I have been searching this week for a decent GA alternative and I found one that has my attention and was wondering if anyone is using it and could maybe shed some light.

Open Web Analytics, "Mouse movement records, DOM click tracking, and multi-page click heatmaps" are three features GA doesn't have.

Then we have piwik and clicky, which of the three do you use and recommend?

I like how Piwik has evolve so much. I tried OWA and it was soooooooo buggy.
 
clicky is the best imho but it is a paid service. piwik uses server resources heavily as far as I know (maybe much better now). Stats plugins uses much resources too and make ur sites slower. Jetpack is a such an example.
 
I have used slim stat on wordpress but it lagsssss a lot

tracking mouse movements on the site and etc should only be used to test ad placements and etc, it will really slow down your site.
 
we're using http://nenadseo.com/yandex-metrica-vs-google-analytics-choose-weapons/ You can check out our impressions in that article. It is great (and free of course) service
 
I use wassup real time analytics for wordpress, and I really like it a lot, I just want to know how many visits everyday, and wich pages are visited on my web, so for me it does very well the job.
 
Setting up my Yandex Metrica now! Thanks
 
My main client runs a very high traffic site/massive network of pumper sites and he normally has clicky.
 
If you can afford a good host go with Piwik. If you want to reduce the cost, go for Clicky.
Clicky & Piwik don't have advanced reports like GA. But you can get the data and do all type of post processing.
IMHO, Clicky is better than Piwik.
 
statscounter is best.

try it once you will not go back to GA.

i am using HISTATS past 5 years and consider it better than analytics
 
As said by Sky Rocket SEO, go with Yandex Metrika. I started using it after reading his post and all I can say is it is totally awesome. GA is just shit when compared to Metrika.
 
thanks guys, about to setup yandex... wish I could use GA.. but they cant be trusted fo BH
 
Yandex metric changed interface and looks crap at this time. Which one are you guys using currently? Let's share it now. What about the trackers? Thx
