Analytics & Optimisation tools measure what drives qualified pipeline and show where people get stuck. wayhatch highlights Google Analytics (GA4), PostHog and Microsoft Clarity for small and midsize B2B teams, with Dreamdata and Wingify (VWO + AB Tasty) as comparisons.

## Outcome

Agreed definitions and a short list of tested improvements.

## Highlighted picks

| Tool | Role | Why it fits | Watch for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Google Analytics (GA4)](https://wayhatch.com/tools/google-analytics/) | Acquisition and journey measurement | The baseline for campaign-to-site reporting across devices and channels. | Define events and conversions; website data alone does not solve B2B attribution. |
| [PostHog](https://wayhatch.com/tools/posthog/) | Product funnels and experiments | Connects acquisition to activation with analytics, replay, flags and experiments. | Needs engineering ownership of instrumentation and masking. |
| [Microsoft Clarity](https://wayhatch.com/tools/microsoft-clarity/) | Behavioural friction diagnosis | Session recordings and heatmaps that show where pages and forms cause trouble. | Configure masking and consent; observations are hypotheses. |

## Two more to compare

| Tool | Role | Why compare | Watch for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Dreamdata](https://wayhatch.com/tools/dreamdata/) | B2B revenue attribution | Marketing-to-revenue measurement. | Needs clean CRM records; attributed revenue is not incremental. |
| [Wingify (VWO + AB Tasty)](https://wayhatch.com/tools/wingify/) | Dedicated experimentation | A testing and personalisation programme. | Confirm current products after the merger, and enough traffic. |

Google Analytics (GA4), PostHog and Microsoft Clarity, for small and midsize B2B teams. Dreamdata and Wingify (VWO + AB Tasty) are comparisons. Editorial research selections, not test results.
