Download Concerity Analytics Free 1.0 Beta from Fileforum now.Web developers have access to all sorts of information about the visitors to their sites: IP address, operating system, browser type, and so forth. With solutions like Omniture’s SiteCatalyst, for example, developers have access to an even greater depth of information about visitor behavior that they can use to improve their product.
For desktop software developers, however, these kind of analytics are not as readily available, and are frequently limited to crash reports for the purpose of fixing bugs.Last month, Utah-based software company Concerity launched its own Analytics Platform, directed toward software developers. The toolkit provides software vendors with a more granular look at how their software is being used by embedding an analytics runtime into it. The end user can opt in to anonymously share his information with the developer, and then the developer can see how the software is being used, what type of machines it’s being used on, see which features are the highest priority, and so forth.
Today Betanews proudly announces that our Fileforum is the exclusive host of Concerity Analytics Free, the freeware version targeted at independent software vendors. The beta of version 1.0 is available now.Implementing the tracker in your software only takes a couple of lines of code, and then information coming from users is sent to the cloud-based Concerity Analytics Results Dashboard, where the data are available as graphs, charts, and tag clouds.
What can users of the free version expect to track in their software? Concerity Analytics Free grabs a profile of the user which includes his CPU, graphics processor, RAM, storage, operating system, and screen resolution, where he is geographically located, when the application is used, and whether it was closed nicely by the user or it crashed.
