Hello Everyone!
Have anyone heard about the Matomo? If not, please share your questions here. I’m willing to answer all your questions and clarify you as soon as possible.
Stay tuned!
#Dilan Yes, I heard about the Matomo tool. this is the open analytics platform like Google analytic. and earlier it’s called “Piwik”.
Still, I’m using the google analytics for the analysis of the website traffic.
Almost, both tools are having the same features. according to my both tools comparison, I couldn’t see the filter options on the Matomo tool. but GA has the filter option.
If Matomo has this option, please explain here how to filter the spam clicks through Matomo.
Actually Thusha, Matamo doesn’t have the filter option like GA. Because The Matomo is using javascript tracker so this is automatically only recording the “Real” human activities and avoiding all bot activities. Therefore, you can get the more accurate report. In GA you have the filter options to filter the real and spam traffics. Check the following link and get more info.
Not only this benefit, but there are also more features in this Matomo when we comparing the other analytics tools. For an example, the plugins, tracking ways, Goal settings and the main advantage is “control”, yes we can control it from our self, unlike the remote analytics softwares.
Hello Dilan,
In my past experienced I used to analyze the traffic through GA. Still, I’m using it. it has a lot of features and option to get the metrics. From here, we have four ways to tracking the goals:
Is the Matomo having the same kind of Goals setting? or anything new? How Can I define and track Goal conversions? If you can explain it briefly, it will really helpful for my projects.
Nearly both tools having the same features on the goal settings. But we can add the unlimited number of goals to track in Matomo tool. Example, E-commerce tracking, newsletter subscriptions, product, contact us, conversation tracking and etc…comparing the goal tracking process with GA, Matomo is easy to set our Goals. Meantime, They are providing the special reporting for the E-commerce shops. Yes, If you use the most popular eCommerce platform such as Magento, Zen Cart, OSCommerce and etc. The Matomo provided the eCommerce analytics features for these sites users. Already the team created the plugins for these platforms. Therefore, easily you can install and it’s automatically tracking your pages. So the eCommerce websites/owners have this special feature when they use the Matomo tool.
Hi @Dilan
Which analytics tool is the best Google Analytics or Matomo?
I suggest the website best analytics tool is google analytics because of more than most people using this tool and I read some blogs. because some features are missing in matomo tool. do you have any idea?
I can’t say which one is the best one. Because every tool has the features & benefits based on their customer’s demands and the current trending methods. Comparing the Google Analytics and Matomo you can see only 5% discrepancies. Can you please list out the missing features that you have identified from Matomo tool?
