How we tested

Each product was installed onto a Windows 2000 Advanced Server system. Due to the time and level of detail required to build up an accurate and reliable table, we did not attempt to formally test the accuracy of these products. In testing the Lab has done for other clients, we have found all the systems in this review to be sufficiently accurate for business purposes. Consideration was given to the installation and more importantly the configuration and ongoing administration of the applications themselves.

Test bench

Interoperability
To what level of granularity can administrators filter for different users, and how easy is it to do?

Futureproofing
Does the package have advanced features such as allowing different types of access at different times?

ROI
What will the software cost and will this be compensated by the time and resources saved?

Service
What support is standard and how much will support contracts cost?
