Segment comparison panel overview
This article documents the Segment comparison panel in 
Adobe Analytics.
There is no equivalent panel in 
Customer Journey Analytics.
The Segment comparison panel is a tool part of Segment IQ that discovers the most statistically significant differences among an unlimited number of segments. The feature iterates through an automated analysis of all dimensions and metrics that you have access to. It automatically uncovers key characteristics of the audience segments that are driving your company’s KPIs and lets you see how much any segments overlap.
See 
Segment comparison for a demo video.
Use
To use an Attribution panel:
-
Create an Attribution panel. For information about how to create a panel, see Create a panel.

| Visualization | Description |
|---|---|
| Size and overlap | Illustrates with a Venn visualization the comparative sizes of each selected segment and how much they overlap with each other. |
| Unique visitors for 1st segment | A Summary number visualization showing the unique visitors for the first segement (in the example Single Page Visits) |
| Unique visitors for 2nd segment | A Summary number visualization showing the unique visitors for the second segement (in the example First Time Visits) |
| Top metrics agains Segments | A Freeform table showing top metrics for the selected segments. |
| Metric over time by Segment | A Line visualization showing the metrics over time for the selected segments. |
| Top dimension items against Segments | A Freeform table showing the mixed dimension items for the selected segments. |
| Dimension items by Segments | A Horizontal bar visualization showing the dimension items by segment. |
| Top segments against Segments | A Freeform table that shows the top segments against Segments. |
| Segment overlap | A Venn visualization that shows the segment overlap. |
