I'll disagree on one thing: [quote] but if you actually get the one with the features you need, why pay an extra EUR 300? [/quote] Well, if you really get it, fine. But what about the long term and evolutions of the product? Macrobedia will be there in a few years. What about quality support? Huge companies allow customers to get immediate feedback to bug reports for instance. What about the learning/teaching costs? Captivate uses common GUI concepts that are familiar to Flash users. And finally, reliability. Third parties do not have the source code: they can reverse engineer at best, but while this process works, sometimes, it fails at spotting small/discreet flaws, which will impact your work when you're less expecting it. I guess your advice applies depending on the company size. Here in PMI, for instance, another factor which matters - a lot - is integration in the network. We don't want software to be spread if they are likely to cause bugs later on. Some softs stupidly remove too much info when uninstalled, or add useless info when installed, or alter this or that setting which will impact something else later on (example: when uninstalled, some softs remove many entries from the "PATH" environment variable, and can cause many administration scripts to lose track of the Windows folder location, making them crash). Here, where 42000 users worldwide share a given software pool, we just can't afford doubt: any soft is thoroughly tested inside the production environment before being approved, and each single license is controlled. Of course, my employer doesn't mind the price at all which also completely changes the selection. Loading...
