I've had so much trouble with LiveStats 5 & 6 that I'd never again consider another DeepMetrix product or service. With LiveStats 5 it was constant database (proprietary) corruption, forcing me to reinstall and reimport, ad nauseam. With LiveStats 6 it just decides not to import logs for several days at a time. Whether it's unable to read the logs, or it can't communicate with the MySQL database where it keeps data, I can never tell. Once again, I end up wiping the database and reimporting logs about every two months or so.
I'm going to take a look at SmarterStats. However, this little tidbit in their knowledge base has me thinking twice about how bright the developers might be. It involves running the service under a user account so that logs on network shares can be read: > Click on the "This account" radio button and enter a domain > level username and password.
