Piwik PRO

ClickHouse-backed web & mobile analytics
Session-level web and app analytics with custom reports, funnels, user flows, multi-channel attribution, and calculated metrics. Vendor positions unsampled collection by default with optional sampling for extreme volumes, plus raw export via API, files, and BigQuery—aimed at teams that outgrew pre-aggregated MySQL-style tools.
Anonymous tracking when cookies are declined
Collect privacy-safe behavioral signals without identifiers when visitors refuse cookies or when you configure limited measurement modes. Marketing can still see channels and journeys; personal identifiers and full attribution wait for a valid lawful basis—useful under GDPR/ePrivacy friction.
Integrated Consent Manager and Tag Manager
Capture and store consent, drive tag firing from preferences, and handle visitor data requests in-product. Optional Cookie Information CMP and server-side tagging paths reduce the usual glue code between a separate CMP, GTM, and analytics.
Data Activation for real-time personalization
Segment audiences from live behavior and trigger on-site or outbound actions without exporting every event to a second CDP first. Suited to regulated marketers who want activation on first-party data they control.
Selectable cloud residency (Azure + Elastx)
Public cloud regions include Azure US, NL, DE, and HK plus Elastx Sweden; Enterprise private cloud spans 60+ Azure regions and Elastx. Business plan marketing highlights EU-operated Swedish hosting—pick region in procurement, not after go-live.
Regulated-industry packaging (GDPR tooling, HIPAA BAA path)
DPA available on Business signup; Enterprise adds private cloud, higher action volumes, SLAs, and HIPAA Business Associate Agreements for healthcare marketing analytics. Vendor also claims ISO 27001 and SOC 2—request current certificates in diligence.

Vantevo Analytics

Daily-rotating hash visitor counting (no analytics cookies)
Visitor uniqueness for a day is derived from HASH(salt + domain + IP + User-Agent) with a salt that rotates every 24 hours; IP and User-Agent are not retained after hashing, per the DPA and docs. No cookies, localStorage, or browser cache for the analytics session—and therefore no multi-day new/returning visitor split. Fits privacy-led sites that prioritize aggregate trends over identity graphs.
Single-page traffic dashboard
Unique visitors, sessions, page views, bounce rate, duration, entry/exit pages, geography, devices, languages, referrals, and UTM campaigns appear on one overview without multi-level custom report builders. Aimed at agencies and SMEs that want operational metrics without a full-time analytics specialist.
Custom events, goals, and automatic link/download tracking
Track button clicks, scrolls, form submits, custom event names with metadata, and conversion goals; outbound links and file downloads can be auto-captured with HTML attributes to exclude specific URLs. Useful for content and lead-gen sites measuring meaningful actions without cookie tags.
Ecommerce funnel events (beta script)
Optional vantevo-ecommerce.js records wishlist, view item, cart add/remove, checkout stages, payment type, coupons, variants/categories, and purchase—docs mark the ecommerce section as still in beta. Best for shops that need privacy-oriented funnel visibility and can accept beta maturity.
Universal Analytics import and multi-platform install paths
Connect Google Analytics to import page statistics from January 2018 onward into the same calendar view (with documented metric gaps and API limits). Ship via head script, WordPress plugin, React/Vue/npm packages, Shopify/Wix theme paste, hybrid apps, or server-side event APIs—plus optional Search Console connection for keyword/impression views.

Assurance & compliance: Piwik PRO vs Vantevo Analytics
Assurance & compliance	Piwik PRO	Vantevo Analytics
Independent security / no-logs audit	Partial Vendor states regular external security audits and SOC 2/ISO programs; no public third-party no-logs-style audit PDF reviewed for this draft. Request reports under NDA.	Not found No public third-party audit PDF or no-logs attestation found on security/docs pages searched.
ISO 27001	Vendor claimed Asserted on privacy-security and platform pages; certificate not independently re-verified against a public registry for this entry.	Not found No ISO 27001 certificate or registry evidence found on the public site.
SOC 2 / SOC 3	Vendor claimed Vendor claims SOC 2 (comparison content references type II) and SOC 2-certified infrastructure; obtain current report in diligence.	Not found No SOC 2/3 report referenced on public trust/legal pages.
HIPAA / BAA	Vendor claimed HIPAA-oriented offering with BAA on Enterprise path per vendor; not available on all plan tiers.	Not listed
GDPR / EU data protection	Vendor claimed EU legal entity, residency options, consent tooling, anonymization, and DPA. Compliance depends on customer configuration and purposes.	Vendor claimed Italian controller (Netforce Srl); cookie-less visitor model and EU hosting asserted on docs/GDPR pages; public DPA available. Vendor “100% GDPR compliant” wording is a claim, not independent legal certification.
US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative)	Partial No known US parent (Polish SA). Medium exposure due to Microsoft Azure as public/private cloud subprocessor and optional US region; Elastx Sweden is EU-operated alternative. Not legal advice.	Partial EU entity / no known US parent, but DPA lists AWS alongside OVH Roubaix; Stripe and optional Google APIs are US-group services. Not a clean EU-only infrastructure story. Not legal advice.
Data processing agreement (B2B)	Vendor claimed Business DPA linked from Business plan signup (piwik.pro/business-dpa/); Enterprise contracts expand terms.	Vendor claimed Public DPA at vantevo.io/dpa; Terms state DPA forms part of the main agreement (customer controller, Netforce processor).
EU AI Act	Not applicable Analytics/activation platform; not marketed as an AI system provider. Customer AI use of exported data is out of product scope.	Not applicable Web analytics SaaS; not marketed as an AI system product.

