Matomo (Formerly Piwik) Reviews & Product Details

Matomo allows us to keep user tracking data to ourselves, and it gives us the controls to be privacy-first from the get go. There is absolutely no reason to use a third party to collect user or visitor data for you and deal with the headaches of privacy law compliance that entails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For maximum privacy it is best to self host Matomo, but that's not a very tall order. Matomo uses PHP and MySQL, which basically any hosting provider offers and which is easy to install on your own (virtual) servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

You have full control over collected data, no more data collection by third-party proprietary software like Google Analytics. Easy to use and setup and a great interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mobile application is less powerfull than the online dashboard and apps from other software suppliers. However, it does do it's job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good dashboard with the main overview of clicks and visitor stats. The graphics are clear and helpful, no useless functions and a smart live view tool to control the traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The installation on the website, by editing the main head-content works easily, but the website speed is less now so would be important to load the script faster to don't block and slow down the loading speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like about the tracking report by the person visits online Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The custom language are not sufficient to understand.please add more regional language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Powerful features for a range of uses, from basic web analytics, to ecommerce and product intelligence. Excellent privacy features and control. Highly configurable goal and event tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Finding out where certain features are and how to use them can take time. Configuring geolocation could be easier. And some concepts are non-obvious, eg. funnels vs user paths vs transitions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Matomo can be self-hosted, which means that our company keeps complete control over our analytics data, and that it cannot be used by 3rd parties, which is important for a simple GDPR policy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how much server resources it takes to track a web site with Matomo, but we have decided it is worth the extra cost. A small dedicated server tracks a busy web site easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We manage the hosting in our cloud network. Data never leaves the environment where the traffic was generated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plugins have an inconsistent feel to them, from an administrative perspective. We have had issues with the geolocation database plugin working in one location but not another. Managing the setup of a the (pretty cool) funnels plugin was utterly different than other plugins. Not a huge deal but it is hard to automate and requires a variable cognitive load for some plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its services are out of the world and splennded Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is great platform to showcase what you have Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Matomo is an incredible platform that is responsible for monitoring the activities of visitors, then show a pattern of how is their behavior on the platform.

I like this tool is that it is dedicated to give complete control over the data that is collected and the administration of these.

I like that it is a very easy platform to configure and install. It also provides multiple functions that allow you to offer very efficient and high quality reports unlike other similar platforms. I also like that I can have a copy of my files on my server and in the cloud, which guarantees complete security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like Matomo that the price offered by supplements that are very important for a good development on the platform are very high.

I also dislike that they have not dedicated themselves to improving the platform or offer innovative changes, new strategies and complements. It really stays the same for a couple of years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Independence and control over features and implementation for private server implementations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Piwik (although now called Matomo) gives us web site analytics that are just as good as Google Analytics, without giving away our data. We aren't keen to give away our data to a company that has no way to contact them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have to host it ourselves, although this is actually a benefit in some ways. We are able to comply with GDPR requests as a result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that it is open source, and can be installed in our region hiving data security. Also, 100% data analysis unlike others. Community updates... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't feel there are any downsides, it is doing best what it is supposed to do/meant for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Free alternative for web analytics that values privacy and offers total ownership of your data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a room of improvement for Matomo API, besides filtering per custom visitors segments is not actually possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is great tool that allows you to complete complete dominance on your work you are performing. Now you can have complete hand on your work and see the customer data input and web traffic. Thus it lets you know about the customer demand and make you better strategist about what to do so that you can more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like this application a lot. It has helped me told my flaws so I don't find anything bad in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to configure system for analyzing server logs with added support javascript on-web analytics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few things can be easier, for example ability to filter unwanted stats/Traffic from specific IPs or bots Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the Live Heat Map feature. It allows me to see the source of the traffic in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GUI could be a little better, but then I am a little OCD about things like that. I should admit that Matomo is an powerful Web Analytics Tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that we can see how many people are visiting the web site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit cryptic what some of the functions mean inside Matomo, and the name change is confusing when it used to be Piwik. I still can't spell Matomo first time and have to look it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it most because the app keeps a record of all websites that I visit when online. After this it give a well informed report analysis of the same. Another thing that I love about it is that it works very fast and also very conveniently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system becomes very slow sometimes. Especially when dealing with large volumes of data. So it’s not suitable for large data. This needs to be improved. Also the installation process is really tough. Especially for people who are not well equipped in IT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Matomo along with Google Analytics to make sure that the data that I get is accurate. Matomo’s complete set of features lets us actually view the visitor's actions from start to finish Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When used with Google Analytics, Matomo becomes a very power tool. I don't see any negatives after using this product for 2 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best part is the customizations it allows for above and beyond what Google analytics offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the user experience could be a but more polished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like best that we have our own install of Matomo on your server, so we have complete control of data, including exports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I haven't disliked anything about Matomo to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a best analytical tool that assists you in having a complete control over your data. It helps you in having your own copy or your data site instead of relying on others sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
