We use GA for our business, although I just showed our team Piwik.

Yes. I too agree.

Not only analytics. Don't use anything "Google" Products. Like (Trends, Webmaster tool, Chrome, Analytics, Drive, Gmail and etc). This are the ways to catch you.

I use Piwik on my server. I had google analytics and it felt all nice and cozy, but I'm not a big fan of handing over all that analytical data to google. I like these wp plugins, but I run a forum so they don't suit my needs.

I don't even do SEO signed into google.

I use PIWIC, but mostly I have small service companies to serve.

Have you ever considered using Parse.ly or KISSmetrics ? I've heard good reports on both of them.

+1 for Slimstats, I love it. But I guess GA is better though.

I also use slimstat and i do really like it but im not too sure how accurate it is. The bounce rate between slimstat and GA is hugely different for me. ON slimstat i have average visit time of 1 min on GA its 6 mins.

Which plugin outside of GA do you guys feel is most accurate?
