Ask HN: Best independent web analytics tools?

7 pointswidforss5 comments

I'm looking for a good web analytics tool for my website, but want to avoid the big players to take my small responsibility in balancing the market. It should be web based and non-local for convenience and the price fair for the value they add to the site. What service am I looking for?

If you really want to quit Google Analytics, WebTrekk, etc. you might want to go with the open source solution Piwik: https://piwik.org/

I haven't used it the past few years. But seems they made good progress.

I recently installed Piwik for a client, and I was very impressed with the progress they had made. I like it way more than any other analytics tools I’ve used.

piwik is awesome! and with docker it's extra easy.

I will try them out!

What are the requirements? Are you doing campaign tracking? GEO IP location important to you? Are you trying to integrate with outside analysis tools like Tableau? Transaction tracking?
