Matomo draait op meer dan 1 miljoen websites in 190 landen, goed voor 6% van de top 10.000 sites wereldwijd. Dit open-sourceplatform, dat in 2007 werd gestart als reactie op privacyproblemen met tools als Google Analytics, legt het eigendom van gegevens volledig in handen van de gebruikers. De Franse provider Stackhero gaat nog een stap verder met managed cloudhosting. Vanuit de basis in Lille implementeert het bedrijf, opgericht in 2009 en omgedoopt tot PaaS in 2018, kant-en-klare Matomo-instanties. Gebruikers hebben in minder dan twee minuten toegang tot analysedashboards of kunnen integreren via Heroku. Stackhero beheert de infrastructuur, updates, back-ups en beveiliging. Geen beperkingen op het gebied van gevolgde sites, teamleden of gegevensretentie. Hosting van verblijven in de EU voor naleving. Bedrijven die Big Tech-datastromen vermijden, vinden deze opzet praktisch.
