I'm going to try it when I'm home then I will give my review

Ending Notes
Overall, Piwik’s a great option to keep your data secure, but if you’re really looking at advanced data manipulation, you’re better off using Google or Omniture.

we'll probably have to wait for about months and we'll see the improvements of this piwik features.

Trying to kill Google from what I do. Piwik has been great for me.

I'm using Piwik and G.Analytics for the same site. I haven't compared thoroughly but at the moment, Piwik is showing more Referer Search Keywords than G.Analytics.

I too am doing the same thing since yesterday. I still believe there won't be much of a difference in stats between Analytics and Piwik.
However, my preffered choice is still 'awstats'.

GA pisses me off because it's not easy to do more than 50 sites. AWStats causes me trouble on really high traffic sites. I gotta get Piwik going.

I use the usual, GA and awstats mainly (mostly awstats it has to be said).

Looking forward to giving this a shot on a few of my sites, and looking forward to seeing the results you guys get.

Nice article on ash's blog btw
