As portal deployments become more sophisticated and complex, portal administrators and community owners can use Analytics Server to effectively assess how portal applications and information are being used across the enterprise. By tracking community traffic, portlet traffic, response times and usage behavior, companies gain improved visibility for their portal development and deployment planning, and can more effectively prioritize administrative resources. As a result, Plumtree customers can increase portal ROI, reduce infrastructure costs and improve employee, customer and partner satisfaction.

Customers using Analytics Server benefit from more complete integration with the portal and easier installation at a lower price point than other Web analytic products. Traditional Web Analytics software tends to aggregate information about application server behavior from batched, historical log files. Analytics Server, in comparison, takes a different approach, using lightweight, plug-in filters at multiple tiers of the portal architecture to report information to the Analytics Server database in real-time resulting in deeper, more accurate and instant system activity information.

Plumtree Analytics Server tracks metrics for Plumtree portals running on Microsoft IIS, Apache Tomcat, BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere application servers. It is also available on Windows and Solaris, supports SQL Server and Oracle databases, and integrates with the Plumtree Corporate Portal. Product features include: metrics reporting, user behavior and performance analysis; grouping and filtering; multi-dimensional usage correlation; flexible presentation; and support for rapid deployment to multiple user audiences.
