• Matomo maker InnoCraft named 2023 Hi-Tech Awards finalist

  20 avril 2023, par Erin — Press Releases

  WELLINGTON, N.Z., April 20, 2023 – InnoCraft, the makers of world-leading open-source web analytics platform Matomo, has been named an ASX Hi-Tech Emerging Company of the Year finalist in the 2023 Hi-Tech Awards. 



  Matomo founder Matthieu Aubry says, “At Matomo, we believe in empowering individuals and organizations to make informed decisions about their digital presence. By providing an open-source website analytics platform, we have created a more transparent and trustworthy digital ecosystem. We are proud to be recognised as a finalist for the Hi-Tech Awards, and we will continue to work towards a more open and ethical digital landscape, and grow the business in New Zealand and worldwide.”



  About Matomo

  Matomo, launched in 2007 as an open-source, privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative, is trusted by over 1.5 million websites in 220 countries and has been translated in over 50 languages. Matomo tracks and analyses online visits and traffic to give users a deeper understanding of their website visitors to drive conversions and revenue ; while keeping businesses compliant with privacy laws worldwide, such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

  Aubry says Matomo is performing extremely well internationally as consumers and organizations look for privacy-focused analytics solutions, with several European countries already ruling the use of Google Analytics illegal due to data transfers to the US. In addition, Matomo’s user increase was recognized earlier this year with W3Tech’s award for the best web analytics software in its Web Technologies of the Year 2022 – with previous winners including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel.



  A record number of companies entered the 2023 Hi-Tech Awards, with entries coming in from across the country and from all areas of the Hi-Tech sector. This depth is reflected in the line-up of finalists this year, according to David Downs, Chair of the Hi-Tech Trust, who says the standard of entries continue to grow every year.

”

  The hi-tech sector continues to flourish and it’s fantastic to see the success that so many of our companies enjoy on the international stage. This sector continues to prove its resilience and is at the forefront of our export economy in turbulent times,” says Downs.



  The Hi-Tech Awards Gala Dinner will take place on Friday, the 23rd of June, in Christchurch.

• FFMpeg process created from Java on CentOS doesn't exit

  21 juin 2017, par Donz

  I need to convert a lot of wave files simultaneously. About 300 files in parallel. And new files come constantly. I use ffmpeg process call from my Java 1.8 app, which is running on CentOS. I know that I have to read error and input streams for making created process from Java possible to exit.

  My code after several expirements :

      private void ffmpegconverter(String fileIn, String fileOut){
  
      String[] comand = new String[]{"ffmpeg", "-v", "-8", "-i", fileIn, "-acodec", "pcm_s16le", fileOut};
  
  
  
      Process process = null;
  
      BufferedReader reader = null;
  
      try {
  
          ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(comand);
  
          pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
  
          process = pb.start();
  
  
  
          //Reading from error and standard output console buffer of process. Or it could halts because of nobody
  
          //reads its buffer
  
          reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
  
          String s;
  
          //noinspection StatementWithEmptyBody
  
          while ((s = reader.readLine()) != null) {
  
              log.info(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " with fileIn " + fileIn + " and fileOut " + fileOut + " writes " + s);
  
              //Ignored as we just need to empty the output buffer from process
  
          }
  
          log.info(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " ffmpeg process will be waited for");
  
          if (process.waitFor( 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS )) {
  
              log.info(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " ffmpeg process exited normally");
  
          } else {
  
              log.info(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " ffmpeg process timed out and will be killed");
  
          }
  
  
  
      } catch (IOException | InterruptedException e) {
  
          log.error(Thread.currentThread().getName() + "Error during ffmpeg process executing", e);
  
      } finally {
  
          if (process != null) {
  
              if (reader != null) {
  
                  try {
  
                      reader.close();
  
                  } catch (IOException e) {
  
                      log.error("Error during closing the process streams reader", e);
  
                  }
  
              }
  
              try {
  
                  process.getOutputStream().close();
  
              } catch (IOException e) {
  
                  log.error("Error during closing the process output stream", e);
  
              }
  
              process.destroyForcibly();
  
              log.info(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " ffmpeg process " + process + " must be dead now");
  
          }
  
      }
  
  }

  If I run separate test with this code it goes normally. But in my app I have hundreds of RUNNING deamon threads "process reaper" which are waiting for ffmpeg process finish. In my real app ffpmeg is started from timer thread. Also I have another activity in separate threads, but I don’t think that this is the problem. Max CPU consume is about 10%.

