Key Findings:
• Deep data - Digital analytics software users want products that provide granular data for in-depth analysis.

• Dashboards and reporting - Reviewers want data to be accessible in a straightforward and aesthetically pleasing way.

Four of the 13 products featured in this report had ratings of 70 percent or below.

Reviewers recommended understanding the skill level of an analytics administrator when selecting a product, often noting that the full benefits of many products in this category can be best attained by a skilled, trained analyst or a dedicated staff member.
• Use tools together - While some products were described as robust enough to handle all digital analytics needs of an organization, reviewers recommended that many products in the category be used in conjunction with one another to ensure that all pertinent data is collected. Users suggested evaluating the true needs of an organization prior to selecting a product to avoid losing valuable data.
