ClickTracks was good (but buggy) when it came out and there were no alternatives. Once Google Analytics arrived, we dropped ClickTracks for Analytics and we were very happy with that switch. We were then sold Coremetrics based on promised features that turned out to be lies. The biggest one was that Coremetrics would tie into our SFDC data (key for us) and after we signed the contract and spent 2 months getting our site instrumented for Coremetrics, we then found out that they don't connect to SFDC. As Google Analytics does 95% of what Coremetrics does, without the requirement of instrumenting every link on every page, we're back to Google Analytics. We're still paying Coremetrics because we signed a contract, but we're not using it as, even for free, it's inferior to Google Analytics. We’ve used ClickTracks, Coremetrics, and Google Analytics.

Why cant we look at analytics tools like SiteAnalytix offered by Found Mojo or IsacGlobal. This also promises 80% of the features of all the tools given above at 20% of the price... My team has been using this tool, the best part is, you can always go back to the Isacglobal team and demand the kind of reports you require, they put it up specially for you ina very short time That is a very nice list, but why do you have to always list only those that are either extremely expensive and cannot be afforded by SME’s or those that are open and free source and lack 80% of the features of the paid ones… Why cant we look at analytics tools like SiteAnalytix offered by Found Mojo or IsacGlobal.
