Personal Background: Eric Pratsch is a 4th year Systems and Information Engineer at the University of Virginia. He is working on his final undergraduate Capstone Project with 4 other Systems Engineers.

Alex Taylor: What challenges made you search for the software of this kind?

Eric Pratsch: Our capstone project is focused on determining behavioral profiles in a cyber environment. This is aimed at being applied towards cyber security. Our hypothesis is that an individual is unique and creates a pattern of decisions when navigating through cyber space. This pattern can be found through inverse reinforcement learning and behavioral cloning. Since our team does not have the resources available to have our own network, we decided to track a person’s movement through a shopping environment. All buttons clicked, words typed, and screenshots need to be recorded to have an accurate description of their behavioral patterns. With enough subjects we can also break down demographics to determine whether, for example males tend to exhibit behavior X more than females.

Alex Taylor: How did you get to know about Powered Keylogger by Eltima Software?

Eric Pratsch: I took a certification course called Certified Ethical Hacker when I interned for Booz Allen Hamilton last summer as a part of their cyber security cohort. Keyloggers and specifically, the Powered Keylogger was described in the course.

Alex Taylor: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing Eltima solution? Why did you prefer our product?

Eric Pratsch: I did not demo other Keyloggers, I based my choice on the functions and screenshots provided in the Certified Ethical Hacker textbook.

Alex Taylor: Please, describe how you are using our product now.

Eric Pratsch: Before the trial ran out, we were keeping a log of every website, word typed, and general screenshots during testing of subjects in our shopping environment experiment. This data was then broken down in to categories of behaviors.

Alex Taylor: How did you benefit from using Eltima solution?

Eric Pratsch: The benefits of the Powered Keylogger involved accurate time stamps and the back-up ability (export data) to keep accurate records of our testing scenarios. This is essential to our project based, since our initial method was manually writing down the decisions the subject made.

They do professional CD covers, DVD cases, Posters, Book Covers, Websites and any other marketing material for those who need it and for HALF the price!

Alex Taylor: What challenges made you search for the software of this kind?

Andrew W. Zehner: One of the services we provide is for those unlucky web masters or site owners that had the unfortunate experience of a local system crash. Loosing everything is bad enough but then realizing you cannot edit your flash banners, animations, or buttons later on soon tops the scale of disaster evils when one realizes the price tag of having a professional recreate the once easy to edit material. I used to provide those heavy numbers to potential clients which were usually followed by a heavy sigh on the other end of the phone. There HAD to be something better! That’s where Eltima’s fine program comes in. With Flash Decompiler Trillix, time gets cut in half and likewise that heavy sigh transforms into a sigh of relief. How it works is simple, by retrieving the files from the internet servers and decompiling them, we can then get a file that can be saved and edited like normal. If I were to come up with a tag line for this software it would be somewhere along the lines of – It’s like magic! – and I stand by that.

Alex Taylor: How did you get to know about Flash Decompiler by Eltima Software?

Andrew W. Zehner: I knew there had to be something better than recreating or just paying for a new file. One slow morning I was determined to find the answer. I put on my wet suit, grabbed my virtual surf board and prepared for a long day of surfing to find a solution. Little did I know that my day at “GOOGLE beach” would be cut short. I found Eltima and plenty of information regarding Flash Decompiler Trillix. After downloading the trial I knew I found what I was looking for.

Alex Taylor: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing Eltima solution? Why did you prefer our product?

Andrew W. Zehner: There were several other programs that claimed the same type of results but no proof, no trials, and plenty of negative reviews to steer me away.

Alex Taylor: Please, describe how you are using our product now.

Andrew W. Zehner: There is only one way to use this excellent piece of programming and that is EASILY. With a few clicks I can load a flash file that is missing the original working file, decompile it, then save it to a new native file that can be opened and edited in Flash. I can then make changes, republish, and relax knowing that all the original fine points were not overlooked.

Alex Taylor: How did you benefit from using Eltima solution?

Andrew W. Zehner: Flash Decompiler Trillix, gave me piece of mind and more time to spend on other designs. Like many others, we had a severe crash awhile back and most of our original flash save files were lost. We couldn’t just buy them again as I created them, I couldn’t pull from the back up as it, likewise, was nowhere to be located. Then bursting on the computer screen like some sort of flash super hero was Eltima and their Flash Decompiler Trillix. And yes, they did save the day!

