The new slide menu is AWFUL! Is there any way to use the old flyout menu instead?

The new sliding menu is TERRIBLE! Now for getting to some reports I have to click through four or five menus instead of just mousing over and accessing it directly!

Is there any way of just using the old menu UI??

Agreed. After a few weeks it's still unbearable, and to further other points and quote Pirates of The Caribbean reports "cannot be found except by those who already know where it is."

Massive misstep, bring back the old menu structure and add in the search function (although I think it was already there).

Bad form Adobe. Bad form.

Agreed - it's unusable as is - can't find anything unless you know exactly what submenu it's in. Please switch back or make that an option.

Hard to believe the UX could get much worse in Analytics, but wow, those new nav menus are miserable.

Hi everyone!

Thanks for commenting on this; the feedback really is much appreciated. We really do understand these concerns, and we want to make it easier for you and your users to get to the data you need. While it may not seem like it, the changes we made to the left nav yesterday are the first step in a move toward a navigation paradigm that we believe you will love. Again, the goal is to provide your users with the data you know they need as quickly as possible, and to allow you to move through your analysis as quickly as your mind can ask questions :)

(One other minor note: What this new navigation will do in the short-term future is allow you to move seamless between solutions in the Adobe Marketing Cloud. So if you are doing some analysis and then you want to switch to Adobe Target to set up an A/B test, you can do that without jumping up to the top level of the Marketing Cloud. The other solutions in the Marketing Cloud will be adopting a similar nav soon.)

Please continue to share feedback and ideas, and we'll continue to monitor these forums.

Thanks,
Ben Gaines
Sr. Product Manager, Adobe Analytics

And - PLEASE return the Account name to the top of the page! It is very annoying to keep opening the Accounts menu just to check what RSID i'm working with. Especially when i am comparing the same reports for different RSIDs in multiple windows.

Is anyone also unable to see the # and chat link to ClientCare that used to be in the global footer? I see how I'm able to contact "Customer Care" in the header like before but how can I get a hold of ClientCare?

I'm getting feedback from many power users within my company that they are getting frustrated with the new navigation. I do not think that adding the variable numbers of the report names will be helpful because several of these users do not understand the variable map (nor should they frankly).

I'm all for change, but it should not take users several minutes to find reports.

Just wanted to add a few items for future consideration:

Menu height – the latest release made the menu much taller, not everyone has a big retina display and not everyone likes scrolling
Menu width – long report names are cut (Long Report Na...) Word-wrapping helped much in the previous version

After using the new menu for a few weeks, I have to agree that it's awful and a big step backwards.

It's hard to get used to, less intuitive and takes much longer to do simple navigation.
