User Reviews

This product maybe useful for individuals, but it's ludicrously inefficient as a corporate tool. Aside from not having support for IE, it's very slow, you can't copy sections of like projects that you wish to re-use, and it doesn't save automatically even when you move between levels within a project. Although it promises a lot, and conceptually at least it has some good ideas, in our opinion it's not really fit for purpose.
