While the reporting is pretty comprehensive, if you intend anyone other than yourself to view these reports(i.e. clients), then Summary leads the pack in terms of downright ugly!

FunnelWeb Analyser, recently released as freeware by its makers (Quest: http://www.quest.com/funnel_web_analyzer/ ) is a pro level app, that can be run happily from the CLI, or via a GUI and produces an incredible array of highly customisable reports in HTML or PDF format.

They are also of a quality that clients would leave on their coffee tables, they look so damn good!

Not bad for free!

Not as good as FunnelWeb - Boredflak

Note that FunnelWeb doesn't have any GUI. It's all done via the command line. That means clients won't be generating any custom reports by themselves.

FunnelWeb must also process EVERY log file EVERY time it's run. This can become very time consuming and processor intensive.
