It offers a wide range of options, including the ability to completely customise the reported statistics, as well as exporting charts and data to different formats. The site is available in French however the language can easily change to English.

Naturally, any tool can only get these stats for as long as 15 minutes, but the creators are well aware of this fact, and they will not cause you to be in trouble with Google due to this.
