"Effortless Analytics Integration for WordPress"

4/5

What do you like best about MonsterInsights?

I use MonsterInsights for WordPress websites to get data analytics, and it helps me track various inputs of traffic and how they interact with our website. I really like its simplicity and ease of use. It was easy to install with just a single click, and I could link it with other data providers, which was really cool. I also found MonsterInsights easier to use than the default Google plugin, which is why I switched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Disappointing Experience with MonsterInsights"

0.5/5

What do you like best about MonsterInsights?

none Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MonsterInsights?

I don't find the features useful - it is an expensive service that GoogleAnalytics can provide in greater depth. They need to improve their refund experience - they refused to refund me out of the 14-day window and refund a pro-rata for my annual subscription. They are GREEDY and do not care about their client's post-service experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplifies Google Analytics for WordPress Users"

4/5

What do you like best about MonsterInsights?

I use MonsterInsights to track and understand website performance directly inside WordPress. I like how it translates the complex Google Analytics data and simplifies it, making it easy to understand even for non-technical users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MonsterInsights?

I think some advanced data insights and customization options are locked inside high tier plans. Sure, some feature like the ability to create custom dashboard based on goals like SEO, content performance, lead generation etc, more flexible event and conversation tracking configuration.

"Great marketing, poor product"

0/5

What do you like best about MonsterInsights?

It provided very high level insights into the website but it's what you can easily see in Google Analytics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MonsterInsights?

It's not user-friendly. The analytics was quite basic and you can see more in Google Analytics. The market certainly over promises so it wasn't what we needed at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MonsterInsights solving and how is that benefiting you?

MonsterInsights was supposed to provide us with insights into visitors for our website and what they were interacting with / downloading. However, the information is very basic and you're better off using Google Analytics.

I stopped using it but they didn't refund for our remaining 10-11 months so make sure you look into this properly before signing up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
