Web Stats Programs?
 

Hi guys,

We are looking to upgrade our web stats applications on our websites, what programs do you use or recommend??

I have looked into: http://www.netiq.com/webtrends/default.asp - web trends but its very expensive.

The software needs to handle multiple sites and large amount of traffic, plus it needs to deliver good statistics with a user friendly interface.

One main request is that is shows on which pages our surfers are leaving the site :)

Regards

Andy

I use Urchin http://www.urchin.com/

does this sit on the server or local computer? The software we need has to be hosted due to people in both UK and USA accessing the results.

Regards

It's on the servers

looking at it now... looks good.. how well does it handle multiple sites? is there a menu to start?

Yea, you can have a menu with all your sites listed, clicking on each one will open up the stats in a new window.
