Burst is no-fuss compared to G.Analytics
We were able to do Dashboard results comparisons against Google Analytics stats and Burst is as easily (if not better) read for the layman just interested in seeing how their site is doing, and is without all the setup and effort to get it installed and running. Had some odd questions about a specific site and its email alerts -- Hessel very patiently explained that we had a couple of things wrong or mistaken in the client account setup, and got us back on track once more. :)
