StatCounter vs. Visitor Queue

Free services provide a wonderful resource for people on tight budgets. If willing to put forth work in data managing/analysis and If basic high traffic information or drilling down specific users in low traffic situations is needed, then StatCounter may fit your needs. If automation and low overhead are a high priority then some more expensive packages can provide the same and more information with less hassle. Because StatCounter is free, there is low risk to see if StatCounter works in your specific usage scenario.

[Visitor Queue is] very useful to track visitors to your website where they have interacted with a page but not filled out a lead form.

• I can visit my site in real time showing pages visited and the duration of the visit.
• It shows very detailed data on where visitors came from.
• I could monitor the performance of campaigns in real-time as visitors came to my site from a promotion.

• Helps identity each lead in a greater details
• By clicking on the lead, I'm able to see all information on the page
• Structured and proper analysed

• For the free version data logging is limited to two weeks, which requires manual pulling of the data (CSV or excel formats) on a regular basis which can become tedious.
• For offline graphing/presentations, data must be re synthesized/visualized. This typical requires someone manual manipulation the data or develop scripts or coding to improve the collection of the data for offline presentation and records.
• Lacks some of the pretty visuals that can be seen in competitors such as Google Analytics.
• Lacks user specific in depth tracking across multiple services (mailchimp, google etc), like more fully featured platforms (Kissmetrics) are able to provide.

• Having all websites combined into one so you don't have to add filters to each one separately
• The buttons should be a little clearer (maybe use words instead of buttons) so it's easier to find where things are on the site

I have not had any issues with malfunctions when using statcounter, so that would lead me to continue using the program. I would like to see more social media measuring tools, but again, we don't use the program to dig really deep. We're just looking to figure out who is reading what articles on our website are the most liked. And it helps lead our editorial team in the right direction.

we are still early stage and costs are a little bit high and we need to have a bigger team to optimize the outcome

I never have to call tech support and never get frustrated because I can't get the information that I need.

it was pretty straight forward and easy to use with small teams

we had no problems in getting support

the training was ok, we knew the basics and we didnt need intensive training.

It was easy to implement and we did not have any issiues

Statcounter excels with the simplicity and efficiency of the analytics. You can see exactly what's going on on your sites without the need to dig into complex google analytics data.

I evaluated Lead Forensics. It's very similar to Visitor Queue but more expensive and I would say the only thing that seems to be a bit better is their dashboard is more comprehensive/visual.

• It's been great to track positive reactions to changes in our website and new product offerings
• Also a great way to roughly estimate the demand and customer base for your products
• Also identifies what areas of the website could be improved base on low traffic

Incentivized

• We did not select the tool.
• It was in the top 3 of solutions we looked at
• Again, we had a unique requirement and it didn't fit
