I like how I can easily track visitors on my site without sacrificing performance. And on top of that - the data comes from google itself. I highly recommend it for any site owners. Pros I can see the querries, country, pages, devices and a lot of information without sacrificing performance which degrades while using other analytic software - and this is the best thing for me about google search console. Other than that I also like the fact that I can also track pages, add sitemaps for indexing which makes the process faster and monitor site speed automatically. Cons There is not much to dislike about Google search console but I wish there were additional detailed information too. For instance, when a person visits our site and then goes back to google - google knows its a bounce but they don't show it on the console. Switched from [Google Analytics 360](https://www.capterra.com/p/177042/Google-Analytics/) Google Analytics makes websites very slow. We can improve its performance but we have to do a lot of things for that. It's just easy to use search console and I don't require a lot of tracking that comes with Google Analytics.
