HockeyStack Reviews & Product Details

Over the years, I have had the pain of trying to get really good mixture of analytics and attribution when it comes to letting me know how much our marketing efforts are influencing and what impact its having. HockeyStack is the best for this to date and here is a few reasons why:

1 - HockeyStack, paints a much better strategic picture when it comes to understanding the impact of all our marketing efforts and it' connect to revenue. Not only does it help us understand what's working, it enables us to make quicker data driven decisions to scale quicker.

2 - HockeyStack brings all our paid efforts in one place. The marketing performance tracking by the platform gives us a view of influence and lift beyond metrics provide by other data providers and delivers insights which we can confidently action on some.

3 - Strategic Support and Collaboration . For us, this is a huge benefit. Our company is looking to scale at an sustainable pace and having Hockeystack is almost as an extension of our marketing team, which has been great. They take our data and collaborative with all our team in achieving our marketing goals. Not many providers offer such.

This has saved us from more tool bloat in this area and our revenue team is now enabled to grab this data and act on it. Understanding where a potential customer is in the buying journey allows our BDRs and AE's to personalize their approach and focus their efforts on those prospects most likely to convert.

Potential users should set aside time not only for the initial setup with the HockeyStack team but as well for carrying out an ongoing collaboration which will help scale efforts strategically. It is time-consuming, but one that can bring immense benefit to those prepared to invest the initial hours or so required.

One of the aspects of Hockeystack which I find somewhat of a dislike is the loading time for the reports. It provides priceless insights at the platform, though takes a little bit of time in generating reports and sometimes won't load at all. This causes certain delays to manifest during presentations, leaving room for awkward pauses and needs to be addressed. This is a small inconvenience compared to the overall benefits of the tool but this, definitely being an area, could be improved for user ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool’s intuitive interface makes it easy to track user behavior and measure the impact of our marketing campaigns. The real-time data has helped us make quick, informed decisions, Highly recommend it for teams looking to level up their analytics game! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup can be a bit complex, especially for teams without a dedicated analytics expert. Additionally, some of the more advanced features have a learning curve. Lastly, while the tool integrates well with most platforms, I wish there was functionality to automatically push insights out of HockeyStack and into CRMs, Salesforce, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hockeystack makes it really easy to see the impact marketing has had on actual pipeline, not just form fills or website conversions.

This is a game changer if you want how your marketing actually impacts sales - not just form fills and website conversions.

And it works even if your CRM data is messy. With Hockeystack, I can see everything from impressions on Linkedin all the way through to closed-won, and all of the interactions and touches inbetween.

It's so simple to install on your site and integrate with your marketing platforms. There have even been additional integrations that the team at Hockeystack has added when we've requested them. I use it everyday, and a lot of my strategy for ABM and growth in the upcoming year will be supported by Hockeystack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a learning curve. You get a lot of value out of the box, but the awesomeness just gets better as you learn all that the product is capable of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can quickly see what activities are having an impact, test and iterate. B2B sales cycles can take time, so over the longer term HockeyStack provides a detailed history of a buyer and their company's engagement with our content, website etc. This allows us to validate our approach but also opens our eyes to places where people are being positively impacted during their journey that we're not focusing on.

No real dislikes. The 'template' dashboards created by other marketers could be more accessible - I'd love to be able to one-click replicate a dashboard with the ability to then tweak for our business/use case - I'm pretty sure this is on the roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As far as multi-touch attribution software goes, HockeyStack is the best. Hands down. You have the ability to understand which channels are contributing to MQLs, SALs and actual closed/won opportunities. It's helped us understand where to put more budget, where to put less and how we might optimize channels that are underperforming. I especially like the lift reports that help us understand the impact a particular piece of content, or campaign or channel has on a prospect becoming a SQL or closed/won opportunity. It's amazing!

There's a steep learning curve here, for me at least. But, their support and customer success has given me the hand-holding I needed to get to a place where I'm proficient in the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HockeyStack is the perfect tool to create cross-platform reports to understand channel and content performance across different marketing activities.

The technical integration was super easy, and we received continuous, outstanding support from their team to help build our reports, answering all of our questions.

Their extensive market knowledge helps us look at signals and trends we would not have thought of otherwise.

The product has a lot of potential, as it constantly evolves - new features are coming out each month to improve UX and the range of use cases for customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HockeyStack has its own logic for reports, filters, and segments that need some getting used to.

For this platform to become our go-to reporting solution, we are waiting for some additional features to be rolled out. But we know that they are on the roadmap. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that Hockeystack has its own light code to track every single buyer touchpoints, connecting web, ad platforms and CRM/MAT makes it very powerful. The best part is working with their team. They are experts at what they do and that goes a very long way! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really, other than maybe a learning curve to learn to build reports, but still very short and attainable when comparing them to other traditional attribution software platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There never seems to be a limitration on what we can use HockeyStack to track. As the numerours questions posed to marketing teams come up, we can turn to HockeyStack to answer business critical questions.

Integrations with our tech stack are seamless and easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a learning curv to the dashboard constreuction but still hands over fists better than the new GA4.0. We have had to lean on their terrific support team for help at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So easy to implement! You just plug in your existing tech stack and boom - insights. I also love their customer service. They really collaborate with you to make sure you're getting the most out of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the inputs/syntax can be confusing, especially for new users who are still learning the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hockeystack successfully aggregates data from a bunch of different systems (Hubspot, Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads etc) which enables you to build reports and metrics on basically anything related to marketing and sales performance. The onboarding is also stellar, a solution like this will always be a bit overwhelming to get started with, given the complexity of the problem you are trying to solve. But with the help of Hockeystacks CS team you never feel abandoned, they push progress on our defined timeline and hold us accountable for what we need to do. In 2 weeks we understood the impact of our marketing spend better and utilized this data to alter budgets, so to say we have received value in a short timeline is an understatement.

I wouldn't buy Hockeystack and expect that it will solve all of your problems with little effort. Attribution is a tricky subject especially across 2+ data sources so it requires a person to invest some time to properly understand the tool, and how to use it for your specific business to get as much out of it as possible. With that said, when you have passed the initial step (understanding the product) then you will start to realize value very quickly by understanding your customers/prospects journeys better.
