G2Recensioni Matomo (Formerly Piwik) 2026: Dettagli, Prezzi e Funzionalità / G2Grounded web searchIl più grande svantaggio per noi è stata la struttura dei prezzi della versione cloud. Sembra piuttosto costosa rispetto ad altre opzioni, specialmente quando si è una piccola impresa. Un'altra grande frustrazione è che nel pacchetto specifico che stiamo utilizzando si possono aggiungere solo 3 siti web. Questo limite sembra molto restrittivo e sarebbe molto meglio se ci fosse più flessibilità per aggiungere qualche sito in più senza dover passare a una fascia di prezzo molto più alta. Recension

It includes many of the advanced features you'd expect in an analytics platform. The best part is that you're in control of your data and privacy.
