I have seen many complaints about the new version of Google Analytics. I have to say that I don’t like it myself and have a hard time finding what I need. I was wondering how you feel about it and if you have any tips, suggestions or recommendations for other analytics programs to supplement GA?

Have a safe and happy New Year!

Generally new version of GA is ok. But I really miss overall traffic sourse comparison by %. I have to calculate in mind whether organic traffic grew since previous period or not.
The design is pretty awesome, but I’m not the fan of the new structure. Organic search is 4 clicks away!
The new version of GA is ok to me but I do get lost sometimes searching for paid vs organic data :(
I can’t say I’m a big fan of the new tool. The Real-Time (beta) and customizable dashboards are pretty cool though. Does my 2 cents matter in Google’s world? (:
I haven’t got used to it yet, it will probably just take me a while to get used to it.
I like the increased functionality. It will be interesting to see what happens with Urchin now that changes have happened and Google Analytic premium.
I don’t like the new version of GA at all. Everytime when i used to check my websites stats i have to click on old version, thanks its still there.
Visually, its excellent and I like the way it has been restructured.
It took me a while to get used to it but I am happy with the new version.
Google Analytic old structure was good and easy to handle.
When i download data for CSV for excel, everything appears in one cell and upside down! its not easy to use, it takes time to filter, format etc
NOOO.. I find that it takes longer to get the information i need.
