Awstats is a great tool to check site visitors at the server level. The dashboard is way simpler than Google Analytics, and if you are confused about what you see on Analytics, then use Awstats, as it gives a clearer perspective on your visitor data.
It also shows everything from bots and other crawlers, which is a good thing to check whether your site is bombarded by non human visits.
Anyways, we use Awstats primarily for comparing data from Google Analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It count unique visits after an hour, so expect to have more visitor data on Awstats than on Google Analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
