Why should I get Urchin when Google Analytics is free?

There are some distinct features of Urchin that Google Analytics simply isn't capable of. For example:

• Local Data Storage: Google Analytics keeps your data on their servers - and may keep your data long after you cancel your Analytics account. With Alentus-hosted Urchin, when you cancel your site and statistics, your statistics are removed from our servers
  
  
• Analysis of Intranet/Extranet Sites: Urchin has the ability to maintain statistics for intranet/extranet sites that are protected by passwords. Google Analytics is designed to work with public facing websites only.
  
  
• Reports on Robot/Spider Activity: Urchin is able to filter out the traffic from webbots and search engine robots crawling your site, leaving you with real traffic statistics insight.
  
  
• Analysing user sessions & navigation paths: Follow complete navigation paths of your visitors: where they enter, what pages they visit, and what page they exit on.
  
  
• Reports on server errors & status codes: Discover what server errors are being displayed to your visitors and determine where to fix issues on your site.
  
  
• Renewed processing of old log files: Urchin can dive back into existing log files and evaluate statistics based on new filter settings or calculations

There is also a school of thought to run both Urchin and Google Analytics on your sites. Having multiple analytic software analysing site traffic can provide additional insight that one software program is unable to provide.
