Considered Both Products
Matomo Analytics
Chose Matomo Analytics
Matomo Analytics offers the best of both worlds: detailed website analytics and the ability to be privacy-minded and compliant with data privacy regulations, up to and including GDPR. This allows for effective risk management, while also making compliance easy. And it doesn't …
Chose Matomo Analytics
Matomo allows complete control over your data. The setup is super easy, and deploying Matomo on multiple websites is a piece of a cake.
Chose Matomo Analytics
I've described this above but Matomo compares very, very favourably with GA. This is personal opinion of course but the look and feel alone are much improved.
Chose Matomo Analytics
Matomo's analytics tools have functions like the free Google Analytics. It is easy to learn and has a good implementation guide. So, it is good for learning web analytics.
Chose Matomo Analytics
The main and the most important advantage of Matomo to its competitors is cost. Solutions like Adobe Analytics might have more options for analysts but in the end, you need to pay extra which is not necessary for all the businesses. I would recommend Matomo to all the users …
Chose Matomo Analytics
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 …
Chose Matomo Analytics
To be honest, I did not notice much of a difference between Piwik and Google Analytics, but I only provisioned the installation and added the users. Another team was processing the data from Piwik.
Chose Matomo Analytics
I have used a number of analytics products, including Google Analytics, Clicky and GoSquared. The winning feature of Piwik is the compact, rich data tables, which make it a good addition to the analytics mix. While I'm not throwing out the others, I've continued to find Piwik …
Chose Matomo Analytics
When we were initially evaluating the replacement for our AWStats setup the first alternative we looked at was Google Analytics. The main reason we started with the Google product was because, well, it's Google, plus I had used the Google Webmaster Tools kit at several other …
Chose Matomo Analytics
Moz is not directly a competitor, but it lacked (and still lacks) Piwik integration. Compared with Google Analytics the most important advantage has been the different approach to Privacy, GA has long been not compatible with German law and data is not in your own hands. Second …
Chose Matomo Analytics
At the time we did try Google Analytics and Urchin, however, due to our need for the upmost privacy using a product hosted on Google was difficult to sell. If you are looking for something that you can maintain separately without giving your data to Google with most of the same …
Chose Matomo Analytics
The customizable dashboard is useful so we can create different environments for employees. We have some data stewards who need to see all the data, but others only need to see certain widgets.
Chose Matomo Analytics
We are a pretty small company and even smaller Marketing shop. We use tools from both Google and Bing but have not had the financial freedom to explore additional tools out there. I have looked at Moz and would really like to evaluate that one at some point. For real hard-core …
Chose Matomo Analytics
I've used both Piwik and Google Analytic. I still prefer Piwik for it's more user friendly interface compared to Google Analytic. For most users, Piwik would be sufficient to provide the statistics required for planning. Google Analytics has more functions that complicates …
Chose Matomo Analytics
Open Source, easier implementation.
Chose Matomo Analytics
I have used NewRelic in the past. Currently using Adobe Analytics.
Overall, Piwik provides big volume of advanced data (just like its bigger competitors). Being easy to setup and maintain, as well as being free, is a huge plus. I liked the idea that I could access analytics data …
Chose Matomo Analytics
I have used Google Analytics, Site Catalyst, and Awstats as well as Piwik. There are some features that Google Analytics and Site Catalyst have that aren't available currently in Piwik, but most of those I don't currently need. Owning my data is more important to me than bells …
Chose Matomo Analytics
I have used Google Analytics in the past and still do for our clients who wish to use it, although I am not absolutely familiar with its features. AWStats & Urchin of course analyze the raw server logs, but are not as feature rich or configurable as Piwik.
Chose Matomo Analytics
Most services do not give us the fine control over our own data. They have access to information they are choosing not to share with us, notably IP addresses. Even if it's anonymized (last digits dropped), we should have the access to this data!
Chose Matomo Analytics
It is much more robust out of the box, easier to set up and more intuitive to use. The reports are set up already and it requires little to no setup after installation to start gathering insights.
Piano Analytics
Chose Piano Analytics
Amplitude Analytics, Google Analytics, and Mixpanel [are] tools I use[d] at the company I worked for [before].
Chose Piano Analytics
I was not involved in [the] choosing AT Internet.
Chose Piano Analytics
[AT Internet is] much easier to understand, has many options, and is a very thorough platform in general.
Chose Piano Analytics
AT Internet is more comprehensive and provides a lot of filters in easy ways, especially for websites that has various subdomains and pages used for different purposes. Also, the trend analysis and the ability to create reports and design them the way we want is very, very …
Chose Piano Analytics
I use AT Internet and Google Analytics together so I didn't have to choose between the two tools. In fact, it's a choice that is made at the group level.
We have historically used both tools for different needs. AT Internet was chosen in particular for its respect for privacy …
Chose Piano Analytics
AT Internet is much more flexible than other solutions we used. The reliability of their platform and the quality of the data is better.
Chose Piano Analytics
I have not tested any other product of this type, AT Internet was chosen by the company because it excels in its field and seems to be among the best in its class
Chose Piano Analytics
To be very honest, it was a decision made before I joined the company. I think that if I had the choice, I would prefer to use Google Analytics from a media perspective. However, it is also a question of budget as Google Analytics Premium is more expensive.
Chose Piano Analytics
We prefer AT because it's a european company, transparent about GDPR concerns, with great customer support.
Chose Piano Analytics
More complete and detailed. And we are used to it, so moving won't make any sense. You don't change a team that is winning.
Chose Piano Analytics
According to Gartner, AT Internet is one of the best web analytics solutions on the market. Adding to this, we wanted to make sure that we get a secure solution in terms of legal issues. Furthermore, when considering the pricing of AT Internet, this solution is quite …
Chose Piano Analytics
For our department we prefer to use AT Internet because we have been trained and we know the tool well. However when we create new ephemeral mini sites (which is quite rare) we may have to use Google Analytics because the solution seems simpler and faster to integrate for our …
Chose Piano Analytics
AT Internet has many advantages over both such as fully processed real-time data availability (vs. comScore/ Adobe), video and audio analytics (vs. Google) and enhanced support.
Chose Piano Analytics
I think it's everything that I wrote in previous answers combined together.
Chose Piano Analytics
AT Internet is as easy to use as GA, if not more. AT Internet has a much higher respect for user data privacy than Google does and won't use it for advertising. Data stays in Europe which, given how the US has little respect for user privacy and given how unpredictable their …
Chose Piano Analytics
The brands we work with use exclusively Mediametrie Net Rating to check the audience of the publisher's websites. Knowing AT Internet is a partner is very important for us and shows the quality of AT Internet product.
Google Analytics, even if it's used by a lot of publishers, …
Chose Piano Analytics
Actually, AT internet did not stack up against other solutions. AT Internet is very expensive comparing other solutions. There are many open-sources and free tools in the market like Matomo. So we stopped to use AT Internet.
Chose Piano Analytics
AT Internet is more comprehensive than Google Analytics. It allows you to make personalized requests, to access the API easily with high quotas. Other tools accompany the analytics solution and are included in the license. Data are also stored and processed in European Union …
Chose Piano Analytics
This was not our choice but the customer's.
Chose Piano Analytics
Easier and quicker to use than Comscore.

