Key Findings:
- Lack of training materials — Users pointed out that some of the digital analytics products allowed them the flexibility to implement a custom solution to track marketing efforts, campaigns, and scenarios. However, according to users, that reporting robustness translates to a lack of “out of the box” use and a very steep learning curve. Many users also explained that training and documentation is necessary in order to unleash the full potential and advanced use of digital analytics tools; unfortunately, users said that some of the products don’t even offer an introductory video and training tutorials.
- Unreliable data — Users said they turn to digital analytics products to fully understand customer journeys and pain points, but expressed frustration at unreliable or imprecise data collected using digital analytics tools. Users said that the need to set up a variety of filters, just to obtain accurate, non-spam-influenced data is much too time-consuming. Some users also point out that the inability to modify historical data is less than beneficial when wanting to track campaign elements.
