and honestly, there's still no other tool that does what GoAccess does quite as well. Most of the alternatives are cookie-cutter, JS-based Google Analytics wannabes. And with bots becoming much smarter and more prevalent when accessing websites, relying solely on JS-based tracking isn't as trustworthy anymore. We use GoAccess to capture what JS-based analytics can't, e.g., server side perf and traffic data. It's not meant to serve the marketing team though.
