Overall Satisfaction with Kissmetrics
I personally vetted and researched different analytics platforms two years ago. I realized that I had no idea if our blog content or social content was delivering top of the funnel leads and most importantly demos. After careful research and testing, I found that Kissmetrics is able to answer these questions and more! Currently, Kissmetrics is utilized by the marketing team, executive team and member success--with other departments researching the best way they can also use the data that Kissmetrics provides!
It would be hard to list all the ways we currently use Kissmetrics and how it has revolutionized our marketing efforts--but a small taste of what we the platform for is:
It would be hard to list all the ways we currently use Kissmetrics and how it has revolutionized our marketing efforts--but a small taste of what we the platform for is:
- Tracking leads and demos from content and social media (this works perfect and has allowed us to nimbly change content strategies and social posts to hit on topics that provide the best return.
- Tracking how event leads interact with our website after an event (this is something that I came up with and surprised even our Kissmetrics account rep).
- Track account-based marketing leads and sees if our offline efforts get them to our website.
- Track website popup performance.
Pros
- Track desktop and mobile sessions for a single user.
- Provide high-level detail on how different user-defined funnels are performing.
- Ease of install--seriously, most people can easily install the tracking code themselves and have this running in minutes.
Cons
- Installing.... yes this is also a negative. While you can install and have the program running in minutes, if you use Unbounce, the form tracking process is quite complicated!
- Updates... I feel like the product updates have slowed a lot lately. Thankfully, the product functionality is so amazing that it hasn't impeded the use of it. However, it is still disappointing to see less frequent software updates.
- Occasionally clunky UI... there are a few reports that are really easy to mess up and leave you scratching your head on why it isn't showing you any data.
- We have used Kissmetrics to accurately track social campaigns, Google Ads and more. Being able to know if blog A or B brings in more leads is extremely valuable to our organization.
- We use Kissmetrics to track how users land on a landing page, bounce off the page without a form field but then fill out a demo form on our website. (This has helped us to track Adwords spending and actual demos created from a Google Ad's campaign).
- Heap and Optimizely
It has been a while since I demoed Heap and Optimizely but the main points that stick out in my head are that Kissmetrics had more transparent and cheaper pricing. Kissmetrics offered all the same functionality, and at least from my personal experience, the staff at Kissmetrics was easier to work with and nicer to interact with.
