Possibility to host an instance of piwik on a server which we control, enables us to gather analytics while respecting people's privacy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to implement and to use. I use it every week to check effects of our marketing efforts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Maybe it's a little outdated look, but on the other way it's very useful, so there's nothing to dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
really current campaign data - the same day / part real-time conversion etc.
dashboards system - simply widgets
simple instalation using GTM
session log - great for debugging
user flow board

there is not pageValue like in Universal anayltics was
I have to laern something else than GA4 I was used to :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mainly Piwik Pro Core is easy to handle. You get a quick overview on the most important stats. I used Google Analytics for over 10 years and I feel comfortable with Piwik. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Integrations and goals are not so easy to handle for me as a writer with low programming know-how. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Ease of setting it up
2. Ease of use and available reports
3. Customization options
4. Support and documentation
I'm sure Piwik Pro will become even better since their team is constantly rolling out new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't anything that bothers me about Piwik Pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Super easy to use, fast loading. Straight to the point. Reminds me of the early versions of GA. F Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Better cohort visualisation and better integrations with media channels such as LinkedIn, Meta, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The tool's ability to extract precise data on user behavior from our website, know the time spent on each page, and especially the sequences of clicks allowing the interface to be reviewed to facilitate the site's usage. And especially the statistics provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some interfaces, like the visitor section, which is sometimes a bit messy for my taste, but by using it repeatedly, one understands the interest of all the information found there. Perhaps explaining the statistics better would be a solution? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is very similar to Google Universal Analytics in terms of dashboards and data model. That makes for a quick transition.
It has cool features like Abandoned Cart and anonymous tracking and also app tracking.
It is very GDPR compliance focused. If you have a simple business to track, go for it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Its tag manager is still far from GTM, so I did the entire setup of PiwikPro Analytics using GTM.
- Google Analytics 4 allows to choose default attribution model, while PiwikPro does not. You are stuck with Last Click Attribution which can mess your metrics vs Last non direct click or data-driven in Google Analytics 4.
- Limited Ecommerce tracking (no product and promo impressions, checkout, payment, remove from cart, wishlist,...) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use, simple but clear screens. The all in one package with tag manager, consent management and analytics with a much better privacy friendly design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are still some things not possible like a few missing tags/triggers. But also the 'secondary dimension' is not working as fine as I would expect yet. Also I would like a more progressive pricing plan with more smaller steps, so you can ease in more easily into Piwik Pro. Also It would be nice to do upgrades on site level instead of account level. So site A can stay on the core plan and a other can go onto a paid plan within the same account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Piwik PRO is great for data privacy-orientated website tracking strategies. The consent manager might be my favorite tool within Piwik PRO because it is so easy to create, very straightforward to integrate into tags and requires no development support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are very few downsides when using Piwik PRO. One that is worth mentioning is the price of an enterprise account. Moving from a core account at a 500'000 action limit to a 2M action limit is quite the costly jump. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
