Analog: The most popular logfile analyser in the world

There isn't much data on which is the most widely-used logfile analyser. Computing magazines' surveys usually only ask about commercial packages. The only survey which has ever asked about all the main packages by name is GVU's user survey, which consistently ranked analog number one.

In the most recent survey, they interviewed 434 webmasters in October & November 1998 and found that 24.9% used analog. The next most popular program was used by 20.3% of webmasters. Counting only webmasters who used any logfile analyser, analog's figure rises to over 29%.

Note: The graphs for this question were never made. The figures are obtained from the detailed datasets. The data are copyright Georgia Tech Research Corporation.
