The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I've been working with this extension, both the free and the pro version, for about a year and a half now, on several sites.
I doubt there's any commercial extensions that have the functionality this one does. And seeing how far it has come in such a short time, gives me confidence that the future is bright.

This extension is the only true stats component out there, in the the world of Joomla and perhaps closer to anyone outside Joomla. I simply love the thrill of its realtime reporting of visitors. One look and you can read the pattern of your site navigation by visitors which helps to enhance the site flow.

Just imagine, how much would you have to pay to have such an excellent component with akl the features it can offer?

How about ability to toggle block any malacious user's IP address or even annoying bots?

Or inbuilt ability to see Geo-location information of visitors?

Or the best support forum in the business?

Well, ok, so you have to subscribe to get "Prioritized support answers" with some extra features, get upgrades to the "pro" version. With that TOP notch support by developer, comes an ethical dealing experience i.e. if you are not happy with product for whatsoever reason, you get your full refund. How many of Joomla Extension providers really follow this priniciple, majority does not including "PaymentsPlus for Mosets" which I had terrible exrience with their support and its fancy but not userful in real world component, some aussie kid who really has very basic programming skills and limited logic, very dogmatic though.
On the other hand, Matej, the developer is a Gem, he goes out of his way if needed to resolve any issue possible. He is awesome! I would recommend anyone to work with him for any Joomla Project which he is willing to take charge. Very reliable and trustworthy!
Well, all the pro version has that he doesn't give away for free is the Last Visit Map, Interactive HTML5 Traffic Flow, Inversed Goals, Submitted GET/POST vars, 1/7/30-day DB Status, Component & Module sizes, Frontend logo removal, Frontend backlink removal, Prioritized support answers, Link from donation pagemonetizing compontent. The guy's gotta eat... he can't give it all away.

I was happy as a free user being able to access the forum at all, along with the documentation. I bought a subscription last year, and now am re-upping.

But you don't have to pay a dime to have a great, fully-functional stats component, using this software with features Live Stats, Graphs & Trends, Goals, Visits History, Anti-Spam, Nightly Email Reports.

I really can't say enough good about this extension. The support is excellent, the development is brisk, and I can't see using anything else for a Professional Stats component.

very good extension to learn about the visits on my site.
I use the free version.
thanks

I used the non-commercial version for a long time, and wanted to upgrade to the most recent version of JoomlaWatch (for Joomla 1.5). The registration and upgrade process were really simple.

I had some issues with one of the features of JoomlaWatch after upgrading, but the support I received was great. The solution they sent me worked like a charm. :)

Great extension, great support.

I am using Joomlawatch now for 2 years and its by far the best analytics tool out there.

Latest version was enriched with some nice features.

Installation is easy - I didnt have any problem.

Looking forward that a J1.6 version is realased that I can use it also on my new project :)

Highly recommendable!

I love this component, no bugs, no problems and a quick overview on my visitors. It helps me improve metatags, adwords and gives a excellent overview which pages are visited.

Hello. I just installed your Pro Version Module for a friend on here site, it was very easy to install on 1.5.22 and everything worked perfect. I use another high end subscription to track my site, but I have to say yours is very very impressive. I might be changing soon.
Excellent work guys, I have worked with a lot of Plug-ins and Modules I think this is one of the best ones.

I did not expect such a good tool ! it will change my webmaster's behave
thank you SO much for this extension

I have been using Joomlawatch for a couple of years already, it allows me many things, primarily to block unwanted users and users from certain countries, i can make a follow up of visitors, i can see which pages they most visit etc, etc, i have donated 9 euros due to my little pocket, but gladly i would have donate the dubble if i could. non of the others compare to this.

I tried a lot of statistics extensions but this is the most powerfull and complet I ever seen

Thanks a lot !

Just EXCELLENT work and very good guide!!!
Thank you very very much!
Really perfect!

Pros
Really great functionality component it is like your own google analytic even better it shows live data and so much more.Installs with two click and it does what it is said to do... and that is really a lot.

Cons
The UI is giving me a brain hemorrhage. Really painful to look at. Cramming all available information on one page does not make you process it. On contrary it makes you ignore it or get lost in it. The reason that stopped me from giving the maximum.

To the developer/s:
You are amazing programmer/s no doubts about it. BUT pleeeeez hire a (interaction)designer to do the UI for the component. No offense meant.

Cheerz

the good news : it works like a charm on J! 1.5.22
the bad news : it is too addictive !

No problem at all. Very good job.

very good component, easy to install and use, install the component and agent module and visitor module, then enable each. It also can be displayed in frontend.

thank author for great job.

what a great component.
had just a little issue after installation, cause i didn't chmodded properly the specified directories.
once done, it works like a charm. you can follow every visitor, look at his route, look at the referrer sites in real time.
fantastic component, I donated 9 euros after ten minutes I started using it. thank you guys

The module is presenting incorrect data.

Left it installed for over 2 weeks and the information it was giving was total nonsense. Every day it reports differently to my server stats.

I then try it real time - I know visitors are there because I IRC them to test it. No sign of them - even tomorrow, yet they are in my server logs following day.

Will try something a bit easier to understand.

Fantastic component! Installed quick and worked right of out the box with no problems at all. I have web stats in Google Analytics and my hosting CPanel... but this is SO much easier, plus I can keep an eye on visitors and especially bots. This is something that should be put in core, in my opinion.

Oh yeah: It does display ads in the backend... but so what? Only admins see it and it's NO big deal!

Kudos to the developer. This is a truly great piece of work!

I was looking for an objective statistical module, and after trying several products I've stayed at JoomlaWatch. Great job! I wish you good luck from Czech Republic. :-)

One is the time on the main page (it's off by a whole day)

Second is the ban feature, you should be able to see a list of all banned ip's and then a clean way to un-ban them. With these 2 items fixed, it's an excellent product.

I am impressed with Joomlawatch !

The information it produces, in real time, is better than watching TV. This is a must for any Joomla site admin who wants to know what is happening on their site.

Worked straight out of the zip archive :)
