Running Matomo On-Premise means managing servers, databases, updates, and security patches. For small teams without dedicated DevOps, this maintenance burden can be significant.
Maintenance and update burden
Matomo releases frequent updates that need to be applied manually for self-hosted installations. Plugin compatibility, PHP version requirements, and database migrations add ongoing work.
Dated user interface
Matomo's interface has improved over the years but can still feel complex compared to modern analytics tools. Finding specific insights often requires navigating through multiple menus.
