astatsPRO gives you most statistics you would get from cPanel's Awstats and similar and presents the data in a decent way. User agent, OS, Referrer, uniques, page impressions etc.
It also tells you the top items from the above.
No insert of code into the template is required, just install the module and publish it somewhere, it can be configured to be invisible. With defining on which pages to use the module you can even exclude a part of you site. Very nice job.
But to the shortcomings: At the stats, it doesn't display your pages' SEF links, only the index.php?option= etc version. So you have a hard time finding out which page they're talking about.
JavaScript support and resolution only works if you hack the components config file. When doing I saw that this file doesn't use the "if valid_MOS isn't defined die" thing and it can't access the Joomla environment vars like mosConfig_absolute_path.
The country locator isn't exact, it only seems to check the language info from the user agent string. So if someone uses an US/EN version of a browser (most people not having a localized version for their language might do so) astats sees him as vistor from America. Many people get the Australian version too, so don't wonder if lots of your visitors are from America or Australia like I wondered.
Those rather minor issues set aside, this extension is really recommendable and makes checking traffic stats a pretty pleasant thing (as long as you like the data).
