I have about 120 sites on IIS, and I need a decent stats package that can provide each of my clients with their own stats, and still be secure enough to stop snooping by the other clients.

I got what I thought was a reasonable quote for WebTrends, but it turned out to be a 1M page view annual price instead of the 1M monthly price. Obviously, 1M views on an annual basis ain't gonna last too long, but anyway, I also have about 5 years of old stats I want to crunch and do year-on-year comparisons etc. WebTrends want to charge me for all the page views for the old stuff as if I bought it 5 years ago and paid them every month since (kinda like what CheckPoint do with FW-1).

Anyways, the bottom line is that, nice and all as WebTrends is, the "real" price is far higher than expected, and if I'd known that on day 1, I wouldn't have bothered with them.

Any recommendations for a replacement?

TIA.

I've always liked Urchin and Google are releasing a new version (currently in beta):

Urchin Software from Google

Michele was doing some tests with it recently and blogged about it. I got a little play with it too... really nice.

Other one I know of is Unica's Web Analytics Solution - NetInsight and that was quite good.

I hate WebTrends. Never liked their stats program.

Hope those help.

Rgds,

Dave

I was testing Urchin on Linux, so I've no idea of how good or bad it might be with IIS logs. I presume that it wouldn't be that different, though I've no idea how well the software works on a Windows machine.

You can grab a beta copy to play with ...

Another one I was looking at was Log file analysis | firewall management | mail server analysis: sawmill - primarily because it's very flexible and they actually have real humans answering the phones

Thanks for all the suggestions - I'm going to give Urchin a try.

not sure if this is quite what you are looking for but it might be worth a gawk anyhow : statcounter
