Installation was a breeze with just a snippet of JavaScript to install on each page to be tracked and the reports look like they'll be very informative (I've only just installed it so there's no data yet). Best of all, all of the processing is done by Google and I can schedule emailed reports to go directly to my client. :) I’ve installed Google Analytics as a first try and so far so good.

Too clunky and doesn't get right to the point easily. I'm not saying it's no good but you need to know where to look to get the info you're after. Sure it's pretty with it's AJAX interface. It's worth a look with the free tag. But if you're shopping around, I'd try a couple of differently powered ones to get a better representation.

It certainly looks like a comprehensive package. Have you any experience with Google Analytics at all? Thanks for the Tracewatch suggestion. It certainly looks like a comprehensive package.

Have you any experience with Google Analytics at all?

I used to have it running to track spambots down, but was quite impressed with the stats it produced too. Oh it's free ;) Tracewatch is a good stats package, PHP based and runs on your own server, so JS disabled browsers will still register.
