For companies that want detailed information about their Web site activity right now, Omnitures SiteCatalyst provides flexible, powerful analysis tools that give clients all the information they need about how visitors are using their site.

COST ANALYSIS

Like most other service providers, SiteCatalyst is very costly, with most sites probably paying more than $100,000 per year. Although these services are powerful, this is well out of the range of many companies.

(+) Excellent visitor site path analysis; reports can be viewed over time; real-time analysis.

(-) Very expensive; code must be inserted in every page on-site; may miss some file downloads.
