Best Value Website Stats Packages Or Services?

Posted by Chris Blackman on 6/20/2006 at 5:34 PM ET 500 Points
I've been using DeepMetrix and find it easy to use and comprehensive enough without producing overly complex reports.

Went to deploy it on a new website and discovered the DeepMetrix business has been gobbled up by Microsoft who have taken the products out of circulation, at least for the moment! Local Microsoft office has no idea what's happening with it and when it might re-emerge.

Can anyone recommend a comparable web stats package that deploys easily, is reasonably comprehensive, and produces concise reports?

Thanks

    Hi Chris,

    Are you using Go Daddy for server space?

    If so, you can't beat their "Traffic Facts" for $2.95 a month.

    https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/stats_Landing.asp?se=%2B&ci=261

    Check it out, I think it meets your criteria.

    If you aren't using them for server space, check that out too, that you can't beat.

    Google Analytics is pretty powerful and free. ClickTracks is also very good.

    I've using webtrends for years. seems fine to me.

    if you need to know more about your competitors' websites, then hotwise is a very good choice.

    Good luck man,

    Chris,
    as I am not familiar with DeepMatrix, I can't say that these are comparable, but I can tell you I wouldn't recommend GoDaddy's Traffic Facts. I just don't feel like it provides enough info., timely enough for my taste. Not as user friendly as WebTrends.

    WebTrends is pretty decent. Though I recently got on Google Analytics, and I think that will be my tool of choice. It is very inexpensive and very detailed.

    Google Analytics is very good, if you can wait to get in.

    CNstats is a great stat tool, only 200 bucks to buy.

    Mint Stats kicks, and only 30 bucks. (www.haveamint.com)

    Between all three, I get all the information I need.

    Thanks to everyone for their contributions.

    We set up on the trial version of Web-stat which seems pretty good. We also registered on 21 June for Google Analytics and the invitation code just came through this morning 28 June, so we might trial both at once (the coding guys will kill me!)
