"This has been the best experience I've had dealing with a commercial software company. I tried working with another major metrics product before I discovered Scitool's Understand and I can't believe the difference in the level of support -- and the other product was $15K!... I have recommended Understand for the products I support wherever I work. Scitools products deliver great value-for-dollar. Thank you Scitools team!"