Company Information: The G.H. Antrim School in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, is embarking on a very ambitious 1 to 1 technology program. This means that every student will be issued an apple Macbook computer that they will use 24/7 to help them achieve their educational goals.

Victoria Veligodsky: Victoria Veligodsky: What challenges made you search for the software of this kind?

Steve Ruddy: We are gearing up to roll out our 1 to 1 technology program and our big kick off involves sessions with parents as well as our students. We have developed an educational presentation for the parents that will help them to understand the importance of what we are doing and how it will prepare their children to enter the modern work force. Part of this presentation is in the form of an FLV movie and we are using your software to play the piece.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about SWF & FLV Player for Mac by Eltima Software?

Steve Ruddy: By searching Google for FLV players for the Mac platform I became familiar with the SWF & FLV Player for Mac created by Eltima Software. The fact that it was endorsed on the official Apple computers site gave me confidence in its quality and reliability.

I also noticed that many of the other Google results were to different sites all highlighting the Eltima FLV player as the solution to my problem.

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing Eltima solution? Why did you prefer our product?

Steve Ruddy: I tried out the other FLV player for Mac. I felt the overall your SWF & FLV Player was more polished and had a better interface than the other one. I also thought that the full set of features, especially Full Screen mode made Eltima stand out amongst the competition.

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using our product now.

Steve Ruddy: We are using your product to play an FLV movie in our presentation to parents as we roll out our 1 to 1 laptop program here at Antrim Elementary. The film we are showing is titled “Did You Know 2.0″ and created by Xplane, a noted information design company. The clip is very compelling and we hope that it inspires our parents to see this program as something that will prepare their children to take part in the workplace of the future.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using Eltima solution?

Steve Ruddy: By using the Eltima’s SWF & FLV Player to play what we feel is a very important part of our presentation we will benefit by having the source media and player right on the desktop instead of having to rely on a live Internet connection for the presentation.

This presentation must go very smoothly and when using a live Internet connection there are too many factors outside of our control that can affect playback. Using the Eltima SWF & FLV Player will guarantee that our presentation is a success.

Victoria Veligodsky: What challenges made you search for this kind of software?

Tausif Nizam: I was actually working on my study project dealing with Italian Restaurants in US. I just did a small research in Google for restaurants in Los Angeles and found a video which I wanted to add to my assignment. If I could add it, it would fetch me good scores. I tried a few times and failed to do so with other software tools available for free.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about this SWF & FLV Player by Eltima Software?

Tausif Nizam: I have tried almost all the search engines available but only Google helped me reach SWF & FLV Player for Mac by Eltima.

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing Eltima solution? Why did you prefer our product?

Tausif Nizam: Yes, I have a good experiencing of trying numerous other products but they all failed to work for me. Every software tool that I downloaded for free had almost everything, but would fail in one way or another. Your SWF & FLV Player was so smooth and easy to use, kind of user friendly and very easy to handle and work with. I loved working with your product.

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using our product now.

Tausif Nizam: I am using SWF & FLV Player to watch downloaded FLV and SWF movies and I also create different playlists with movies divided thematically.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using Eltima solution?

Tausif Nizam: I have benefitted a lot, as the video integrated into the project gets me more scores. This would ultimately help me get a good percentile and a cutting edge above other students. I must say, I have done an intensive research on the various software titles available in the market but I must say- nothing can beat Eltima.

Victoria Veligodsky: What challenges have driven you to search for this kind of software?

Ing.Degni Fabrizio: I was looking for a trustable as well as complete sync solution between Mac and Windows Mobile phones. I was looking for the MS’ ActiveSync replacement on Mac site and I found SyncMate, the real and only alternative. I tried several commercial solutions, but yours is absolutely the best!

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about SyncMate by Eltima Software?

Ing.Degni Fabrizio: I read about Syncmate on Macrumors, on its forum. The reviews were very positive, so I was almost sure this software is going to be great!

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing Eltima solution? Why did you prefer our product?

Ing.Degni Fabrizio: Yes, freeware and shareware ones. I loved your tool because it is fully WM 6.1 compatible and highly configurable. SyncMate is a Mac tool, made for Mac users for WM devices not the opposite.

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using SyncMate now.

