My unprofessional professional opinion. The product looks great, but the name has to go. I can't imagine pronouncing that, let alone communicating it over a phone. Any simple word before analytics would be better.

Edit: pineapplytics is the obvious cute and available one, however may still be difficult to communicate.

Fun fact: Only the English language calls the fruit "pineapple", almost every other language calls it "ananas" or similar.

I looked it up, I get it, but this post and the site, are targeting English speaking.

Delighted that this is one of the first comments! :) The product was designed to make analytics easy. We found that the word Analytics is not easy to pronounce too. So we decided to make the word analytics easy too! But thanks for your comments, we will consider about it.
