Adobe Analytics features and capabilities
As part of the Adobe Experience Cloud suite of business tools, Adobe Analytics can be seamlessly integrated with other technology to drive actionable insights and powerful data visualizations like never before.
It starts with Analysis Workspace
Analysis Workspace is the main interface for data visualization and processing. Think of it as the cockpit from which to explore, view, and generate insights.
It’s designed for flexibility and allows users to generate reports they want without needing to write code or rely on rigid or predefined templates.
Digital marketers using this platform for the first time will be impressed by how much customization is possible.
Follow your customers from start to finish with Customer Journey Analytics
Imagine having the power to see your brand through your customer’s eyes. That’s what Adobe Customer Journey Analytics (CJA) offers. Analyzing and visualizing your customers based solely on web metrics gives only a fraction of the whole story. But, by using CJA, your digital marketing team can:
- Gain a 360-degree view of your customer using report suites
- Combine multiple data sources (anywhere you collect customer data, i.e., CRM, mobile, in-store, etc.)
- See end-to-end customer behaviors
- Interact with data using drag-and-drop functionalities to create your own in-depth analysis and view your data in new ways
- Use detailed audience segmentation to develop more personalized marketing campaigns that really speak to the core of your target audience’s needs and pain points
Get the full picture with Web analytics and Mobile analytics
User experience optimization starts with a thorough analysis of customer behavior. With Digital Analytics for Web and Mobile, your analysts can collect digital data in real time from every channel using the mobile app and convert it to the format you need for accelerated on-the-spot analysis.
- Collect, view, and manage customer information while maintaining data privacy compliance no matter where you or your users are in the world.
- Use AI to uncover customer behavior, detect anomalies, and identify issues contributing to these anomalies
- Optimize segmentation to discover retention and churn patterns
- Use high-powered channel analytics to map out exact customer journeys and identify where your customers are converting and where there’s friction.
Discover product engagement levels with Adobe Product Analytics
Adobe has made it easy to analyze your digital products with its purpose-built Adobe Products Analytics. Your product, marketing, and analytics teams can quickly and easily use the collected data to discover conversion bottlenecks, performance levels of product features, and user interactions both on and offline.
- Collect real-time event data at scale and turn it into a single customer view while maintaining the flexibility you need to improve, correct, and customize your data on the go.
- Empower your teams with analysis tools and out-of-the-box views that are designed to make it easy for marketers, product managers, and analysts to understand data and develop insights, track user behavior, and analyze test performance.

Catalog and analyze all your content with Adobe Content Analytics
At Bluprintx, we’re helping marketing teams leverage the power of Adobe’s Content Supply Chain to maximize their ROI. Through AI and machine learning, teams can scale content personalization at an exponential rate to meet the ever-growing demands of customers, and to keep up with the sheer volume of content needed to stay competitive across all channels.
The Adobe Content Analytics feature supports these demands by facilitating the collection and analysis of content datasets from across all websites, apps, and digital spaces.
For example, the Content Analytics feature automatically extracts and organizes your site graphics by their detailed elements (even down to mood, emotion, color, tone, etc.) and generates a detailed profile for every single asset.
It bridges the gap between events and customer behavior to help your teams understand how users are engaging with your content, whether or not your images are driving conversions, or whether content fatigue has settled in.
- Comprehensive data filters help teams gain a thorough understanding of customer engagement.
- Asset thumbnails make it easy to scan through images inside the interface.
- Platform users receive alerts when content data anomalies are detected, e.g. when there are sudden drops or spikes in engagement.
