What Are Viewtracker’s Unique Advantages?
If you’re evaluating Viewtracker, you might wonder what sets it apart from the built-in system and other third-party solutions. Here are Viewtracker’s unique features that could make a real difference in how you understand and use your Confluence data:
Strong Data Privacy
Viewtracker prioritizes data protection with robust privacy features that ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
This includes:
- Data Residency: Control where your data is stored
- Flexible Group Management: Track or exclude specific user groups
- Customizable Report Access: Easily define who has access to the different Viewtracker reports to ensure that the right information reaches the right people.

Detailed Filtering & Visualization
You can dig deeper into your data with Viewtracker’s advanced filtering options. Want to know which content types are most popular? Curious about where your views are coming from? You can filter by content type, view source, logged-in anonymous users, and more. If you’re comfortable with CQL queries, use those for more specific insights.
Third-Party App and
URL Tracking
If you’re using Jira Service Management’s knowledge base or Apps like Scroll Viewport, Linchpin, Refined, and others, Viewtracker has you covered. Using the URL Reports feature in Viewtracker, you can track specific components of your Confluence, including user profiles, team pages, and the space directory. In Data Center, you can also add the tracking of any Confluence URL.
Search and
Attachment Insights
Viewtracker helps you to understand how your team uses the search function and interacts with attachments.
This helps you:
- Identify search terms that yield no results
- Discover topics of high interest
- Understand if attachments are being viewed
Flexibility in
Deployment
Whether you’re using Confluence Cloud or Data Center, Viewtracker can work for you. This flexibility means you can benefit from advanced analytics regardless of your Confluence setup.
Analytics
Report Macro
Create and showcase customized reports on Confluence pages. This allows you to present performance updates or comparisons to stakeholders, teammates, and others without accessing the Viewtracker reports.
Detailed Analysis Across Your Confluence Instance

How Does Confluence Analytics Compare to Viewtracker?
While Analytics for Confluence offers some basic insights, you may find that it doesn’t fully meet your needs. Here’s what you should know:
Availability and Cost
Confluence Analytics is only available with Confluence Data Center, Cloud Premium, and Cloud Enterprise plans, which can be costly for teams with fewer users.
Reporting Depth
Both tools offer basic reporting – Viewtracker additionally offers summaries of the most important KPIs and tracking of third-party apps.
Privacy Controls
In contrast to Confluence Analytics, Viewtracker allows the anonymization of personal data, excluding certain user groups and an audit log for changes in data privacy settings.
Administrator Overview
For Confluence administrators, Viewtracker offers a central overview that helps to understand when new storage or user licenses might be needed or how existing storage and license use could be optimized.
