Its great to see Piwik so active. I've been using it since version 0.xsomething. Its realiable, works great with my websites and I really like having an alternative to Analytics with a nice UI that I can host myself.

Cheers Piwik, keep doing what you are doing. And all the best with the new marketplace.

I love piwik, I find it way easier to use than google analytics. One thing interesting in it, nowadays: you have direct access to data in database. This is priceless to find data to feed neural networks.

One thing I liked about Piwik was their API documentation. Short and simple, and the examples are using actual data, meaning you will get a url of that API returning the live data in your database for you to inspect, right from the documentation page. Of course all of this is possible because you are self-hosting the Piwik on your server, but it is a good feature that I really liked.

Dropped Google Analytics two years ago for Piwik and don't regret it. Keep up the good work!

This is actually the first time I've heard of Piwik but it seems like a great alternative to Google Analytics/Mixpanel/etc.

Kudos to them for also finding a business model alongside the open source application. That set up usually lends itself to long running OSS as there is (hopefully) always money coming in.

Question to other Piwik users: how do you manage the ever-growing MySQL database to keep response times acceptable? Where do you host it?

My Piwik instance is nearly unusable because any non-trivial request takes ages.
