Piwik

[Junior Tidal]

Hi Dave,

I use Piwik quite a bit, but I haven't 100% converted to it. I still use Google Analytics, as well as a bunch of other analytics tools. 

On the plus side, Piwik stores data on your local drive rather than on Google, protecting user privacy. 
 
On the negative side, I've noticed that if I don't clean out the Piwik MySQL tables every once and awhile, it may crash. This is especially true if your server drive space is limited. 

Best,

Does anyone have any experience-testing, production use, anything in between-using Piwik as a direct replacement for Google Analytics?

The project's site is http://piwik.org/.

Thanks,

Dave
