We are considering moving to a different analytics platform instead

mberkowski commented 2 years ago

Just a note - internally umn lib has been running Matomo (self hosted) but we don't have a solution to share outside the org, neither to logged in users or public dashboards if those are needed.

karenmajewicz commented 2 years ago

Thanks for the info note - those limitations might not be a problem for us moving forward. We haven't had any non-UMN users actually use Google Analytics on their own and we may be reconsidering our need for Tableau. Our main Google Analytics usage has been that I (or Ryan) log into the platform and manually extract various statistics.

We are also considering other platforms beyond Matomo. (i.e., Fathom)

Need to add Matomo tracking snippet Michael sent me.

karenmajewicz commented 1 year ago

Added Matomo instead.

Will need to revisit to see if we need to retain Google Analytics in tandem going forward.

karenmajewicz commented 1 year ago

Check in about this in June. Matomo is working well and we should assess if we want to keep Google Analytics running in tandem.

ewlarson commented 8 months ago

Closing. Using Matomo only.
