Matomo values privacy protection, 100% data ownership and no data sampling. It has two different hosting options – cloud and on-premise. Cloud takes the hassle out of installation, whereas On-Premise is the free, open-source and self-hosted PHP/MySQL software you can install on your own server, which gives you maximum flexibility. This premium web analytics and conversion optimisation tool is designed to give you the most conclusive insights with a complete range of features such as heatmaps, sessions recordings, goals, form analytics, visitor profiles, ecommerce and funnels.		About Digital advertisers lose billions every year to invalid traffic, and most do not know it is happening. Fake clicks, bots and click farms are only part of it. The bigger drain is non-incremental traffic: excessive clickers with no intent to convert, and navigational traffic that would have found your brand anyway. All of it inflates cost and corrupts the data your optimisation depends on. TrafficGuard sits inside the advertising journey and verifies traffic in real time, before it reaches your campaigns. Our approach is surgical, not blunt force. Statistical invalidation removes the invalid and protects the genuine, with full transparency into exactly what was actioned and why. The result is cleaner signals, more accurate reporting, and ad spend that reaches real, high-intent users. One platform protects every channel that matters: - Search (Google Search & Performance Max) - Meta (Instagram & Facebook) - Affiliate - Mobile Start with a free 30-day audit in detection mode and see exactly how much invalid traffic is hitting your campaigns. Switch on prevention when you are ready. Backed by expert onboarding and responsive support, TrafficGuard is built to scale with your spend. Trusted by 10,000+ advertisers across multiple industries TrafficGuard is part of Adveritas, publicly listed and accountable on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:AV1).

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros We have been using Matomo for about a year (we are a web design company), and we keep adding it to the sites we host for our customers. They are very happy with it, particularly as it is far more friendly for occasional users to understand than Google Analytics. The API is good as well. We develop our own website CMS (Zenario) and have integrated Matomo into it; we've managed to create an experience where analytics appear to administrators while in their site, with a link to the Matomo system for further analysis. It gives insightful user analytics. Very easy to implement and the dashboard provides various graphical analytics. The best alternative of Google Analytics platform. A best open-source analytics platform. Cons Nitpick... the user management system (resetting password etc.) is a little odd and occasionally when creating a user it seems a bit flaky. But really, not much I don't like! Overall it's an outstanding open-source analytics platform.		Pros from Real Users Pros Ease of use and efficiency, charts and filters in place, the most interesting part for us is the click report. The pricing model seems very fair, 2% of Ad spend and when the system saves me 10% of Ad spend from wasted clicks it's a no-brainer. It recognises and blocks fraudulent PPC clicks to save me money on my Google PPC campaigns. Highly recommend. It has easy to access dashboard and a live tracking ability to track immediately. It is fast and reliable. Great free intro to invalid click reporting. Brilliant for small to medium sized businesses. Great customer support and technical help. A lot cheaper than others on the market with great features too. Easy to so setup and clear UX. They're members of IAB and this means something in the advertising field. Most of the services are free Affordable PPC fraud IP prevention Overall Preferred Tool Effective & Efficient It is best for those who are running Google ads and facing invalid clicks by competitors, it stops fake clicks and does not allow fake clicks to ruin your budget. the most important thing is that it works and is effective, although my budget is not that impressive yet. Can see where fake clicks are coming from and which location and the total amount of PPC budget you are using on these.
