I use Urchin (but not google analytics), for University websites because Urchin follows the U Online Privacy policy, and according to policy, we'd have to write a customized privacy statement in order to use google analytics. That being said, most of the time Urchin offers the historical reports I want..... But the filtering ability is annoying - I have to contact OIT to set up filters. On sawmill (which was too slow), there was much more ability to customize reports.
