"Serious Web application developers know that it's
not enough to know that a site is being hit. They need to know exactly
how a site is being used and by whom -- in real time. To be really useful,
tracking software needs to capture who comes to a site, where they came
from, how they got to the site, and how they move through the site. Andromedia's
ARIA does all that in a simple, turnkey Web site tracking solution that
meets the needs of the most active 90 percent of Web sites, experiencing
about 150,000 hits per day. It's designed to scale as sites grow, and to
provide real time feedback from the convenience of a Web browser."

"ARIA Recorder Reporter proved to be an excellent
Web access analysis system that installed into our environment easily.
Its integrated ObjectStore database and automatic cleaning functions give
us a low maintenance turnkey system that provides useful information that
cannot be derived from the server log file contents."
-- Phil Hooper, Web Technical Support, Sun Microsystems
This product has great functionality. It has raised the
bar, and competitors will have to respond to stay competitive. Scalability
and the ability to offer real-time tracking, both of which this product
has, will rapidly become necessary features of any product in this category.
-- Ted Julian, analyst, International Data Corporation
"I was very impressed with the object-based architecture
and the use of a real-time monitoring and recording scheme versus traditional
system logs. What really sets ARIA part is its API, which allows for additional
applications pertinent to dynamic Website management. I also liked the
frames approach to the reporting module and that ARIA utilizes Web technology
to deliver the reports."
-- Mike Heylin, Senior Associate, Creative Strategies

Within days of installation, ARIA became a key business
tool for our Web site. The real power of ARIA is the ability to track individual
visits, instead of just hits. Its reports are very useful, and the browser-based
interface means anyone in my organization can check on the status of the
site. We're addicted to ARIA, and can't live without it!