  Here is that I usual see in thread dump :

  "process reaper" #454 daemon prio=10 os_prio=0 tid=0x00007f641c007000 nid=0x5247 runnable [0x00007f63ec063000]
  
     java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE
  
      at java.lang.UNIXProcess.waitForProcessExit(Native Method)
  
      at java.lang.UNIXProcess.lambda$initStreams$3(UNIXProcess.java:289)
  
      at java.lang.UNIXProcess$$Lambda$32/2113551491.run(Unknown Source)
  
      at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142)
  
      at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617)
  
      at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

  What am I doing wrong ?

  UPD :
  My app accepts a lot of connects with voice traffic. So I have about 300-500 another "good" threads in every moment. Could it be the reason ? Deamon threads have low priority. But I don’t beleive that they really can’t do their jobs in one hour. Ususally it takes some tens of millis.

  UPD2 :
  My synthetic test that runs fine. I tried with new threads option and without it just with straigt calling of run method.

  Sorry, I forgot to notice that I see the work of all these process - they created new converted files but anyway don’t exit.

• Why Matomo is a serious alternative to Google Analytics 360

  12 décembre 2018, par Jake Thornton — Marketing
  There’s no doubt about it, the free version of Google Analytics offers great value when it comes to making data-driven decisions for your business. But as your business starts to grow, so does the need for a more powerful web analytics tool.

  Why would I need to use a different web analytics tool ? It’s because Google Analytics (free version) is very limited when it comes to meeting the needs of a fast growing business whose website plays a pivotal role in converting its customers.

  This is where the Google Analytics 360 suite comes in, which is designed to meet the needs of businesses looking to get more accurate and insightful metrics.

  So what’s holding a growing business back from using Google Analytics 360 ?

  While GA360 sounds like a great option when upgrading your web analytics platform, we have found there are three core reasons holding businesses back from taking the leap :

  • Businesses can’t bear to swallow the US$150,000+ price tag (per year !) that comes with upgrading
  • Businesses can’t rely on GA360 to give them all the insights they need
  • Businesses want more control and ownership of their data

  Thankfully there are (only a few) alternatives and as the leading open-source alternative to Google Analytics, we hope to share insights on why Matomo Analytics can be the perfect solution for anyone at this crossroads in their web analytics journey.

  First, what does Google Analytics 360 offer that Google Analytics (free) doesn’t ?

  There’s no doubt about it, the GA360 suite is designed for larger sized businesses with demanding data limits, big budgets to use across the Google Marketing Platform (Google Adwords, DoubleClick etc.) and to get more advanced reporting visualisations and options.
  

  Data Sampling

  Data sampling is the elephant in the room when it comes to comparing GA360 with the freemium version. This is an entire article in its own right but at a basic level, Google Analytics samples your data (makes assumptions based on patterns) once the number of traffic visiting your website reaches a certain limit.

  Google Analytics provides the following information :

  Ad-hoc queries of your data are subject to the following general thresholds for sampling :

  Analytics Standard : 500k sessions at the property level for the date range you are using

  Analytics 360 : 100M sessions at the view level for the date range you are using

  In short, sampled data means inaccurate data. This is why as businesses grow, GA360 becomes a more attractive prospect because there’s no point making data-driven business decisions based on inaccurate data. This is a key weapon Google uses when selling to large businesses, however, this may not seem as concerning if you’re a small business within the sampled data range. For small businesses though, make sure you know the full extent of how this can affect your metrics, for example, your ecommerce data could be sampled, hence your GA reporting not matching your CRM/Ecommerce store data.

  Benefit of using Matomo : There is no data sampling anywhere in Matomo Analytics, that’s why we say 100% Accurate Data reporting across all plans.

  

  Integration with the Google Marketing Platform

  Yes ok, we’ll admit it, GA does a great job at integrating seamlessly with its own products like Google Ads, Google Optimize etc. with a touch of Salesforce integration ; while GA360 takes this to another level compared to it’s freemium version (integration with Google Search 360, Google Display & Video 360 etc.)

