Overall Satisfaction with Google Analytics 360 (formerly Google Analytics Premium)
I use Google Analytics 360 on multiple client accounts. It addresses the sampling issues of GA free, and allows you to have more goals & other metrics set up on your account.
- Unsampled data - which means you're not analysing 3% of a sample of data (which can cause issues).
- More goals to track - if you're managing multiple business lines/actions within one website this is essential.
- It still feels like clunky old Google Analytics and the UI isn't fantastic.
- Still sometimes slow to load.
- It's still quite difficult to visually present data to clients without other tools.
- Additional goals.
- Unsampled data.
- More certainty when reporting on unsampled reports, which helps with business decisions.
- Able to track goals for complicated businesses with lots of actions users can take.
It's only got a couple more features so for most businesses it's really hard to justify the price increase.
