Extensis Portfolio 7 for Win-Mac - Software Publisher's Description:
Extensis Portfolio 7 for Win/Mac review:2 stars (Endless headaches) - I've been trying to use Portfolio 7 for three months now to catalogue 3000 photos and create an online catalog. This product was recommended as the best application for what I wanted to do. I've used computers on a professional level for 12 years-I'm no greenhorn. Portfolio 7 has been a continuous nightmare. The manual is inadequate and incomplete. Tech Support was at first a 40 minute long distance hold and then friendly-but unhelpful-tech support. Then they wouldn't answer the phone at all. With e-mail support you'll get a get message acknowledging your query and then - nothing - Any useful tech support I received was from third parties.
Little and undocumented things like not clicking an obscure box buried deep in the menus would tie up my computer for hours busily creating catalogues that didn't exist or immediately crashed. Nothing about this was in the manual. I worked with an experienced Network Engineer and even he couldn't over come the endless pitfalls. Hours and hours wasted. One problem, I installed version 7.0.4 from the Extensis site purchased the CD from which we installed the server parts v7.0.0. They were completely incompatible. The read me documentation on the CD says that the CD contains version 1.2 . ???? And of course no where is there any indication that a minor version difference is a serious incompatibility problem. At best this is beta software masquerading as usable. Its not. I'm stuck with it-I hope you won't be.
