Mapp Intelligence, powered by Webtrekk vs. Matomo Analytics

Webtrekk is a good tool to get insights on your website and app usage. It is possible to get more information on your campaigns and engagements. If Webtrekk is in use with Mapp Engage, it is possible to manage your campaigns with one tool.
It is not possible to use Webtrekk as data lake, but Mapp is actually developing a Customer Data Platform.
Webtrekk (Mapp Intelligence) is a web analytics tool, so it has to be used as web analytics tool.

If you want to balance data-driven marketing and a privacy-minded approach to analytics, Matomo Analytics is for you. It's easy to be compliant with GDPR and other regulations while still having detailed (anonymized) analytics that help inform what content is resonating vs what content is not resonating. And of course you also get all of the rich referral, campaign, and goal conversion data to help you optimize your marketing.

• Good visualization in reports for marketing and c-level.
• Part of the big picture Mapp Suite (Engage Intelligence Aquire).
• Integrated tag management.
• No sampled data.
• It is possible to combine 90% variables and metrics.

• One of Piwik's strengths is the provision of customizable widgets for different bits of analytics data. The ability to add and remove them, change dates and more makes this a flexible way to visualize data.
• The visitor log section is also rich, providing date, keywords, actions and more in a single table, which makes it easy to identify your most effective content.
• And the visitor actions table includes both bounce rate and time on site, so you can quickly tell which pages have the most engagement.
• Data display is a strength for Piwik, as you have access to overview charts while simultaneously being able to drill deeper.

• Webtrekk (Mapp Intelligence) should invest to go real time or near real time.
• Build more APIs to use 3rd-party data in Webtrekk and use Webtrekk Data in 3rd-party tools.
• Webtrekk should build better click-path-analysis and journeys.

• From a user security standpoint it would be useful to provide users the ability to have two-factor authentication. While stats data is not necessarily sensitive in aggregate, some users may feel that certain portions need to be more secure.
• It would be nice if there was a tighter integration with the Google search/referrer API so that "keyword not defined" would be replaced more often with the actual keyword that is being used to send a visitor to a site.
• An easier branding method, maybe in the form of an API function set, that pulled branding URLs from a set of database fields would be great as well.

At this point, there is not a single conceivable reason as to why we would not renew and continue to use Piwik Analytics. Especially since it is a free program and open source. The product will only get better over time as more people look into it and donate to cause so that development can continue.

Piwik succeeds in presenting me (and my associates and my clients...) large amounts of data in a user friendly way. The interface and functionality can easily be customized. While some enhancements do need technical background (API calls by programming language from the webserver or javascript), others are easy to use (goal / event tracking)

We are talking weekly to our Partner Manager. We are Webtrekk experts, so we don't use much direct support.

The best thing about the Matomo support is that they have a forum which basically you can find the answer to almost all of your questions and most of the time you don't need to contact them regarding your questions and problems but if you need help they will answer in a reasonable time slots.

Only one hiccup when we were using a beta installation. Other than that, smooth sailing.

Webtrekk is a German company, in the U.S. company Mapp. It is fully GDPR-compliant. It is not expensive compared to Google and Adobe.

Incentivized

We have used Google Analytics before for one of our online tools and we switched to Matomo for the other web applications we have. We did that because Matomo is free but mostly since we wanted us to own the data on these sensitive apps and not share it with third parties. Since we have the data locally, we can now apply machine learning techniques to improve the systems even more.

• Get insights into your web data.
• Use the marketing automation for easy use cases (save your money by not using expensive 3rd-party tools for simple marketing automation use cases).
• 1 tool for over 20 apps and 100 websites.

• By using Piwik, we can better identify keywords used to search for the website and by targeting those keywords on search engine advertising (Google, Bing, Yahoo), it helps with conversion and also saves us money by cutting down guess work.
• By using Piwik graphs, it helps to save our employees time in creating pie charts and bar charts to present to upper management.
• Since Piwik is free to use, there is no reason not to implement it. Most likely, with your website, you will already have access to SQL and hosting package. There is minimal cost to implementing Piwik.
