I'm trying to wean a business off Google. Will start with GA. Does anyone have any ideas as to alternatives. Needs to be accurate and to be able to track goals easily. I do not mind a few hours set-up time, but don't want a huge learning curve and a ton of systems admin work as that would be overkill for this business.

Don't forget you can roll your own (bit of work, of course). Vast majority of desired data is in ordinary server logs.

Currently testing Piwik Pro. Looks good - but kinda pricey. Also going to live test OWA.

Brett.. you need to remaster Traxis (if that's the right name) :-) Your Perl-based web stats program from the early 2000s
