Google Analytics sucks What do you use?

Question

Google Analytics has many flaws: - Not being able to identify what a specific user is doing and what journey they took is one of them. - The very confusing UI/UX is the other. - Lack of trust in attribution (due to lack of transparency on how the attribution happened).My question is: is anyone else facing these issues with GA? What do you use to get a better picture of your product's usage?
