What is Adobe Analytics?
Adobe acquired Omniture in 2009 and re-branded the platform as SiteCatalyst. It is now part of Adobe Marketing Cloud along with other products such as social marketing, test and targeting, and tag management.
SiteCatalyst is one of the leading vendors in the web analytics category and is particularly strong in combining web analytics with other digital marketing capabilities like audience management and data management.
Adobe Analytics also includes predictive marketing capabilities that help users find trends in customer behavior patterns leading up to conversion. According to the vendor, these insights can help predict which campaigns will be most successful.

“When I talk to clients about their Adobe setup I always make sure that they're tracking everything they can, that they've correctly defined their conversions, all with the RIGHT naming convention - I've seen totally inaccessible naming conventions SO many times that require cheatsheets and hours of calls, which again factors into that learning curve for newer staff members or staff that aren't as analytical but need insights.”

Good piece of software.... but...
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Adobe Analytics to have a better experience so that we can track several of our campaigns across multiple platforms in one home. It's just easier to see all at one place than to have to use multiple places to look at singular places and then have to compare using multiple windows - if I can do all in one I'm in for of that.
Pros
- Data Integration from multiple sites
- track website performance
- helps to understand behavior of customers
Cons
- Updates would be good
- It doesn't seem to be expanding as much as it could.
- Maybe a new Home Screen?
- Maybe be a bit faster?
Return on Investment
- This has let me improve my user engagement - because I can see all
- Lets us expand our conversion rates
- The modeling features are an advantage

Powerful tool for clients if its set up right if clients have training on getting the most out of it
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use it in a consultant capacity for clients, who use Adobe Analytics to track multiple web estates, either because they're part of the Adobe suite or they want to use something outside of Google Analytics, or because they want to track more steps than just their website. I'll use the data they have and recommend them to collect additional data to play insights back to the client in the scope of recommending CRO / UX improvements to the website based on behaviour observed
Pros
- Customisable dashboards
- Real time reporting
- No limits to dimensions and events
Cons
- In my opinion, it's not that friendly to use / there's a steeper learning curve than GA4
- In my opinion, the UI isn't great, it's fiddly, and you have to SAVE your reports which even I forget to do
- I think it's more complex to implement
- I think it's expensive, when there's free alternatives
Return on Investment
- Like any analytics tool, it helps clients understand more about on-site behaviour to make changes that impacts conversion rate positively
- It can get clients more involved if there are good dashboards built for them to review, which this allows easily
