Which decision should the reporting help you make?
Write down three questions, load a small verified sample and reconcile a report with its source records. Test a viewer account and an administrator account, and check what happens when source data arrives late or changes.
Match the tool to the question
Traffic tools explain visits. Product analytics follows application events. Business intelligence queries existing data. A dashboard cannot correct a mismatch between the question and the source.
Plan collection and access together
Specify which data enters the system, who may query it and when it is removed. Avoid collecting sensitive fields simply because an integration can send them.
Budget for the source and the report
Querying a production database and processing event streams create different loads. Measure representative volumes and protect the underlying systems from expensive reporting workloads.
Bring to the hosting conversation: Data sources, event volume, query load, retention, access and consent requirements.
How should I compare the analytics & reporting in this collection?
Website statistics, product events, business dashboards and log reports use different data and operating models. Choose the question first, then the collection method, reporting interface and level of administration needed to answer it.
What should I prepare before hosting one of these analytics applications?
Data sources, event volume, query load, retention, access and consent requirements. Each application's profile links to its official project for current requirements and licensing.
What is a useful first test for a analytics application?
Write down three questions, load a small verified sample and reconcile a report with its source records. Test a viewer account and an administrator account, and check what happens when source data arrives late or changes.
