Without a doubt, the best feature of Parse.ly is the Overview dashboard. Lots of real-time data presented in a clean interface - the sliding animations are a nice touch as well! Everyone here who access the service has that screen on *all the time*. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's very little to dislike. The web interface is excellent though I would like a dark theme option. If a dark option's not possible, perhaps a little more contrast between dashboard sections and larger, darker fonts especially when displayed with a color background. Lastly, the Share link could be more evident than it is now. Different charting options would be an excellent enhancement as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I enjoy how much detail you can get in reviewing content, either by date or by author or section or even individual newspapers. I have tabs open for multiple newspapers, all day every day. I could not do my job as an editor without Parse.ly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Really have no basis from comparison for these types or tools, so hard to negatively judge it. Sometimes we get duplicate headlines show up, but that could be from a user end and not a Parse.ly issue. All in all, it's a great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The different views easily convey the information they are intended to track and also answer a broad range of questions. The display also makes the experience much more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
None immediately come to mind, however more customizable solutions and data cuts for certain use cases could broaden the application of information I get from parse.ly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've used many different analytic tools before, but Parse.ly is the only one I think I've ever truly understood how to use. I never thought I would be excited about an analytics website, but I had used Parse.ly at my previous organization, and I was so excited when my current one switched to it too. I like that I can customize my dashboard's layout, and it's super helpful that I can see how our articles are doing in real-time. I also find the reports you can create and set up emails for extremely useful. There are probably a lot more tools within Parse.ly that I haven't used yet, so I'm excited to explore and learn more within Parse.ly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do wish that you could still see the little pictures associated with each item when you have more than two columns on your dashboard. Also, I'm not docking points for this because I don't know if it's even possible, but I wish you could retroactively see analytic data and that you could exclude specific posts from being counted. For example, reports often have our paywall page as the top/one of the top posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the overall breakdown of stats by author, article, and month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'd like it to be more user-friendly. There appear to be many features and to find specific data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The speed it updates. The quick information presented using any of the topics and traffic sources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would like more tabs to activate in the overview window. Would be nice to drag and drop info you want to see immediately. If I could have multiple Posts columns, Referrers and Authors to watch it would be good. The 3 rows are good but more would be great. Think Tweetdeck Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being able to see live website results is incredible - especially by day and the last 10 minutes. Extremely valuable to my role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish it was easier to see past days and the entire list of totals for that day and by article. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far our work team has not presented problems, delays or complaints from clients during the performance of their duties while using Parse.ly, despite the fact that infrastructurally it has small errors, they do not affect development, however the system continues to improve and offer new tools.

Real time updates on performance of stories. Rewards for good performance. (i.e. you're having a fine day). The 'bigboard' - i.e. use in the office on a big screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The 'posts' metric. It is difficult to understand and has little value - I'd rather know how many posts have gone on the site that day so far - i.e. number of stories online on a given day in real time and also historical date for the day before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the real-time nature of Parsely and it's ability to provide stats on a variety of sites, as well as the source of the traffic, such as on mobile or desktop screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some sites that are not included in Parsely's data sourcing, such as Smart News, which is critical to my team's traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
