Ask HN: What are some features you wish you had on Analytics Tools?

5 pointsby Seth_Ralmost 10 years ago
Are using an Analytics tools and dying to have a feature that it just doesn't exist? What are the main features that will really help you understand the bigger picture better? What's missing in Mixpanel / Google Analytics etc ?

GA became so cluttered with useless and weirdly named links, options, menus&#x2F;submenus that it takes 10 clicks of unfolding the mess of layers just to see organic stats.<p>It doesn&#x27;t show IP addresses (never was), stopped showing keywords people typed to find your site (for a few years now). Referrers stats are full of referrer spam that Google fails to address.<p>I actually built my own analytics based on Splunk (Traffic Ray - free app on splunk base)) that does exactly what I want - my need is to blend functions of security analytics and basic marketing needs.

I wish GA had a real concept of a user. It&#x27;s very difficult to incorporate &quot;offline&quot; events like cancellations that occur over the phone.
