I have recently been trained in Adobe Analytics for creating reports about users for our website/app. Adobe reports how many people use our website/app including which pages they view and which links they click.
With every reporting tool I have created reports in, one of my goals was that I was not creating and publishing reports that no one was using.
My in house subject matter expert for Adobe is telling me that Adobe Analytics, a web based reporting tool to track web page usage, does not track who uses which report?!
Please help me. Is this true? Where can I find verification of this very ironic fact?

I went through google analytics and adobe analytics for the mobile app. I see that you can track who your users are, retention rate, how much time users are spending, attribution tracking, customer parameter tracking, referral tracking.
Google Analytics dashboard generates all these reports real time. Same adobe analytics does. GA has more advantage in terms of cost as it is free for small companies product, implementation is also easy and dashboard is quite easy to use.
Where adobe analytics to use ?
Short answer: Use Adobe when you want a more advanced and customizable analytics tool and when the complexity of it isn't an issue.
Slightly longer answer: Adobe analytics is extremely customizable and there are options to add enhanced conversion tracking. Basically you can track whatever you want, exactly the way you want it tracked.
Pros/Features that are more advanced in Adobe analytics:
path reports & PathFinder
flexible segmentation within the reporting tool
predictive insights
ability to visualize your entire conversion funnel
I would personally start with using Google analytics and if it is insufficient for the project I would look into Adobe analytics, especially in a large company with large requirements. Though, there are situations where it makes more sense to use Google analytics like in an e-commerce site.
Am working on an OTT platform for that I need to build an analytics dashboard similar to YouTube Studio which must includes most watched content, watch time, content views, live users count etc. So my question is there any tool available to achieve this, if not can someone guide me how can I build this (what are the tools/technologies required)?
You could use Google Data Studio. In the data studio, you can import your analytics data and create some dashboards for reports. actually, they have a youtube dashboard as a template maybe you wanna lookout.
ı think data studio is better than analytics. because in google analytics there are so many data and some of them not useful for other companies so in data studio you can put your data wherever you want.
you can learn easily data studio but there are some courses on the internet. you can learn from that.
What are available options of intranet-hosted (e.g. not Google Analytics) usage tracking tools for web application? This application is written in ASP.NET and used in intranet. So ideally if hosted part would be on .NET for consistency. I want to see where user clicks, what pages visit, what buttons clicks.
i can only recommend Piwik, which i used for some time, and produced great results (and it is open-source!)
Is there any reason you wouldn't use SaaS version for usage tracking?
Commercial solutions such as Totango (my company) honor your privacy and confidentiality.
I would like to have framework for tracking web site/page usage within company firewalls on asp.net platform.
Want to track hits and integrate with particular feature within an application to understand end user usage (i.e. log particular actions of users in addition to simple page count type analytics)
I have yet to find a framework to do this with asp.net/iis7 internal to a company (i.e. not google analytics)
thx
If you don't need anything too fancy, as in number of visits to urls, and you've got the clearance to install perl/CGI scripts, you could use awstats. It isn't bad for what it is and has the advantage of being free.
If you are down to spend some $$$ or you really need google analytics, you can host your own by purchasing an urchin license.
I've been doing research on reporting suites for a project my company is about to undertake, and have narrowed the candidates down to Active Reports and Crystal Reports.
During the demo yesterday, it was clarified to me that one of the capabilities our client would like is the ability for the end-user to create custom reports integrated into the Web-Based client. I know that both packages have options for integrating an end-user designer to a WinForms based app, but I can't find a definitive straight yes or no answer for either suite as to whether or not it's possible to attach them to an ASP.Net based app.
My instinct is no, but I was hoping somebody with more experience in reporting suites could give me a solid yes or no.
I can't speak for Active Report, but it's not hard to find someone who loathes Crystal Reports. AFAIK crystal report editing on web requires BOXI which cost allot but includes a much better reporting tool called web intelligence or "webbi", think of it as a web based pivot table.
No mater which produced you end up choosing if you don't have a star schema the end users are going to have a hard and frustrating time creating reports. Even if you have an abstraction layer you are going hit walls.
Curious why did you decide against SSRS? If you already own SQL server you already have a license.
I used to love activereports. Haven't used them in a while. Did you know that visual studio has built in reporting? So does SQL Server.
I agree with jms, it's not hard to find someone who hates crystal reports.