Ing.Degni Fabrizio: Now I am using your software to supply a basic WM integration on any Mac on my store and I am giving all the details on the final users to upgrade it to the full version for the best experience. Many users are bored about the big sync issues between the two platforms but now they know how to fix that thanks to SyncMate.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using our solution?

Ing.Degni Fabrizio: I can sell many Macs powered by Leopard (iMac over all) also to users with Windows Mobile devices. HTC is our first brand for WM platform and now we are glad to ship these phones to Mac users also.

Personal Background: Roland Chiu is an Assistant Professor of Toxicology at the University of Maastricht. Founded in 1976, it is the second youngest university in the Netherlands, and consistently ranks among the top universities in The Netherlands in terms of education.

Victoria Veligodsky: What challenges made you search for this kind of software?

Roland Chiu: I have a Windows Mobile 6 device which I previously synced with my Windows XP computer. I recently switched to a MacBook Pro and still wanted to use my calendar and list contacts. Though I didn’t realize Activesync doesn’t work on a Mac! Thought I’d have to buy a new phone/PDA.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about SyncMate by Eltima Software?

Roland Chiu: So when I got my new MacBook Pro and realized that my PDA won’t sync anymore. I search online for Windows Mobile to Mac syncing applications.

I came across several applications. Most of them were pay ones. However, I quickly found SyncMate and surprisingly, it was free of charge.

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing Eltima solution? Why did you prefer our product?

Roland Chiu: I tried out several applications that I found online. I had the trial versions of your competitors. OHHHH what a disaster! Not only did they not work, but they were terrible to remove! And absolutely not user-friendly! However, your SyncMate was terrific! It was fairly easy to install and was quite user-friendly, though I am new to Mac.

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using our product now.

Roland Chiu: I am currently using SyncMate to synchronize my calendar and contacts on my MacBook Pro using Entourage. Unfortunately this wasn’t an easy task as you need to sync via iCal and the Mac address book. But now I can enter new agenda points on my server and have it show up on my PDA.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using SyncMate solution?

Roland Chiu: Maybe it’s because I’m new to a Mac, but this entire process hasn’t been particularly easy. Luckily, the help support at Eltima were very useful. Two correspondences with them and I was up and running. Thank you guys for such a great product and outstanding service!

Personal Background: In the past Björn König has studied media technologies. Right now Björn is working as an engineer for one of Germany’s biggest broadcast companies.

Victoria Veligodsky: What challenges made you search for this kind of software?

Björn König: I was in search for a software syncing Apple’s Address Book and iCal with my WM6 mobile phone (Asus P750). There are not many solutions available and SyncMate was and is free to use. That was a huge plus. So I gave it a try.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about SyncMate by Eltima Software?

Björn König: After searching the Internet for quite a while I came across several hints in forums and webpages. I took some time until I found your SyncMate. I’m not sure but I think I also read about SyncMate in my favorite computer magazine.

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing SyncMate? Why did you prefer our product?

Björn König: Yes, I have tried several other methods of syncing my mobile phone. One synchronization tool I found did not work out for me. It was not able to exchange data with my Mac. Also Active Sync for Windows caused more trouble than actually doing its job. So I tried some beta versions and release candidates of SyncMate and it worked perfectly for me.

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using our product now.

Björn König: Right now I only use the basic features for syncing the calendar and Address Book. But as a beta tester I also checked out the expert functions which are pretty cool, too. They save some time exchanging data needed on my mobile phone. I also like SyncMate’s ability to synchronize notes and share Internet.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using SyncMate?

Björn König: Eltima’s SyncMate is an easy to use tool that gives me the capability to sync my calendar and address data between a Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 device and an Apple Mac OS X 10.5 computer, a feature that Apple probably will never implement.

Personal Background: Dinesh Lincoln is a high school student in Japan. He is a very busy person involved in numerous activities and now he is trying to organize his life with my Windows Mobile smartphone and MacBook.

Victoria Veligodsky: What challenges made you search for this kind of software?

Dinesh Lincoln: The main challenge was the compatibility. I tried BootCamp and using Vista, but that was just too inconvenient. This was the best software that I found that is most compatible with my smartphone. I was also a recent Mac Switcher, so not knowing what software was available made it difficult for me to sync my phone.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about SyncMate?