Considerations & known limitations: Piwik PRO vs Vantevo Analytics
Considerations & known limitations	Piwik PRO	Vantevo Analytics
US-group cloud (Azure) in hosting path	Medium Even with EU region selection, Azure introduces US-group infrastructure risk. Pin region, review SCCs/subprocessors, and escalate if policy forbids US cloud groups entirely.	Not listed
Closed source and no classic self-host	Medium Cannot independently audit full source or run fully air-gapped on customer iron. Private cloud still involves vendor-managed stack on Azure/Elastx.	Not listed
Certifications not independently verified here	Low ISO 27001, SOC 2, and HIPAA are vendor-claimed. Request certificates/reports and BAA text before treating them as assured.	Not listed
Paid plans only after Core sunset	Low Free Core has been discontinued; evaluation relies on trials and paid Business/Enterprise metering by actions/domains.	Not listed
Compliance depends on configuration	Medium Anonymous modes and CNIL exemption require correct setup and purpose limitation. Misconfiguration can recreate the same legal exposure teams left GA to avoid.	Not listed
AWS (and other US-group services) in data path	Not listed	Medium Despite Italian HQ and EU hosting marketing, the DPA explicitly stores data at OVH Roubaix and an AWS datacenter. Stripe payments and optional Google integrations add further US-group processors. Organizations with strict “no US cloud” policies need written clarification of regions, SCCs, and residual access risk.
No public ISO/SOC or independent audit	Not listed	Medium Shortlisting relies on vendor security measures described in the DPA (encryption, backups, breach notification windows) without published certs or third-party audit reports. Security questionnaires and NDA evidence may be required for regulated buyers.
No multi-day visitor identity by design	Not listed	Low Daily salt rotation and cookie-less design prevent classic returning-visitor and cross-device analysis. This is a privacy feature for many buyers and a hard product limit for others.
Ecommerce module still beta	Not listed	Medium Official ecommerce docs mark the section as beta/incomplete for final publication. Do not assume GA ecommerce parity or long-term event stability without a pilot.
View overage and website caps in Terms	Not listed	Low Recording can pause after plan-specific overage tolerances; Terms also set a 50-website maximum per account. Align marketing “unlimited domains” language with contract terms before large agency rollouts.
SaaS-only dependency	Not listed	Low No public self-host option. Continuity depends on Netforce operations, OVH/AWS, and export/delete workflows (JSON/CSV return or delete timelines in DPA/Terms).

Fit

Piwik PRO

Best fit when

Regulated marketing/analytics teams that want one suite for measurement, consent, tags, and activation under a Polish legal entity
Public sector and EU enterprises that need selectable EU residency (e.g. Elastx Sweden or Azure NL/DE) plus a formal B2B DPA
Healthcare digital teams evaluating HIPAA-aware analytics with a signed BAA on Enterprise
Organizations leaving GA4 primarily for residency, no vendor ad-network reuse, and anonymous pre-consent measurement options
Teams that need enterprise reporting depth (custom reports, funnels, flows, attribution) beyond lightweight privacy analytics

Poor fit when

Buyers who mandate fully self-hosted open-source analytics with no cloud hypervisor vendor
Sites that only need simple cookieless page analytics without tag management or activation
Teams that refuse any US-group infrastructure (Azure appears in public hosting options even when EU regions are chosen)
Orgs seeking a free forever analytics tier (Core plan sunset; paid Business/Enterprise only)

Consider instead when

When: You need open-source code and true on-premises control
Consider: Matomo (self-host) or Friendly Analytics / Matomo by Stackhero for managed Matomo
Piwik PRO is proprietary cloud/private-cloud only.
When: You want minimal, cookieless EU analytics without enterprise suite complexity
Consider: Plausible Analytics or Simple Analytics
Far smaller feature surface; no HIPAA/CDP-style activation packaging.
When: You need a German enterprise analytics vendor with long public-sector presence
Consider: etracker
Different product depth and packaging—compare consent tooling and activation needs.

Vantevo Analytics

Best fit when

EU/Italian teams replacing Google Analytics for marketing-site KPIs without analytics cookies
Agencies needing a simple multi-site dashboard clients can read without GA training
Shops that want privacy-oriented funnel events (cart → checkout → purchase) and accept beta maturity
Migrations that need to pull Universal Analytics page history into a privacy-first tool
Stacks using WordPress, Shopify, React/Next, Vue/Nuxt, or server-side event APIs

Poor fit when

Requirements for multi-day returning visitors, cross-device identity, or ad-platform audience sync
Mandatory self-hosting, open-source code audit, or on-prem only deployments
Procurement that requires public ISO 27001/SOC 2 evidence and independent security audits before shortlist
Heavy product analytics / cohort experimentation beyond site and ecommerce funnel events
Accounts that need more than the Terms’ 50-website cap without vendor exception

Consider instead when

When: You want a well-known lightweight EU privacy analytics tool with strong community presence
Consider: Plausible Analytics or Simple Analytics
Compare ecommerce depth, GA import, and commercial packaging side by side.
When: You need self-host or enterprise compliance packaging
Consider: Piwik PRO (or Matomo self-host outside this catalog’s EU-SaaS peers)
Vantevo is SaaS-only with no public self-host edition found.
When: You need full product analytics and long-horizon cohorts
Consider: Mixpanel or similar product analytics suites
Different category: identity-rich product instrumentation vs privacy-first site metrics.
When: You specifically want German-market privacy analytics peers
Consider: Pirsch Analytics or etracker (catalog peers)
Validate feature parity on ecommerce and import paths.
