Effectiveness
In a word – unbelievably

Ease of Use
Much more user-friendly than it’s leading competitor – Evidence Eliminator. This is like the non-techie equivalent, with only slightly less power and versatility in exchange for it being a heck of a lot easier to drive.
The interface is clean and clear, with big buttons and wizards to help.
I t’s more comparable to navigating a simple website (like PayPal) than navigating, say, your Windows Registry. |

Though it’s only free for a year, it is by phone and online chat and not just query ticket, so at least its quality support
Excellent help documentation and user guides |
