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.

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.
