Product Description:

Sawmill is a powerful, hierarchical log analysis tool for Windows 95/NT, MacOS, and UNIX. It is particularly well suited to web server access and referrer logs, but can process almost any log. It runs either with a built-in web server, or as a CGI program on your web server, and publishes an intuitive graphical user interface which can be used from any web browser to configure and run Sawmill, or to view the statistics pages. The statistics pages are hierarchical, attractive, and heavily crosslinked for easy navigation. Complete documentation is built directly into the program. Sawmill provides an extensive set of features, including a persistent database, fine control over the appearance of stats pages, and versatile log filtering options.

Bonkers pricing structure - Version: 7.2.8, 8/8/2006 04:39AM PST

So I go to the developer's website and they have the most ridiculous pricing structure which starts at £64 for one profile (what's a profile?) and goes up to £11,000.

Then I notice that you can earn credits towards a licence by testing the application and sending reports to the developer for thngs that don't work.

Why on Earth would I want to pay huge amounts of money for something that is:

a) being tested by amateurs
b) Still being tested!

Sawmill, you're having a laugh!

Excellent server log application for Mac. I've tried several (in fact all available) for Mac and found this nearly as good as Urchin, which is prohibitively expensive for non-commercial users. The only pick I have is that the DNS lookup could be better--often it returns only the IP of the visitor and not the DNS name, although the name is found easily on Whois. Very stable, great documentation, frequent updates Highly recommended.

Stick with 6.5 - Version: 7.0.7, 10/12/2004 05:24AM PST

I foolishly upgraded to v7. It is more difficult and less intuitiuve to set up. I would suggest sticking with older version. My ratings are for new version the older is a 5* product.
