Parse.ly pros and cons

  • Real-time views and at-a-glance dashboards make it fast to see what content is resonating and how traffic is performing.

  • Users value the clear breakdown of traffic and referral sources, including social and platform-level attribution.

Describe the project or task Parse.ly helped with: Website analytics, similar to Google Analytics. What do you like best about Parse.ly?

What do you dislike about Parse.ly? The interface appears to be very strongly based on Google Analytics. I think they could make it more user-friendly by thinking outside the box ...