  But… what about non-Google advertising platforms ? Well with Google being a dominant leader as a search engine, web browser, email provider, social media channel ; sometimes Google needs to keep its best interests at heart.

  Google is an online advertising giant and a bonus of Google Search 360 is that you can integrate your Bing Ads, Baidu and Yahoo Japan Search campaigns but that’s about it when it comes to integrations from its direct competitors. 

  Benefit of using Matomo : No biased treatment. You can integrate your Google, Yahoo and Bing search consoles for accurate search engine reporting, and in early 2019, Matomo will be releasing a Google Ads, Bing Ads and Facebook Ads Manager integration feature.

  Roll-Up Reporting
  

  Roll-up reporting lets you combine multiple accounts and properties into one view. This is a great benefit when upgrading from GA freemium to GA360. For example, if you’re a digital agency with multiple clients or you manage multiple websites under the one account, the roll-up reporting feature is wonderful when you need to combine data and reporting, instantly.

  Benefit of using Matomo : Matomo’s got this covered ! Roll-up reporting is available in the Matomo Business package (starting at $29 per month) for cloud hosting or you can purchase as a Premium Feature for On-Premise starting at $99 per year.

  Staying in full control of your data

  Who would have thought that one of biggest reasons people choose Matomo isn’t because of anything that leads to a higher ROI, but for the fact that users want more control of their data.
  

  Matomo’s philosophy around data ownership is simple, you own your data, no one else. If you choose to host Matomo Analytics On-Premise then you are in complete control because your data is stored on your own servers where no one can gain access to it in whichever country you choose.

  So what about when you cloud host Matomo ? For users who don’t have the technical knowledge to host Matomo On-Premise, you can still have 100% data ownership and fully respect your user’s privacy when choosing to host Matomo Analytics through our cloud service.

  The difference between cloud hosting Matomo Analytics vs Google Analytics is that when you choose Matomo, we acknowledge you own the data and we have no right to access it. This means we can’t on-sell it to third-parties, we can’t claim ownership of it, you can export your data at anytime (how awesome is that !) and you can migrate between cloud hosting and hosting on-premise for ultimate flexibility whenever you want.

  Matomo also prides itself in allowing its users to be GDPR compliant with ease with a powerful GDPR Manager.

  Businesses can’t rely on Google Analytics 360 to give them all the insights they need

  Unlike Google Analytics 360, Matomo blends its Premium Web Analytics platform with Conversion Optimization features to allow its users to fully evaluate the user-experience on your website.

  Matomo is designed to be a complete analytics platform, meaning you have everything you need all in the one place which gives you greater insights and better business outcomes.

  
  These features include :

  Premium Web Analytics – You can still (accurately) measure all the basic metrics you love and are familiar with in Google Analytics like Location, Referrer traffic, Multi Attribution, Campaign Tracking and Ecommerce etc.

  Conversion Optimization – Eliminate the need for multiple analytics tools to get what Google Analytics doesn’t offer. These features include Heatmaps, Session Recordings, Form Analytics and more – giving you the best chance possible to convert more traffic by evaluating the user-experience.

  By having one tool for all your features you can integrate metrics, have one single view for all your data and it’s easy to use.

  Enhanced SEO – Get more insights into the performance of your search campaigns with unbiased search engine reporting, keyword ranking positions, integration with multiple search consoles and crawling stats. Google Analytics offers limited features to help with your SEO campaigns and only integrates with Google products.

  Visitor Profiles – Get a detailed life-time evaluation of every user who visits your website.

  Tag Manager – A powerful open-source Tag Manager tool to embed your third-party marketing tags. By being open-source and with our commitment to giving you 100% data ownership, you can always ensure you are in full control.

  Full Matomo vs Google Analytics 360 Comparison Table

  Just putting it out there ...

  Google leads the market with its freemium tool which offers great insights for businesses (fyi – Matomo has a forever free analytics tool too !), but when it comes to upgrading to get accurate reporting (kind of a big deal), owning your own data (a huge deal !) and having a complete range of features to excel ROI for your business, Matomo Analytics is often a preferred option to the Google Analytics 360 suite.

  Matomo is designed to be easy to use, is fully flexible and gives users full peace of mind by respecting user privacy. Want to learn more about the benefits of Matomo ?
