How would you rate your experience with Google Analytics?

What I like most about Google Analytics is that it brings deep insights into user behavior, traffic sources, and content performance together in one place. The real-time data, customizable dashboards, and detailed reports make it easier to track website performance accurately and understand what’s working. It also integrates smoothly with other Google products like Google Ads and Search Console, which helps make data-driven decision-making more effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The biggest downside for me is the learning curve—especially with GA4—which can feel quite complex for beginners. Some of the more advanced reports also require extra configuration before they’re truly useful, and data sampling or occasional delays can make analysis less straightforward at times. On top of that, customer support is largely documentation-based, which may not be enough when you’re dealing with urgent issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Google Analytics to monitor user behavior, user count, sessions, and other user-related metrics. It's very important for me to understand user behavior and performance on my websites, as I do SEO and run blogs. There are uncountable things I like about Google Analytics, but if I had to highlight one, it would be how clearly it shows where users came from and how they behaved on the site. This feature helps me understand which channels or pages are driving engagement and revenue, allowing me to improve, scale, or change the strategy accordingly. I also use Google Search Console together with Google Analytics for better insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface and options have become very complex after the GA4 update. If they can improve the interface, it will be the best. Also, the initial setup is difficult for beginners, but watching a tutorial on YouTube can help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the exploration features in Google Analytics because it allows me to build pivot tables, funnel visualizations, and path analysis that were impossible in the old version. The event-based models are also great since they mean I can track anything as an event, giving me custom visibility. I'm not limited to category, action, label anymore. I also appreciate that I can build audiences, like those likely to churn in seven days, and immediately put them in Google Ads to save those customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The transition was a nightmare. The UI is hostile. For a casual user, it's terrible. Simple reports like landing pages or traffic source are hidden deep in menus or require manual construction. It's not pick up and play like the old version. And data thresholding. This is the most annoying feature. If I drill down too deep, example, looking at a specific campaign with few clicks, Google Analytics hides the data to protect privacy. Showing me zeros even when I know there were visits.

What I appreciate most is how Google Analytics turns raw website activity into something meaningful. I use it daily to see where users are coming from, what pages they actually spend time on, and where they quietly drop off. The real time view is especially useful during launches or campaigns it's reassuring to see traffic appear instantly and confirm things are working as expected. Once dashboards are set up, checking performance becomes a habit rather than a task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I also miss how straight forward some reports where in the older version. for non technical users it can feel overwhelming at first, and a small configuration mistake can affect data accuracy without being obvious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Analytics has quietly become part of my daily workflow. Whenever I want to understand what's actually happening on website beyond just got feelings this is the first tool I open. It helps connect dots between traffic source user behaviour and conversion outcomes in a way that feels practical once you get the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple things that were easy before now take extra clicks or custom setup. Some reports feel over complicated and its easy to get lost if you don't already know what you are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Analytics provides deep, reliable insights into user behavior, traffic sources, and conversions. It helps me clearly understand how users interact with websites, which channels drive quality traffic, and where drop-offs happen in the funnel. The integration with Google Ads, Search Console, and other Google tools makes performance analysis and optimization much more effective. It is extremely powerful for data-driven decision making in marketing and SEO Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The biggest challenge is the learning curve, especially with GA4. The interface and event-based tracking model can feel complex for new users, and some standard reports require customization. Data sampling and delays in real-time accuracy can also be confusing at times. Better documentation and simpler default reports would improve usability for beginners.

I can open the dashboard and instantly understand where users are coming from, what pages they spend time on, and where they drop off. I personally use the Realtime and Acquisition reports a lot especially when I launching a new campaign or updating a page. It's also helpful that GA connects easily with Google Ads and Search Console, so I don't need to jump between tools to understand performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the data feels overwhelming, and I wish the interface explained why numbers change, not just show that they did. For beginners or non-technical users, it can feel confusing at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Google Analytics is the depth of insights it provides into user behavior across the entire customer journey. It allows us to track traffic sources, user engagement, and conversions in one place, helping us make data-driven marketing decisions. The real-time reporting, customizable dashboards, and seamless integration with other Google products like Google Ads and Search Console make it especially powerful for performance analysis and optimization.

The downside of GA is its learning curve, especially with GA4. The interface and reporting structure are not very intuitive at first, and finding specific metrics or building custom reports can take time. Some standard reports that were easily accessible in Universal Analytics now require extra configuration, and sampling or data discrepancies can occasionally make analysis less straightforward.

What I appreciate most about Google Analytics is the clarity with which it reveals user behavior on the website. It provides both real-time and historical insights into traffic sources, user journeys, conversions, and drop-offs, making it easier to pinpoint what is effective and what could be improved. The platform’s features for tracking goals, events, and funnels are particularly valuable for data-driven marketing and optimizing performance across different channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I dislike about Google Analytics is that if you want to see which companies are visiting your website, how many there are, and what pages they’re viewing, you can’t get that directly—it requires additional software or tools to get that level of insight.

What I like best is its seamless integration with the entire Google ecosystem. Connecting it to Google Ads and Google Search Console unlocks another level of insight, allowing us to see how our ad spend and SEO efforts translate into actual user behavior. It is the definitive source of truth for all of our website traffic data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Let's be honest, the user experience is a real challenge. The interface feels like it was designed for data scientists, not for the marketers and business owners who rely on it daily. Finding specific data points often feels like a treasure hunt. While the tool is powerful, you have to fight the interface to unlock that power, which is a significant and unnecessary drain on time and energy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
