Matomo 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.

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.

Really like how Matomo protects my privacy with advanced Privacy features, also there is no data limit with Matomo. Loved the In-depth Analytics. Log files are already available so it makes sense to make the most of this information. Also provides me important reports about the users and their interaction.

One thing I disliked using Matomo is that while I was reporting something the service was chargeable and not free of cost, also Matomo collects too much information. Charts and graphs are not very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is self-hosted and open-source. It is easy to install, use and upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes some paid features are promoted and are a bit annoying 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!

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 powerful than the online dashboard and apps from other software suppliers. However, it does do its job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GDPR manager included in the tool; on-premise self-hosting is possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cannot be integrated with Google marketing platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like detailed dashboard and ease of tracker functions to watch user activity closely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Little complex to follow documents in order to implement into react es6. Had to refer php based sdk to discover and implement new features. 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.
