What Makes CardioLog 2007 Different
CardioLog 2007 is designed for analyzing SharePoint 2007 and other enterprise portals. Customers point out the following reasons for choosing CardioLog 2007 over other web analytic tools:
- Reporting on site content in a logical fashion
- Tracking portal-specific user activities
- Tight integration with the organization's Active Directory
- Displaying reports and recommendations through SharePoint 2007 web parts
- Built-in integration with other enterprise applications (e.g., CRM, ERP) and .NET applications
Reporting on site content in a logical fashion
For many enterprise portals, including Microsoft SharePoint 2007 sites and Microsoft CMS 2002 sites, the site hierarchy cannot be expressed through URLs. For instance, a SharePoint 2007 Collaboration Portal which's URL is http://MyPortal can contain a child team-site which's URL is http://TeamSite. This phenomenon makes it impossible to analyze logical entities of the portal according to URLs.
CardioLog 2007 has a built-in tree view of the portal structure, enabling aggregated reports on any entity in the portal. For SharePoint 2007, these entities can be - blogs, wikis, publishing sites, personal spaces, document centers, etc. The tree view can be generated automatically for the entire portal (including millions of items for large organizations) or manually - according to predefined taxonomies.
By capturing the portal structure, CardioLog 2007 provides an overall view of the entire portal, and can also help identify stale content, aiding in portal management and maintenance.
Tracking portal-specific user activities
In addition to viewing content, visitors of collaboration portals actively modify the site content. Visitor activity is tracked seamlessly by CardioLog 2007 out-of-box. Actions such as content deletion, content updates, content publishing, document viewing and form submission are all monitored by Alcero's client agent.
Tight integration with the organization's Active Directory
For most enterprise portals, visitors (i.e., company employees) are authenticated within the portal. By connecting Alcero's tracking agent and reporting interface to the organization's Active Directory, analysts can segment visitors according to Active Directory groups. In addition to Active Directory, CardioLog 2007 can be easily integrated with other external schemas (such as department, security group, etc.) describing the organizational structure, providing additional visitor segmentations.
Displaying reports and recommendations through SharePoint 2007 web parts
CardioLog 2007 reports can be easily displayed in SharePoint 2007 web parts, enhancing reporting centers and dashboards.
In addition, CardioLog 2007 offers recommendation web parts which provide portal visitors with linked resources, based on community usage patterns. Recommendations are determined according to a number of factors - such as visitor identity, page URL and search query. These factors are then compared to other visitors' behaviour, in order to provide a list of suggested resources that may interest the visitor.
Built-in integration with other enterprise applications
In addition to analyzing the enterprise portal, CardioLog 2007 offers web analysis for additional applications such as Microsoft CMS 2002 .NET applications, and more. Organizations can view reports for all of their monitored environments in a single interface, eliminating the need to implement additional web analytic solutions.
