Urchin intentionally does not overwhelm you with marginally useful information, gratuitous 3-D charts and graphs, and excessive choices. Its purpose is to distill raw web server log files into succinct yet thorough reports for website owners, and to aggregate server-wide data to aid network planning for the hosting organization itself. Urchin does not collect personal data, email addresses, credit card numbers, private information or any details about individual users to a website. Urchin was designed to produce highly detailed demographic and statistical data about site visitors, without violating anyone's privacy. Reporting capabilities meet the most advanced needs, but are simple enough for the novice.
Reports are viewable in numerous languages, including double-byte Asian languages.
Reporting engine is low on network overhead and reports are fast to load, with no gratuitous 3-D graphics. Built-in help text with links to more detailed descriptions increases comprehension. Export Data feature allows you to export any report in tab-separated format for use in database and spreadsheet applications for further analysis. Superior speed and efficiency. Supports heterogeneous networks.
