    Initial thoughts are it looks good – especially the ability to automatically track filtered analytics trends and receive alerts when there has been a drop etc. That’s a great piece of functionality and should save a lot of time.

    Problem is that we are getting more and more tied in with GA (either as a client or agency) and that worries me – all this raw data sits with G and we have no way of getting hold of it should we choose to.

    The alert on sudden changes in traffic is awesome. It’ll allow us to spin up another server in a cloud environment if we get a rush. This is a feature I’ve been begging for.
