APT Strategies
has provided log file
analysis using web analytics software since 1994 and is an
authorised reseller of Urchin WebAnalytics software.

Web Analytics is the software
tool you use to measure the ROI of your
organisations website. From which Search Engines a
visitor uses to find you, to behavioral patterns such as the
paths visitors take through your site and their loyalty i.e. are
they returning?
Put simply, in our opinion,
"Urchin is smarter at doing this than any other product on the
market."
How? By using both log files and
cookie information, Urchin captures visitor parameters and true
path data via the Urchin Tracking Module (UTM) - a free
client-side data collection component that transparently sends
additional data back to the server and into the log file.
The UTM uses a first-party cookie
to overcome the effects of caches, proxies, and IP-recycling to
provide the most accurate and complete reporting available from
ANY analytics solution.

Excerpts from the review:
"...a massive plus for Urchin is the use of
Adobe's [SVG graphics] format, which allows users
to 'interact' with graphs and pie charts... in practice,
this is a very nice feature."
"Urchin v5.00: Great value-for-money; Small
resource footprint; fast, ease of use for both end
user and admin; SVG"
"Ease of Use (admin): Compared to WebTrends,
this was an absolute breeze. A relatively 'light'
download followed by a simple install script and the
product was installed and registered in under 5 minutes!"
"Urchin's speed and ease-of-use for both administrator
and end user, coupled with its low cost of ownership,
makes this a very desirable package for web site owners
and web hosting companies alike."
