What other web analytics tools people use other than google analytics?.

Answer 1

• Webtrends
• Webalizer (C)
• AWStats (Perl)
• Smarterstats

Did you want free ones? 2 of those aren't, but webalizer is quite poor. AWStats is decent and free. Plus google "web stats" and you get hundreds of commercial ones.

Or the open directory links:

• Log analysis (Free/open source)
• Log analysis (Commercial ones)

If you're in the mood to finish a project, I got 1/3 through writing one in C# :) Unfortunately the most important part - the eye candy reporting - was never finished. But the parsing was done.

Answer 2

I don't have any experience with it but this seem to be the most "famous" open source solution:

• Piwik (Open Source)

These are other commercial solutions:

• Woopra (Free during beta)
• Clicky Web Analytics
• Compete
• ClickTale

I have no idea of their usage statistic. I wonder why someone would pay for this kind of service.

Answer 3

Mint is nice, very pretty, lots of features, and not very expensive at all.

Answer 4

If you want to spend a lot of money and time, try out Omniture SiteCatalyst.

Answer 5

If you want an easy-to-use, real-time, high-performance tracking and reporting system which lets you download all of your data (if you want), you can try my company:

ConversionRuler conversion tracking

We track sites which gets 10M+ page view per month without a hiccup, and have dozens of agency clients who track 30+ clients using our tools. Many of them use us as an alternative to Omniture and WebTrends to save on their enormous costs.

Not for everyone, but worth a look. We focus on "less is more", and we're not a search engine who you may not want to give your data to, especially if you're paying them for traffic. (e.g. Google Analytics, Urchin, and Yahoo! Analytics)

My $0.02.

Answer 6

Reinvigorate - seems like they're always in beta registrations though. One upcoming feature they do mention is being able see heat map reports.

Answer 7

Please see my answer to this question with a comparison of metrics. It is meant as a warning against using Awstats and the like. Just because a tool produces number and colorful charts, it does not mean it is any good.

I posted a screen shot of the Woopra live analytics capabilities in my answer to this question.
