Before you switch — what Publytics does well
Strengths
- The Zero Sample technology does not leave out any data point; without sampling data, it can track websites with millions of page views in a few seconds with great accuracy
- Publishers don't need to create separate custom metrics to get a data-backed view of traffic sources and author-level performance
- It also offers multi-grouping network from a single dashboard
And where it was marked down
- Publytics offers in-depth charts and graphs on user behaviour based on the filters set by the publishers, but the charts could be more sophisticated visually
- Users lacking technical expertise might find it challenging to add custom dimensions according to preferences and create personalized reports
- Though the platform has clear documentation with clear steps, it should feature more case studies
