OWA is comparable to Google Analytics, though OWA is server software anyone can install and run on their own host, while Google Analytics is a software service offered by Google.^[2]

OWA supports tracking with WordPress and MediaWiki, two popular website frameworks.^[4] This application helps webmasters keep track of and observe the influx of views on their websites.
