"Robust Analytics Tool"

4.5/5

What do you like best about MonsterInsights?

MonsterInsights streamlines the process for integrating Google Analytics with WordPress sites. The free version is pretty easy to set up and use. Takes the headache out of WordPress customization and tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MonsterInsights?

MonsterInsights is a little clunky in some places. For example, in search of a Google global site tag, I went through the whole setup process again, only to not find the tag. Accessing and changing settings could be a little more straightforward and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I needed a quick solution to automate Google Analytics integration with my company's WordPress site. MonsterInsights was recommended as the easiest and best way to accomplish that task, and I'm happy I went this route. It saved me a lot of time trying to integrate my accounts using other, more manual methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MonsterInsights:

Hey Mike! Thanks for stopping by and for your comment. You’ll still be able to find all of your affiliate link clicks in your outbound links report if you don’t cloak them with a page path. They’ll just be in that report instead of the affiliate report. Try clicking the “view all outbound links” blue button at the bottom of the report. If you’d like some help navigating that data to see link clicks by page or something else, please reach out them . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I too am baffled. Can we not use the prefix and still get the report? And can we not use the Pretty Links plugin and still get the report? If so, how? Thank you very much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
