Full-featured analytics platform, self-hosted, positioned as a GA alternative.
Why we recommend it
Where Umami is deliberately minimal, Matomo aims to match Google Analytics feature-for-feature while keeping the data on your own infrastructure.
Strengths
- Feature depth comparable to Google Analytics
- Complete data ownership when self-hosted
- Heatmaps and session recording available
Drawbacks
- Heavier to host and maintain than lighter alternatives
- Some features are paid plugins even when self-hosted
- Interface is dense
