Demand Gen Report vs Open Web Analytics
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Demand Gen Report and Open Web Analytics — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Demand Gen Report vs Open Web Analytics: at a glance
What is Demand Gen Report?
Demand Gen Report's feed is B2B marketing news and now B2BMX brand content, not a changelog.
Demand Gen Report's tracked feed publishes under the B2BMX Insights name and remains trade journalism. Recent entries cover Contentsquare's agent-tracking platform, 6sense research on vendor shortlists, an AI-visibility Q&A and the death of RB2B's co-founder, alongside earlier CMO and benchmark pieces. None describes a Demand Gen Report product.
What is Open Web Analytics?
Open Web Analytics patches 1.14 in quick succession, fixing date ranges and heatmaps.
Since 1.14.0 added acquisition dimensions and data-repair commands in September, OWA has shipped patches up to 1.14.6 (1.14.5 is missing from the feed). 1.14.1 fixed cross-site access in REST reports and the recording player, where a user granted one site could read another site's records. Later patches restore heatmaps that had been broken since 1.10.1 and 1.13.0, fix URL query filtering, and correct relative periods: 'Last seven days' had covered eight days, and periods now count calendar days so daylight-saving changes don't shift them.

Demand Gen Report
5.0MARKETING
Demand Gen Report's feed is B2B marketing news and now B2BMX brand content, not a changelog.
◆ Current state
Demand Gen Report's tracked feed publishes under the B2BMX Insights name and remains trade journalism. Recent entries cover Contentsquare's agent-tracking platform, 6sense research on vendor shortlists, an AI-visibility Q&A and the death of RB2B's co-founder, alongside earlier CMO and benchmark pieces. None describes a Demand Gen Report product.
◆ Where it's heading
No product trajectory can be read here. The one change visible in the feed is brand: the posts now appear first on B2BMX Insights, tying the publication more closely to its conference. High entry volume reflects publishing frequency rather than product momentum.
◆ Prediction
Insufficient data: the feed carries third-party industry news, so no product move can be forecast. Expect more B2BMX 2027 promotion as registration has opened.
Open Web Analytics
5.0MARKETING
Open Web Analytics patches 1.14 in quick succession, fixing date ranges and heatmaps.
◆ Current state
Since 1.14.0 added acquisition dimensions and data-repair commands in September, OWA has shipped patches up to 1.14.6 (1.14.5 is missing from the feed). 1.14.1 fixed cross-site access in REST reports and the recording player, where a user granted one site could read another site's records. Later patches restore heatmaps that had been broken since 1.10.1 and 1.13.0, fix URL query filtering, and correct relative periods: 'Last seven days' had covered eight days, and periods now count calendar days so daylight-saving changes don't shift them.
◆ Where it's heading
The modernization run toward 2.0 continues, and the patches show its cost: regressions from the 1.10 to 1.13 rewrites are being found and fixed one by one. Release notes stay candid about what broke and since when. None of the 1.14 patches needs a schema change.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 1.14.x patches for regressions from the report-URL and schema changes, then a step toward the 2.0 branch that 1.13.0 announced.
