For years I've been using Webtrends Log Analyser to run reports on usage statistics of my sites and a few of my clients' sites, which is all well and good ...until that is, I moved those sites to a new server. Webtrends bottles it, running away, throwing a grand hissy fit and telling me that I should upgrade with a clustertrends add-on, since I'm now quite obviously using a cluster environment. Webtrends is of course entirely wrong, but you try telling that to a wussy bit of software like that. It's gone home in a huff and won't come out to play. Of course the add-on is no longer available, due to a cunning ploy by the Webtrends marketing division who decided to scrap all old versions, stop supporting them and make lots of money by selling off an ultra-expensive piece of crap called Webtrends 7. I downloaded a demo of WT7 and tried to use it. I then stopped trying to use it to save myself from almost certain brain failure, and have now drawn the only possible conclusion. Must.... start... from... scratch! Must find new web analysis software that the bank manager will allow me to buy, whilst simultaneously being fairly simple to use and actually give some decent information about the logfiles. Webtrends 6.5 reports were pretty good... not perfect by a long shot, but you can't have it all. But something like Analog won't cut it. My clients will want to know why their nice logfile reports have suddenly turned all crappy and worryingly short. Oh yes, it's quite often down to quantity, not quality. You know how it is. So I need your suggestions. Anyone using any decent logfile analysis software that doesn't require a second mortgage and a PhD in astrophysics to get past the initial installation? Answers on a postcard please... or perhaps an email.
