"Great analytics tool"
What do you like best about Kissmetrics?

Kissmetrics is a great tool for analytics, especially if you're looking to see in-depth insight on visitor journey instead of just visitor figures and pageviews.

What do you dislike about Kissmetrics?

Not much, though the price can be a bit too high for some businesses (especially small businesses/small brands).

"Analytics Focus On Visitors, Not Pages"
What do you like best about Kissmetrics?

Kissmetrics was one of the first analytics platforms to really focus their attention on individual visitors rather than page views. In doing so, they allow marketers to understand the visitor's journey and provide a better experience.

What do you dislike about Kissmetrics?

Kissmetrics can be a little pricey for some small businesses, and not all businesses need to spend additional money on online analytics.

"Helped us to increase our conversions"
What do you like best about Kissmetrics?

Kissmetrics is easier to use than Google Analytics if you are trying to create funnel metrics. We were able to quickly assign URL's to specific funnels to test out the conversions

What do you dislike about Kissmetrics?

There can be a bit of a learning curve at first - it is pretty overwhelming, and you can suffer from analysis paralysis as a result. It does take a lot of effort and time to set up

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

We are a memberships business - and we are always trying to find a way to test out different campaigns to find the most efficient path for someone to become a member. This allows to see how our tests are performing

"Difficult to use, but extremely powerful, flexible, and worth the investment"
What do you like best about Kissmetrics?

The best thing about Kissmetrics is the combination of power and flexibility that it provides. Once you figure out how to set up and run reports, you can get valuable insight into all kinds of actions that take place on your site and track important conversion data. There are other tools that do this, but none that work quite the way Kissmetrics does (at least not that I'm aware of). Overall, the best thing about Kissmetrics is that it allows to do data-driven marketing better, and we simply have not seen another tool that could be a one-to-one replacement for it on the market.

What do you dislike about Kissmetrics?

It's not particularly intuitive and the learning curve is steep. You'll need to spend some time learning how to use it in order to get real value from it. The UI isn't particularly easy to get around either, and there are some other small quality-of-life improvements that could be made that aren't in the product right now. The ability to email data exports to more than one user account, for example, would be a major convenience.

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

We're solving problems around tracking and measurement that would be difficult to solve without it. The primary benefit we've seen is that we're able to track conversion rates all the way down the funnel in a way that yields incredibly valuable insights that we can then use to guide all kinds of decision-making. Without Kissmetrics, it would be tough to know exactly which content and URLs are driving which actions that are specifically turning into leads and sales.

"Powerful analytics tool"
What do you like best about Kissmetrics?

How easy it is to set up events, properties, and reports. That's very important, because with other tools I've tried things became so complex, that you're not encouraged to dig deeper. The ease with which you can set up these things with Kissmetrics makes that you'll easily measure various aspects. The barrier is not high.

What do you dislike about Kissmetrics?

The support for Single Page Applications is limited. Because of this, we still needed involvement of our developers to set it up. Besides that, I haven't run into something I didn't like.

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

Answer: where do our best customers and signups come from? And how do they behave in our app? It helps us optimize our app in a more focused manner.

"Great for analyzing user behavior on your website/app"
What do you like best about Kissmetrics?

The two main things why I recommend Kissmetrics are: 1. How easily you can change from first touch to last touch attribution. It has never been so easy to discover the origin of a visit versus assisted conversions. 2. How you can fully understand groups of users behavior with the populations' report.

What do you dislike about Kissmetrics?

The fact that everytime you want to export a report (which you do most of the time), you need to wait for an email. This makes things super slow.

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

We are understanding our user's behavior in the app, this makes it easier to take desitions about where to go next.

"Valuable for ALL ecommerce sites"
What do you like best about Kissmetrics?

KISSmetrics is the ultimate way for digital marketers to track their progress. Often other tools don't dive in depth on how campaigns are working, or not. With KISSmetrics marketers can easily show clients or team members how campaigns have impacted the business.

What do you dislike about Kissmetrics?

It does take some poking around to get a feel for the software. There's lots of data to sift through and if it's not set up correctly it can be difficult to locate what you need. When there's multiple campaigns and tracking going on it can become very difficult to keep track of what's going on. It's beneficial to perform some housekeeping, which is time consuming.

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

With all the detailed data we are able to provide clients with some excellent reports. How many people actually review the CRO reports is another question. However, in house the digital marketing reports have proven very helpful.

"A few killer features and nice UI"
What do you like best about Kissmetrics?

The funnel reports are easy to build and provide a tonne of value. Also the 'user path' reports are awesome but locked to pro users only. It's very easy to set up, especially if using Segment.io or similar service.

What do you dislike about Kissmetrics?

The dashboard frequently takes a long time to load, and occasionally hangs (does not load at all).

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

More visibility into our conversion funnel.. from a visitor on our website to a paid user. Using Kissmetrics allows us to identify common traits with cohorts of users... this is extremely valuable to us.

"Using Kissmetrics to understand individual site visitor behaviours"
What do you like best about Kissmetrics?

We use Kissmetrics to understand how individual visitors interact with the learning resources on our site to help them build digital marketing strategies. Through knowing how individuals interact we can use the API to integrate with our Marketing Automation system to score leads and follow-up with email or phone conversatons.

What do you dislike about Kissmetrics?

There is a fee compared to the free version of Google Analytics, but we think it's worthwhile for the insights that we get. As with all SaaS there may be some downtime, but we don't find this a problem in practice.

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

We also use Kissmetrics for business reporting - our financial performance from different member plans. We also use it for Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO). For SmartInsights.com, not only are we able to increase traffic to basic membership by 214% but we now have ways to increase our monthly recurring revenue significantly by converting more free members to paid.

"Easy to use!"
What do you like best about Kissmetrics?

It was very easy to implement on our e-commerce. Anyone can do it, just read all the information the Kissmetrics has before tryng to do anything.

What do you dislike about Kissmetrics?

Answers from support take a while. Lack of support in portuguese (Brazil)

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

As we are a start-up and short of people, we wanted to use as easy way to collect data to drive some of our decision and understand better our business.

"Powerful and reliable"
What do you like best about Kissmetrics?

What I like best about Kissmetrics is its reliability as an analytics tool. We mess with a lot of data that needs to be aliased between users, with a lot of properties and yet, when some other tools fail to do that, Kissmetrics manage to handle all of this very well. I usually go to Kissmetrics if I need the real numbers.

What do you dislike about Kissmetrics?

It can become really messy and complicated, especially when it uses specific terms that are not very explicit (e.g "Power reports"). The UX is probably to the most effective and therefore the learning curve is a bit high at first.

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

Performance issue and data extraction for the sales team. Kissmetrics allows us to get the real numbers and provide export features that quickly actionable.
