Sane Solutions Releases NetTracker Lite - a ''Freeware'' Version of Their NetTracker Web Analytics Software

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 29, 2005--

New product provides advanced Web analytics to owners of small, low-traffic Web sites at no cost

“This allows us to offer such a powerful product for free. We are pleased to offer a quality alternative for small companies who can benefit from advanced Web analytics.”

Sane Solutions, developers of the NetTracker(R) line of Web analytics software, today announced the availability of NetTracker Lite. This "freeware" version of NetTracker provides owners of small and low-traffic Web sites with robust Web site traffic analysis software at no cost.

NetTracker Lite users can take advantage of many of the features found in commercial versions of the NetTracker line of Web analytics solutions, including advanced filtering and drill down capabilities, flexible reporting options including a calendar-based reporting interface, and the ability to share browser-based reports on the Web or export reports to software tools such as Excel and Word.

"We realize that there are many Web site administrators who do not have the resources to purchase a commercial Web analytics solution. NetTracker Lite provides these users with a powerful (and free) alternative to entry-level Web site traffic analysis software," stated Jim Rose, CEO of Sane Solutions.

In the past, the entry-level and freeware Web site traffic analysis markets consisted of basic 'hit-counters', aptly named for what they do - count hits. NetTracker Lite goes beyond counting hits and provides more meaningful, market standard measurements such as the number of visits, visitors, and page views.

While new software companies often offer freeware versions of their software when they are just getting started in order to quickly gain market share, this offering is unique in that the NetTracker line of commercial Web analytics solutions have been on the market for over eight years and are used by over 10,000 customers world-wide.

"NetTracker Lite borrows much of its measurement and analysis technology from our market-tested NetTracker line of commercial Web analytics solutions," remarked Frank Faubert, Sane Solutions' CTO. "This allows us to offer such a powerful product for free. We are pleased to offer a quality alternative for small companies who can benefit from advanced Web analytics."

NetTracker Lite supports Windows, Mac, Linux, and FreeBSD platforms, and can be downloaded for free at http://www.nettrackerlite.com. Additional information about NetTracker Lite is also available at this Web site.
