From an ecommerce and marketing standpoint, the free version actually has more bells and whistles. But there's also an inherent conflict of interest with Google having access to our site's traffic activity (particularly since our clients do a lot of advertising on other non-Google sites) so that's the reason we bought our own version of the software rather than having them host it.
Other than that though (and the fact that it can be really REALLY slow at times) it's a nice free service.
Microsoft is also rumored to be close to launching their own free analytics service. If it's based off the DeepMetrix platform (as seems to be the buzz) it could be a very nice service indeed. Urchin (which Google now uses) and DeepMetrix (which Microsoft might use) were two of our favorite solutions when we were shopping around for analytics.
