Akamai, the leading CDN vendor, just announced the introduction of the Akamai Download Analytics. Getting useful data on files served over CDN’s has long been a pain-point for CDN users. Akamai Download Analytics hopes to address this by providing the following types of analytics:
- User engagement data such as download duration and completion rate.
- User analysis by geography, network and connection speed
- User behavior data, such as start, stop, pause, and cancel
- Usage metrics, such as bytes delivered and bytes per download
- Custom reporting, such as the ability to define data sets, reporting dimensions, and metrics.