Matomo is a full-fledged website tracking and analytics tool. It offers everything and then a bit more that GA has to offer. I cannot conceive of any situation where this programme would be "less appropriate". You can use it for each and every website and do well with it. The data it provides includes everything you could wish for (country, IP, new user or not, actions taken, goals achieved etc.)

When it comes to web analytics AT Internet is well suited. We introduced AT Internet in 2017 after an evaluation project with other professional analytics solutions. Starting with our corporate website we quickly rolled it out to our customer experience platform, our webshops, and our corporate intranet based on SharePoint 2013. Especially the use in our intranet brought significant improvements over the standard analytics features SP 2013 is offering. The ATI tag systems with their flexibility allow us to include company-specific properties and thus making it possible for us to analyze our intranet usage on segments such as locations, branches, and so on.

Pros
  • Default Admin dashboard provides a ton of very useful information that is easily maneuvered around with "click-n-drag" to meet your preferences
  • Provides some very valuable granular insights by default without needing to do additional customizations
  • Breaks down insights into categories, then sub-categories which allow you to really drill down
  • Compiles and presents the data in a nice, visually friendly way

  • It assists with following the conduct of clients when we make item developments.
  • AT Internet is utilized to break down the conduct of workers on another web and Android application project.
  • It is an investigation device, that empowers us to see client ventures, screen advanced KPIs, and once again use the information for promoting purposes.

Cons
  • Their support is extremely bad with slow replies
  • Their interface and UI looks like something from 2010
  • It is only 20% of the web page that is usable and there is zero to no help as to how you use their platform
  • The website has lots of bugs that leads to that you often not get accurate analytics
Read full review
  • Not so easy to make difference between users who are inside the company and those who come from other entities.
  • Some concept such as "taux de rebond" are not so easily explained.
  • Not so easy to rename the name of the pages consulted. For instance, if I have tagged a page as "Landing Page" but afterward I feel the name as misleading, I must ask my IT to change the name (ie "Home Page") but can't do it myself.

Piwik makes it easy to see which social networks are most effective for you, and the mobile data is great too. Add to this the depth of data and excellent reporting, and you have several reasons to give Piwik a try

I gave this rating because I think that AT Internet is a good tool, user-friendly easy for onboarding and simple dashboards, however the majority of people use Google Analytics, especially media agency, it is easier for them to use Google Analytics.

Usability
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)

Overall the experience is very good, it's quick, relaiable and does everything I would want. The only problems I have are matching the correct stats to what I want. It can be painful trying to find the right thing and the explanations are not always the clearest. That's the only issue i've found though.

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.

AT Internet suited our business needs at the best value. Adobe Analytics wasn't user friendly for non-technical employees, Google Analytics (free and premium) provided significant limitations in reporting and customization, and IBM Digital Analytics had limitations on the amount of API calls and dashboard reports you can create. Webtrends was very interesting, but we felt it was a lot of design without the same amount of value. None of these tools produced real-time data that could be reported on right away, some tools had data that you could view real-time but it wasn't in reports until 30 minutes later, or the closest thing to real-time was a 30-minute delay. AT Internet had a 4-minute delay which was crucial to our business needs. AT Internet also had the best recommendations for support, without a monthly service hour requirement, and with very responsive account managers.

Return on Investment
  • The ROI in terms of user impact and usage in our beta test has proven to be excellent. In comparison to our AWstats system that was tracking stats based on the htaccess logs, Piwik gives the customer the ability to see stats on an almost realtime basis versus a day behind due to file processing.
  • Lead conversion is definitely easier with a robust system like Piwik. Trying to hunt down leads using a straight up htaccess logs polling system is much more difficult for non-technical users.
  • Customer service calls have dropped since the stats data is now stored in a MySQL backend rather than flat files. With a database driven system efficiency has improved with respect to response time from a customer perspective by well over 150%.

  • Editors are able to take far more rapid decisions. This has helped drive continuous double-digit growth in RTÉ online consumption.
  • It is enabling big data analytics projects which can benefit curation and service enhancement.
  • Key business user tools are easy to use, aiding productivity.
