Does anyone have any recommendations for a Website analytics and usage tracking applications?
Ideally I would like to use Google Analytics but unfortunately the site(s) i’m working on are intranets. Thanks for the help!

It seems like you might be able to use Google Analytics on your intranet:

I don’t have any suggestions, but I’d like to add that I think a stats library would be a great addition to CI. There’s hardly a site that doesn’t need this functionality.

I would suggest PiWik (piwik.org).
It’s an open source analytics application that can be installed locally on your intranet.

Have you tried using getclicky ?
It also offers free analytics and it is far much better than Google analytics.

I think they also have some video tutorials on how to install this. Although it doesn’t show clicks on the page such as heatmaps and page stats.

How about those other free stat counters like statcounter or something else??

I currently use Statcounter, but there are a couple of issues:
1) Statcounter can be slow, and seems to at times hold up the page from completely loading.
2) I’m not sure about the pay version, but loading the Statcounter JS from HTTPS will give the annoying insecure items warning.
Really, if it weren’t for those two things, I’d be perfectly happy with Statcounter. Statcounter actually gives me more than I need, but it could be better.
