Know which version you’re choosing

Selection updates setup effort, budget, edition caveats, and documented funnel support. Other product details stay the same.

Resolve these before a trial

Documentation is a starting point, not proof of fit in your setup.

THE SHORT VERSION

Teams that want a broad analytics platform with infrastructure choice.

Some capabilities are paid plugins. Self-hosted software still needs updates, backups, and administration.

Managed hosting reduces infrastructure work; event setup and data quality are still your responsibility.

Tracking installation. On-Premise requires hosting, a database, and an administrator.

YOUR OWN CHECK, NOT OUR TEST RESULTS

A generic checklist to run yourself. Use a small, reversible trial and non-sensitive sample data.

Define one task and write down what a useful result would look like.
Confirm the selected edition, total cost, setup owner, and required connections in the official documentation.
Run the same task in your current setup and the candidate. Record missing steps, manual work, and errors.
Check how you would export or remove your trial data and return to your current setup.
Keep, test further, or stop. Do not migrate until your must-have requirements are confirmed.

Data is processed in Matomo Cloud or your On-Premise installation.
