesn't require training. If I have a question about a specific data point, I just hover and it tells me.
Google Analytics gives me a better overview of my site's performance, I think; however, when it comes to real-time insights, I always turn to Chartbeat.
I haven't had to interact with support, but their documentation is fantastic.
