Hello Soylentils. I work in the IT Department of a mid sized utility company. Our engineering department requested that we use Google Analytics to track how people are hitting certain pages, from where, and whether or not they are getting to pages from links on our website or directly. A co worker found that Google Analytics can get expensive. Does anyone have any experience with any FOSS alternatives such as the ones listed in the article below?

Just hook it up to apache or nginix logs and get nice reports that google can't get. Like 404 errors and file downloads.
Or set up a analytics server and use the client side javascript bug.
Piwiki even has an android app for viewing reports.
