Our site gets 10 million hits a month. We are using IIS. We had to get rid of Webtrends because they have a stupid limitation of 50 profiles. There enterprise version is way to expensive. It appears that these companies are smoking some funny stuff when it comes to there pricing. I heard netracker was good, but they are doing coke when you look at there prices. $6000 for just 100 profiles. Can you say stoned... We bought surfstatslive. Worked great until we loaded two years worth of stats. Its one slow pig after that. Takes almost 5 minutes to open. Same amout of time to click on another part of the report. Its on a dual cpu, 1GB ram, and raid 5 server and its still sloooooowwww. I need a reasonable price solution, free is best. Preferably something that outputs to html. Something that can auto increment each month. Stats does not make us money, just tells us how we are doing in se placement. Please advise... |

What all are you looking for? Just stats? Analytics? |

Website Analytics can certainly be quite expensive. Since you probably have access to the log files, you might want to look at some open source solutions. This lists the major ones, and since they're open source you may be able to make changes to them to customize it for your needs: [link] |

We use awstats which is free and very good and should be compatible with your current set-up. [link] |

Why are you trying to see 2 years worth of data? If you are analyzing for usability, referrers, search engine stats....30 days to 6 months should give you some very good profile data to work with... It really depends on what industry sector you are in...some need to look at longer data curves ...others...more immediate recent trends... I like 123loganalyzer ... not sure if it can handle what you want to achieve... It does geo profiling and you can also run some marketing data against your traffic... |

More than one department looks at the stats. SE Person only uses the last few months, but marketing compares current month with the previous years month. They sometimes go back more then just the previous year. Webtrends was optimal. You can schedule it and have it create the html in a directory that auto increments for that current month. Meaning that Feb would be created in a directory 2005 2 and next month it would created 03. You never had to touch it again just let it run. The only thing we did was zip the log files and archive. The 50 profiles was the deal breaker for Webtrends. We have more that 50 different types of filters based on what marketing wants to know. So each filter needed a different profile. |
