WebTrends is ok. It makes some assumptions to create figures for "user

sessions", etc. While these assumptions are rather dubious, they're becoming

the norm.


However, even the very latest version of WebTrends doesn't give you a

total number of users (or hosts, IP addresses, or any other "equivalent").

I see this as a fundamental flaw.


I haven't used it myself yet, but NetTracker looks good. Demo at
