Overall Satisfaction with Parse.ly

Parse.ly is largely used to track real-time traffic as well as a map where users go from the get-go.

Pros

  • Tracking real-time traffic.
  • Following users across the site.
  • Showing traffic sources

Cons

  • Reporting functionality could be improved.
  • It would be helpful if Parse.ly updated content without a recrawl on our end.
  • It would be helpful if we could isolate traffic by the time period of publication, not just by time period — e.g. be able to see traffic ONLY for pieces published in a certain time frame without the noise of other content.
  • Parse.ly has helped us get a better sense of when users are on our site
  • Parse.ly allows us to react in real-time to user behavior.
  • Parse.ly has given us a means to track our users on our site.
Parse.ly is heads and tails above Google Analytics in terms of load speed and depth of information that's readily available.
Support can take awhile.
