I have searched Webmasterworld on this subject and read this thread:
[webmasterworld.com...]
I thought it would be great to update the situation. It seems a lot has changed in this market.
What would be the best choice for a webmaster who want to analyse the logs of several customer's websites?
Would it be best to download their logs and analyse them locally? What would be the best choice(s) today?
It took me a day to install, configure and test Analog + Report Magic. It's a good tool. However, although I remember most of my DOS commands and command line programming, the time it takes to reconfigure this for each site is too much asked for me. And I expected more details regarding referrers, search engines and search phrases. Maybe it's there, but I would prefer not to spend a week at learning and configuring a tool. Of course, it's free, so no complain!
I would look forward to reading it!

Export logs - the service dumps all raw data into relational database. You then have access to query it. I toggle between five sites and it works well but the the sucky factor is the price.
You either need to run your log file through a program called DNSTrans first or use the command line interface.
I've also tried webalyzer but it sometimes gets the numbers wrong, I've used other programs too but I couldn't congigure them too count only my pages as pages (I don't use extensions).

Almost forgot, you can set up 5 profiles (URL's) within your account for the above pricing. Each profile thereafter is $2.00 per month. Keep in mind that the Page Views applies to all profiles, its not 50,000 per profile. You can also set up access for your clients and the program will automatically send them a username and login, its really cool!
