- Silhouette 11y agoI suspect that is an easy one. Your company might care about privacy, but not be in a technical industry or expert on these kinds of issues. Google Analytics can be set up in a few minutes by anyone who could set up their own web site in the first place. Setting up Piwik means understanding this: http://piwik.org/docs/installation-maintenance/ http://piwik.org/docs/installation-maintenance/ If you run web sites for a living, the latter is no big deal. If your company is a florist and you just learned a bit of basic HTML to write your blog about flower arranging, what's a MySQL?
- heliodor 11y ago12 years of software engineering experience here. I tried setting up Piwik for my website. Instead of showing N number of visitors, it consistently shows one or two. Tried googling, read the docs, nothing! Gave up. I have no idea why it fails so spectacularly. Google Analytics will do just fine for now until better understanding my site's visitors becomes a more valuable proposition. Right now it's not worth it.
