Piwik is an open source web analytics system written by a team of international developers, and runs on a PHP/MySQL webserver. Piwik is used by over 250,000 websites and is translated in more than 45 languages.
Piwik features a modern user interface, APIs to access all data (and also manage users, websites, scheduled reports, Goals, etc), Real time reports, a Plugins architecture, extended Privacy features, Mobile App (iOs and Android), and more than 50 other features [1]. Piwik is released under the GNU/GPL, and is new versions are regularly released every few weeks [2].
One of the differences between self hosted Piwik and Software as a service (such as Google Analytics) is that with Piwik, all visitor interaction data stays under control and ownership of the webmaster or company. In Germany, 13% of .de websites use Piwik because it offers more privacy features and keep control over the Analytics data (Anonymize IPs, Purge logs, Opt-out feature, etc.). [3].
