Today I finally decided to make the upgrade from Omniture 13.5 to Omniture 14, AKA Omniture Suite.  I have to say, they may have won me back.  For a while there I was getting quite annoyed with them being called the leading web analytics vendor when they were taking soooo long to add much needed web 2.0 features (not to mention statistically correct graphs).

Here are some of the wonderful things I've found in my first day in the Omniture Suite, specifically in SiteCatalyst:

• Bar graphs!  No more explaining line graphs for monthly data.
• The date range selector now shows three months instead of one.
• Twelve month calendar view.
• Drag-n-drop reportlets quickly.
• Being able to update dashboards to the Omniture Suite one at a time.
• Type and search feature for finding report suites.  For a while there I didn't realize I could type in that area and thought I had lost access to many of my report suites.
  
• My lengthy list of dashboards doesn't disappear when my mouse moves away from the list.
• I like the dashboards and bookmarks at the top, but I would rather the bookmark folders be in a drop down list similar to before.
  

Of course, there are some things that befuddle me (hopefully just due to the learning curve):

• Changing the date range resets the graph view to by day.
• The calendar is a bit slow when scrolling through months.
• The date range selector is confusing on dashboards.  I still can't figure out how to display the dashboard from a specific date like I used to be able to.  Maybe it's that whole "You may need to reformat you dashboards after updating" bug.
• No feature to update all dashboards to the Omniture Suite at once.
  
• Dashboard reportlets setup for last month still don't say what month it was.  This is annoying when you send out automated dashboards and recipients ask you what month last month is in the report.
  

After having spent the day compiling these lists while I worked, I'm beginning to wonder if they really have won me back.  There's always room for improvement.  I'll have to update my feelings over the course of the next few months with the new Omniture Suite.
