Matomo Analytics

"The best Google Analytics alternative"

Vorteile: This is definitely the best alternative for Google Analytics. I've been using it for a long time and more frequently than mentioned Google Analytics. It's not MA or GA to be used. I use them both. They give me different type of data. I totally recommend it.

Nachteile: Database swells as more data come. This is normal, but be aware.

"Awesome Open Source and Privacy-Conscious Alternative to Google Analytics"

Kommentare: Overall, Matomo is my favorite analytics platform. It does everything that myself and my clients need. The platform has been around a long time (formerly Piwik) and has proven to be very reliable. Using the API to create custom reports is also easy and super useful.

Vorteile: Matomo is open source and self-hosted. It's easy to setup, manage, and implement tracking. It includes many of the advanced features you'd expect in an analytics platform. The best part is that you're in control of your data and privacy.

Nachteile: There are a lot of premium features that are pretty expensive. I wish some of these were open source, standard features of the software, but I guess developers have to eat!

"Reliable and powerful for analysing your visitors"

Vorteile: It´s not collecting your data and sending it to a giant corporation.

Nachteile: Not all information is transmitted by search engines, which is definetly there fault.

"The alternative for in-house / intranet analytics"

Vorteile: We chose Piwik (Matomo) to track in-house analytics and be independent to other analytics tools.

Nachteile: On the 5+ years, haven't encountered a con.
