Tracking Software review

[CMUNSON]

     Yes, I'd also recommend this issue of Internet World. I've been 
     evaluating and testing log analysis software this week and was 
     pleasantly surprised to see this excellent article in the mail. It 
     includes URLs so that you can download demo versions.
     
     I'm also recommending a book I picked up several weeks ago titled "Web 
     Site Stats" by Rick Stout. It's very informative and the presentation 
     is very clear. [Osborne/McGraw-Hill: Berkeley, CA, 1997. $29.95 ISBN# 
     0-07-882236-X]
     
     My testing is still in the early stages, but I have found that 
     net.Analysis chokes on a 120 mb log file, whereas Interse Market Focus 
     does a much better job of ingesting the file.
     
     Good luck

The latest Internet World (June 97, 8:6) has a review of web-site 
analysis software on pages 74ff.  It's pretty good, though after a 
quick skim I didn't see mention of Analog, which is a good (I think 
free) tool.  It's interesting that the IW labs ssay they "didn't have 
the facilities" to test any Unix-based analysis tools.  Hmmm!
