Said,

I see this as an alternative to Google Analytics with the main advantage being that you are able to keep your data in-house. The main disadvantage is that is necessary to manually download and store the log files.

I have tested it with a software called mach5. It gives lots of details about:
 
Referring Domains, pages (and individual pages), search engine words and phrases, 404 errors, query strings, hits per day and per week, least requested and least populars, most requested and most populars, etc.
 
http://www.mach5.com/ 
 Still, what we make out of all this? Any plans, ideas?
 
Thanks,
