I’ve been drowning in data lately. Too many dashboards, metrics, and reports.
Looking to streamline our analytics setup. Curious what tools or approaches others use to keep things simple and actionable.
Anyone found a good balance between depth and simplicity?
Stick to 3-5 key metrics. Ignore the rest. Saves time.
Focus on actionable metrics tied to revenue. Ditch vanity stats.
We track user acquisition cost, activation rate, and lifetime value. That’s it.
Set up automated alerts for significant changes. No need to stare at dashboards all day.
Have one person own analytics. They filter insights for the team weekly.
Keep it lean. You can always dig deeper if needed. But most decisions only need a handful of numbers.
I use Firebase Analytics for my apps. It’s built into the SDK, so setup is quick.
The dashboard shows key stuff like retention and revenue without much fuss.
I made a custom report with acquisition source, trial starts, and purchases. Check it weekly, tweak campaigns as needed.
Keeps things simple but gives me what I need to grow.
We use Google Analytics. Set up goals for key actions. Check weekly, make changes if needed. Simple but gets the job done.
Been there, data overload is real. Here’s what worked for us:
We picked one tool (Amplitude) and ditched the rest. Less login juggling, easier to train the team.
Then we built a single ‘North Star’ dashboard. It has our core funnel steps and 3-4 key metrics that actually move the needle.
We review it weekly as a team. Keeps everyone aligned without the noise.
For deep dives, we set up custom event tracking. But we only dig in when something looks off in the main dashboard.
Took some trial and error, but it’s way cleaner now. We actually use the data instead of drowning in it.
