When data is the name of the game, privacy is everything; enter, Matomo!

- Keeping data private. - Not letting other analytics' companies follow the consumer around. - Letting people know that their data will never be sold to a 3rd party and that their data is theirs

PROS

The very fact that analytics can be ethical was the very thing that attracted me towards Matomo. Users coming to your site and trusting you to keep the transaction between yourselves shouldn't be worried about a third party collecting more data on you. The fact that Matomo respects peoples' privacy and wilfully doesn't track someone if they don't want to be tracked, that..., that it what makes them the best. Any data that is collected about a person's behaviour on our website never leaves our server, is not sold to a 3rd party and becomes no one else's business. This is why I personally love Matomo - to be able to host it on your own server, keep all that data from BIG BROTHER and make sure the customer is treated as a customer and not a product!

CONS

There are no dislikes and I'm not even sucking up. In the past, I've had to deal with a lot of products not working the way they were intended to work, breaking down in the middle of something, not providing accurate information. After using Matomo for over 3 years, there simply is nothing to dislike about it. Any dislike that arises would be purely because of bad hosting or bad configuration.

Reason for choosing Matomo

Privacy. The one and only reason. Plus, I did not have transparent data when I needed it most.

Awesome Open Source and Privacy-Conscious Alternative to Google Analytics

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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!

Reason for choosing Matomo

I chose Matomo because it does everything I need, it's open source, self-hosted, whitelabeled, and cost-effective.

Reasons for switching to Matomo

With Matomo, you don't really need Google Analytics for basic website tracking purposes. Matomo is a platform that gives you the option to respect users' privacy. I prefer not to send all of my clients' data to a third-party company that is doing who knows what with it.

A comprehensive and customizable self hosted web analytics platform

Matomo is a comprehensive and customizable web analytics platform that offers a wide range of tools and features for tracking and analyzing website traffic. One of the benefits of Matomo is that it can be self-hosted, which gives us more control over their data and how it is collected and stored. However, the interface feels cluttered and a bit overwhelming, with a large number of options and settings to navigate. This can make it more difficult for users who are new to web analytics or who prefer a more streamlined interface. Despite this, Matomo's advanced features and ability to be customized to specific needs make it a powerful tool for those who are willing to invest the time to learn it.

PROS

Matomo is a feature-rich web analytics platform that provides a wide range of tools and features for tracking and analyzing website traffic. It offers a high level of customization. Matomo is an open-source platform, which means that it is freely available and can be self hosted and modified/extended.

CONS

Matomo may have a steeper learning curve than some other web analytics platforms. The interface feels cluttered and a bit overwhelming, with a large number of options and settings to navigate.

Excellent cost-benefit ratio

PROS

We've been using it since 2019 and it's a replacement for our Google Search Appliance (GSA). Matomo behaved as a quality alternative for content search on our intranet and has met our expectations with an excellent cost-benefit ratio and ease of use. We have no hesitation in recommending it to other users.

CONS

If a page had very little access, it is difficult to find its data in the reports, as it only displays the most accessed.

Reason for choosing Matomo

Excellent cost-benefit ratio and very similar reports.

Reasons for switching to Matomo

GSA was discontinued.
