Cons

“None, all i am satidfied with, no further complain, i dont know what i dont like with this product.”

Mohd F.

programmer

“My support came about because I wanted to upgrade to AE 3.3.9 to 3.6. It was available on your site to download for Solaris, but it failed to work.”

Niall O.

Director

“Poor product design to have so much data downloaded for even a minimal backup size. Also, the online interface can be buggy and tends to randomly quit from time to time.”
