Webalizer isn't really actively developed anymore for a long time now.

Logstash and Kibana (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) are general log
analyzing solutions which makes them flexible but also means they are
not good for access log analysis unless you want to invest a lot of work
into configuring them for this use-case.

My recommendation if you want to rely purely on log file analysis would
be AWStats which is basically a better version of Webalizer:
http://www.awstats.org/

The other way is to use Piwik: http://piwik.org/what-is-piwik/
This approach doesn't analyze your log files but instead requires you to
insert tags into your web pages and works very much like Google Analytics.
