What's the difference between reporting and analytics? I think I know but I'm not sure it matches what you mean.[1] [1] I assume that reporting is for detecting trends, capacity planning, etc and analytics is for diagnosing issues.

Nothing really I suppose. Maybe reporting is periodic and analysis is ad-hoc?

After thinking about it and read what the various tools do, I decided that reporting is for ops purposes (capacity planning , etc) and analytics is for product purposes (engagement, downloads, signups, etc).
