## What the models said for it

- "Offers advanced cross-channel tracking (email, social, mobile) and is favored by enterprises" (Mistral Small, Attribution & MMM)
- "Deep segmentation and enterprise reporting; typically heavier and more complex than GA4." (Perplexity Sonar, Web analytics)

## And against it

- "Who to avoid (or pause with): Adobe Analytics, Salesforce Data Cloud, or legacy versions of Oracle." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Customer intel)
- "Skip Enterprise (Adobe, Bizible): 3-6 month setups... Too heavy/costly" (Grok 4.1 Fast, Attribution & MMM)
- "Massive cost & complexity – Year 1 can easily exceed $400K–$700K" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, Web analytics)
- "Hyper-Expensive Enterprise Suites (e.g., Adobe Analytics, Salesforce Marketing Cloud)... notorious for having an incredibly high Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Customer intel)
