PERSONAL NOTES
• You really have to try these out in your environment
to see how they will work for you.
• The DeepMetix product is very nice and affordable, and
the various free offerings are pretty robust.
• WebTrends is the big daddy of this category, although
their pricing and recent feature set leaves something
to be desired.
