People underestimate "grep" and "sed" and "mysql" and "excel".The analytics platform I've seen that was by *far* the most useful was one we used at the previous company that associated "referring_url" -> "user cookie" and "marketing program" -> "user cookie" (these were emails, affiliates, etc) and "user cookie" -> "revenue from this user" and "user cookie" -> "profit from this user"MySQL could then easily produce actionable results like "this affiliate produced 30% less revenue yesterday than it's average for last week - let's call them" (and indeed we automated such reports), and Excel could translate this into pretty pictures where one axis was dollars that the CFO cared about when we wanted to justify marketing budgets.I haven't seen a web-tool yet that could automate sending email alerts that we cared about as easily as a roll-you-own database could.

It would be nice if instead of all these 'Top 10' lists we could have some comparisons of two or three of the more popular tools.

I use both Google Analytics and 4Q Iperceptions. 4Q is great, it tells you the qualitative aspect of analytics and user satisfaction in a nice dashboard. But definitely check out each applications' pros and cons before implementing web analytics. <a class="user" href="http://www.zoommetrix.com">http://www.zoommetrix.com</a>
