Understanding Report Suites

What is a Report Suite?

A report suite in Adobe Analytics is a data collection entity that allows you to define and manage a set of metrics, dimensions, and segments to analyze the performance of your digital properties. It acts as a container for the data collected from your website, mobile app, or other digital platforms. Each report suite collects and processes data independently, enabling detailed and segmented analysis specific to different parts of your business or different digital properties.


Explain certain key characteristics of a Report Suite

  1. Segmentation: You can create separate report suites for different sections of your business. For example, if you have multiple websites or apps, each can have its own report suite to keep the data distinct and easily manageable.
  2. Customization: Report suites can be customized to capture specific metrics, dimensions, and events that are relevant to your business needs.
  3. Data Governance: By having separate report suites, you can control access to data, ensuring that only relevant stakeholders have access to specific datasets.


Explain Report Suites with an example

  1. Global and Regional Sites: Global Report suites collects data from all regions and provides an overarching view of the company’s digital performance. It is useful for executives and global marketing teams who need a high-level overview whereas Regional Report Suites collect data specific to a particular region, such as North America, Europe, or Asia-Pacific. This allows regional teams to focus on localized metrics and user behaviour.
  2. E-commerce Sites: Main E-commerce Site Report Suite tracks overall sales, conversion rates, product performance, and customer journeys for the primary e-commerce site while Campaign-Specific Report Suites are temporary report suites set up to track specific marketing campaigns, promotions, or seasonal sales events. They help in measuring the direct impact of these campaigns on sales and user engagement.
  3. Multiple Brand Sites: Brand A Report Suite - If a company owns multiple brands, each brand can have its own report suite to track brand-specific metrics, user engagement, and marketing effectiveness. Brand B Report Suite - Similarly, another report suite for a different brand within the same company. This segmentation helps in managing and analyzing data specific to each brand’s audience and marketing strategies.
  4. Mobile Apps: Android App Report Suite collects data exclusively from the Android version of a mobile app, including user behavior, in-app purchases, and engagement metrics while iOS App Report Suite collects data from the iOS version of the app. This separation allows for detailed analysis of user behavior across different operating systems, which can be crucial for app optimization and marketing strategies.


What are the benefits of using Report Suites?

  • Data Isolation: Prevents data from different sources from getting mixed up, ensuring clarity in analysis and reporting.
  • Focused Analysis: Enables detailed and specific analysis for different segments of your business.
  • Tailored Metrics and Dimensions: Each report suite can be configured to capture the most relevant data for its specific use case.
  • Access Control: Allows for setting up access permissions based on roles, ensuring that users only see data relevant to their responsibilities.


Example in Practice

Imagine a company, "Tech Innovators", that operates globally and has multiple digital properties, including a main website, a blog, and two mobile apps (one for Android and one for iOS).

  • Global Report Suite: Collects data from the main website, blog, and both mobile apps. Used for overall performance analysis.
  • North America Report Suite: Collects data specifically from users in North America across all properties.
  • Europe Report Suite: Focuses on user data from Europe.
  • Main Website Report Suite: Dedicated to tracking user behavior and performance metrics specifically on the main website.
  • Android App Report Suite: Monitors user interactions and performance on the Android app.
  • iOS App Report Suite: Monitors the same for the iOS app.

Interesting! Poornima Thakur - Nice Insights.. A few points which can be added to this. 1. Data Integration - Data can come in many forms, text, pictures, sounds, or Video... Data analytics tends decipher data into meaningful information, by converting various forms of data into comprehsible format. - While you might need a CEM/Hadoop Cluster for that. 2. Insight generation - It helps you with identifying various relationships of data - This helps in Market Basket Analysis - Eg on Amazon you get - Users who brought this also brought this. 3. Predictive Analytics - By Analzing behavior of subscribers/users you can predict weather they will upgrade/churn and what might be the tipping point. 4. Machine Learning and AI - This helps in creating programs which take input from previous models and design future outcomes.. This is a topic I can speak on for hours.. :)
