Ask HN: Experience with On-Premise Web Analytics

9 points by Bootvis 7y ago

We are looking to add web/usage analytics to our internally hosted Shiny dashboards. We prefer not to use Google Analytics but use an on premise solution instead. I'm looking at Matomo which looks like a good pick but I'm interested to hear people's experiences with it or alternatives. Thanks!

I'd go with web server logfiles plus https://goaccess.io/ https://goaccess.io/ Start with the simplest thing that could possibly work and expand to other solutions only if needed.

You may want to check Countly as well (https://count.ly https://count.ly) - one speedy option is to deploy using Digital Ocean https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/countly-analytics https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/countly-analytics .. Countly is a perfect fit for both web and mobile, so in the future if you want to track your mobile apps as well, it is the go-to solution.
