In the fast-paced world of live-service games, data and analytics are more critical than ever. Whether it’s understanding player behavior, optimizing matchmaking, or ensuring seamless game performance, video game studios are continuously challenged to turn vast amounts of data into decision-making that empowers their games to remain fun, competitive, and engaging. This is where RallyHere steps in with a powerful and flexible turn-key analytics solution that allows developers to track, monitor, and optimize every aspect of their games.

RallyHere: Empowering Developers with Actionable Analytics

At RallyHere, we understand the unique challenges that live-service games face because we’ve spent over a decade building and supporting them. Our comprehensive suite of analytics tools is designed to give game developers the edge they need, providing a ready-to-go solution to collecting and analyzing the data necessary to make informed decisions fast. Whether you’re tracking Daily Active Users (DAU), tweaking player retention systems, monitoring match lengths, or analyzing matchmaking quality, RallyHere’s analytics tooling delivers analytics that matter.

Our platform is built with flexibility in mind. It allows developers to take advantage of our field-tested standard game events and reports and tailor the system to their specific game mechanics and KPIs, ensuring they get the most relevant and actionable data possible.

Why RallyHere’s Analytics Tooling Stands Out

1. Actionable Data

RallyHere’s analytics platform was designed from the ground up to simplify the collection of data that drives success. Our Generalized Event Tracking System (GETS) enables developers to capture a wide range of data points and stay informed about what players are doing, how much they are doing it, and the outcomes of their experiences.

Tracking Active Users with RallyHere's Turnkey Reporting

Our platform features standardized, out-of-the-box events, giving developers a solid foundation to gather actionable data immediately. Over the past decade of running live service games, we refined these out-of-the-box events to provide the data required to get above the noise and focus on what matters. And because our event system is fully integrated with the RallyHere SDK, developers can quickly and easily implement these standard events into their games.

We also know that every game is unique, and developers often need to track custom data specific to their game mechanics. RallyHere enables developers to easily define and track custom events---tracking in-game achievements, player engagement with a new feature, or special progression milestones.

2. Detailed Player Engagement Reports

Our Actionable Data is only half the story. Game developers need more than just data---they need to understand what story the data tells. RallyHere’s analytics platform provides out-of-the-box reports that allow developers to visualize key player engagement metrics.

For example, tracking your Active Player Count alone might tell you how the game is doing overall, but a much clearer picture of player behavior emerges when looking at it alongside your New Player Count, New and Active Player Retention, and different engagement metrics such as Average Matches per Day. Putting all this data together in easy-to-understand reports allows teams to swiftly understand the game’s health and identify areas of opportunity for improving player experience.

Additionally, detailed reports let you drill in on more challenging questions and areas of continuous optimization, such as matchmaking and game balance, to ensure that teams have an end-to-end view of a player’s journey through the game.

Whether looking for a bird’s eye view of the game’s health or putting matchmaking under a microscope, RallyHere provides the analytics to keep your game running smoothly.

Tracking Players by Matches Played by Day

3. Deep Matchmaking and Queue Analysis

Speaking of putting matchmaking under a microscope, having built and supported competitive multiplayer games, we know that matchmaking quality is crucial. Poor matchmaking experiences can drive both new and active players away. RallyHere goes beyond just tracking general match quality and the average time it took to make that match; our analytics tools allow you to understand the entire lifecycle of a match---starting from when players join a match queue, through players being assigned to teams, to match creation, all the way to the final match outcomes.

Analysis of Matchmaking Wait Times by Quintile

Our Matchmaking data enables teams to monitor matchmaking success rates, player wait times, and matchmaking quality based on different team compositions. Developers can rely on our out-of-the-box reporting to help fine-tune their matchmaking logic and ensure every match is engaging and competitive when using the advanced matchmaking features offered by RallyHere, such as skill and playstyle-based matchmaking and dynamic match backfilling.

4. Seamless Integration with RallyHere’s Backend Suite

RallyHere’s analytics tooling doesn’t exist in isolation. It integrates seamlessly with our other backend services, such as GameFlow, our cross-platform session management and matchmaking solution.
