- cissou 13y agoWell, Google Analytics is very generous. It's just that what you save by getting it for free, you have to invest in educating yourself.
- jcampbell1 13y agoI agree. It is hard to use, but if you keep up with it, it is better than Mixpanel in many ways. For instance, it doesn't load your users with massive cookies that slow the site down, particurarly on mobile browsers. The latest GA session cookie is very clean. I have seen many sites that would be strong and useful in the SERPS, but are trashed because they think they need to collect analytics from 6 different services. I have brought most of my A/B testing server side, because the site loads so fast, the A/B flicker affects the A/B test results.
- gk1 13y ago> It is hard to use, but if you keep up with it, it is better than Mixpanel in many ways. This basically sums up this entire discussion. GA is powerful, and for that you pay the price of a slight learning curve (or paying someone like me to set it up quickly). Oh, and it's free.
- dangrossman 13y agoI agree. This mess is exactly why people pay for KissMetrics, MixPanel and other analytics tools that do funnel reports really well.
- gk1 13y agoThis doesn't always hold. You don't pay for 99% of the services you use online (GMail, Facebook, HN, Reddit, etc).
