We are refactoring the current implementation with the goal to improve the performance, the scalability, and the uptime. One way to know if we are on the right track is to benchmark it and see the actual progress with each change or added new technology.,Nice way of seeing the data: visitors and traffic. Also, the user interface is somewhat customizable.
Support for multiple sites, displayed in useful dashboards.
Access to the raw data since you have the database local.
Open source - especially useful when you have no budget for software purchasing.
I find the real-time map feature very useful when we load the system n times more to stretch its limits.,Installation can be a small pain, especially if install permissions are controlled by IT on development environments also.
When large sets of data need to be displayed, it can be a little slow. It looks like the database design and the queries used have room for optimization.
Since it needs to be "present" in all the pages of the web application, if something goes wrong with Matomo, it can break your app. They call it the JavaScript Tracking Tag that needs to be there on all pages.,8,We can see the analytics of our web applications and thus having the insight of the systems' behavior.
It helps in improving the performance and scalability of our web application.
It helps us improve the user experience on our sites; seeing the user's activity we can take decisions to make it better.
A cost-effective tool, since it is free.,Google AnalyticsCristian BodnarasecMatomo (formerly Piwik) review2018-04-03T17:54:14.432ZWe use the tool to track the daily users who visit our website and look at the visitor log to see what pages people are visiting and for how long.,Easy to track daily traffic
Easy to monitor visitor traffic
Can set up website goals and tie them to marketing campaigns,When looking through visitor log it only allows you to go back one day
Cannot see how long the visitor spent on each page, only the total length of their visit
Need to add real time visitors on your page to show if there are any active visitors on your page at the current moment, similar to Google Analytics,8,Ease of see who visits your page - Gives total number of users who visited your page in an easy to read chart.
Ease of seeing how many people visit your page - Allows you to look at total visitors versus new visitors in a very readable chart. It makes it easy to demonstrate/display how well your website is visited.
Ease of seeing the time you have the most traffic - Lays out in a readable chart the time when you have highest traffic.,N/AVerified UserPiwik let's you own your data!2017-07-21T19:52:46.663ZWe used it in a couple of places where Google Analytics was limited in ways we could measure how people were using our website. It also provided a better depth of information and we also appreciated owning our data to use as we pleased.,Access to the raw data, and allowing us the ability to customize as needed.
Painless install, for the most part. It was nice to be able to customize the interface.
I really love the mobile app, which make it easy to get insights on the go.
A perfect replacement for Google Analytics for us when we needed to know we were in control of the data.,I feel the upgrade process could be smoother.
Sometimes the speed in the backend is a bit slow.
I'd like to see the realtime get more detailed, and the design to be rethought, maybe with more real-time summaries.,9,It's hard to quantify exact ROI Piwik has provided us, but I can say I could not have the insights we have without it.,Google Analytics,WordPress, Concrete5, Vanilla ForumsVerified UserPiwik Analytics for those who know2014-05-02T23:20:17.225ZWe use Piwik as an alternative to Google Analytics for our clients who want to track their web site statistics and would rather not have their data hosted by Google. In addition, we use it to track our own website's data.,Multiple sites can be easily configured and tracked in one central dashboard.
There is more than one way to track the site visits - javascript is not necessary (but is of course the easiest way to track)
With the new version 2.0, various reports can be 'widgetized' and embedded in other web pages that are not necessarily part of the main Piwik domain (i.e. you can embed live reports in a client's intranet),Initial setup is simple, but you'll need to know something about your server environment.
Importing raw data from server logs is not trivial, and takes a bit of work to get right.,9,As with any analytics program, Piwik has enabled us to look at where the traffic is going and how to optimize for that traffic. In particular, the nightly email reports keep the design and account staff engaged with the sites and give them a 'big picture' view.,,10,9Erik RühlingOwn Your Data, Know Your Users and Protect Their Privacy with Piwik2014-05-05T23:46:10.590ZPiwik allows us to have control over our own data instead of using a third party service to handle it for us. With it, we can access the raw analytics data if we want or write new modules to present the data in a new way. Piwik truly gives you full control and it's easy to implement.,You own your data.
