The answers I got were:
- Peter said that Patrol is difficult to configure and resource hungry.
They evaluated it and finally went to Ecotools.
Karen also suggested Ecotools.
- Bob said he is considering using it also.
- Jason suggested Landmark instead.
- Jay suggested swatch which is free
- Anchi said that he could not get anything from it, and that the
home made solutions are allways better.
>From all the answers, I've decided to try some purchased solutions
rather than a home made one.
We will evaluate Patrol and also the suggested Landmark and Ecotools.
In a few months if you are interested I can send you our conclusions.
Many thanks to:
Peter Tashkoff
Bob Shaw
Jay Stanley
Jason Noorman
