Awstats or Webalizer

[Dave M]

Here's another hosting poll, this time about the stats logging software Awstats and Webalizer. Which one is your favorite? Which one gives you the most information? Step right up and cast your vote!

[Spooky]

Awstats, without a doubt. It gives comprehensive reports that are also easy to understand, so it's useful for both techies and newbies alike. It's also not as much as resource hog as Webalizer, which is a huge consideration for me.

[JeremyWJ]

I like webalizer. Its what I'm use to and was the only thing available when I first had normal web hosting. I have tried awstats though and have to admit it gives better detailed stats. I do believe webalizer is easier to read however.

I vote Webalizer.

[MattBarthorp]

Definately its Awstats. It is one the most trusted and helpful tools to analyse the traffic to a particular website.

[Martin]

I have only used Awstats. So, my vote goes with it. I love Awstats because of its simplicity. I don't think that any other Statistic Tools might be so simple to use.

[jason s]

I love awstats because it's simple and covers nearly everything you want to know about your website.

[Amelia]

Right, I agree with Jason. Awstats provides most of the information you generally need from a stats software.

[chrisB]

Awstats is better when you compare Astats and webalizer.. I guess somebody of you have tried Google Analytics(GA). It is also good when compared to Awstats.GA uses a method named Pagetagging against Awstats which uses File caching.

I have used Awstats for so long there is no point to me changing to something else now, unless of course Awstats starts acting up and doing things wrong. I will still check both, but I always check Awstats more than any other.

[mander]

Is this all time favorite or just your favorite for right now? I have used both but I do prefer Awstats over anything else so far. It is simple and quick to pop in and check what I need, I do not want to read the manual for task that should be easy.

[CustomServer]

I have only used Webalizer when it comes to out of the box solutions that come with web hosting package. I never used Awstats before.

[Zohann]

I use both StatCounter and Google Analytics for my sites, but I guess those are not the solutions that you can install on your web server. On the server I usually use Webalizer which is very modest when compared to these two solutions.

[paullopez]

I would like to vote for a AWStats. I used Webalizer as well. But honestly I don't like it. For me AWStats and Google Analytics is good enough.....

[crackle]

My vote goes to Awstats, it has a simple interface and gives comprehensive reports which are easy to understand.

[Michelle Taylor]

Without a question, awstats. It gives detailed reports that are simple to interpret, making it beneficial for both IT experts and non - professionals. It uses fewer resources than Webalizer, which is another important factor in my conclusion.