Dinesh Lincoln: After a day of searching, I came across this product at a weblog, DownloadSquad. They mentioned that there were other products, but I felt that this new upcoming product name SyncMate might have some hope. It certainly did.

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing Eltima solution? Why did you prefer our product?

Dinesh Lincoln: The only product that I have tried is ActiveSync on Windows XP as well as Windows Mobile Device Manager on Vista via BootCamp. Both of them worked fine, but having to boot into another OS just to sync my device is totally ridiculous. SyncMate solved this problem!

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using our product now.

Dinesh Lincoln: Right now I’m using SyncMate in order to sync my calendar and task items with my Mac. Every day in school I receive more deadlines, and SyncMate helps me keep track of them at home without having to take my phone out. I also use SyncMate to keep track of Contact items.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using SyncMate?

Dinesh Lincoln: This definitely helped me organize my new MacBook. It also saved me the hassle of using a USB based hard drive or email just to transfer my Address Book and Calendar from my Windows PC to my Mac. It’s very easy to use and it gets the job done!

Personal Background: Biejan Poor is a 19 year old student from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Victoria Veligodsky: What challenges made you search for this kind of software?

Biejan Poor: I have been using Mac OSX for about half a year now, and while I love the ease and user-friendliness of the operating system, it does present a problem when having a Windows Mobile based smartphone.

While OSX supports numerous phones through iSync, Windows Mobile devices are not part of them. Because of this issue I began my search for a piece of software that would allow me to synchronize my phone with my Macbook.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about SyncMate?

Biejan Poor: I was actually using another piece of software to synchronize my HTC s710 with my Macbook. This software, however, kept giving me headaches because of incorrect syncing of calendar with iCal. Eventually fed up with the problem it was causing I started browsing the web for another solution. Fortunately Google provided me with a link to SyncMate page and the rest is history.

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing Eltima solution? Why did you prefer our product?

Biejan Poor: I have used another piece of software before trying out SyncMate. As mentioned before this product did not work properly. SyncMate, on the other hand, works exactly the way I want it to and since I got it I have never looked back!

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using our product now.

Biejan Poor: As a student I have very busy schedules for both classes as well as my part-time job. And while I have a laptop, it’s not always possible to carry it around with me.

Using my cellphone as an organizer is then very beneficial because it allows me to record my contacts, appointments and notes so I can download them on my computer back at home.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using SyncMate?

Biejan Poor: As I have explained, my smartphone is very important to me. I can schedule all my assignments, exams and appointments I have. I use it as my address book, to take notes and as a media player on the go.

Then when I get home it takes me just moments to synchronize everything that I added to my phone that day with my laptop with all my other stuff.

Personal Background: Patrick Weisser is a working as a instructor in a communication company in Germany. His tasks are to educate trainees in the world of IT. In the company they are using Windows, Apple and Linux to learn something about the Operating Systems.

Victoria Veligodsky: What challenges have driven you to search for a software of this kind?

Patrick Weisser: I switched my PC to an Apple MacBook Pro to learn something about OSX. I’m using a Pocket-PC-Phone at work and at home and I needed a program to synchronize my contacts and calendar data between my Office-Windows-PC and my home Apple MacBook Pro.

I know about Active-Sync from Microsoft, but there is no version available for Apple-PCs. So I searched for a product which would make this possible.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about SyncMate?

Patrick Weisser: I heard about SyncMate at an apple-community-board. At this time SyncMate had been in a beta version and I decided to try this out.

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing Eltima solution? Why did you prefer our product?

Patrick Weisser: I heard about one software product, but it won’t run, because I’m using a Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PC which won’t work with this synchronization tool. And your SyncMate works perfectly well with my Windows Mobile 6 phone.

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using our product now.

Patrick Weisser: Now I’m using SyncMate with my MDA-Compact 3 (HTC Artemis) to sync data between my office-pc and my private Apple MacBook Pro.

This works without any problems, SyncMate is much better solution than all the rest, because you have more options offered and it is very comfortable in use.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using SyncMate solution?

Patrick Weisser: SyncMate is the software which realizes the possibility to transport the data from the Pocket-PC to the Mac or backwards. Without your great product I wouldn’t be able to synchronize everything I needed to. SyncMate is the best assistance for me.

Personal Background: Lynda Pearson works as a manager for Gosford Hospital in Sydney, Australia. They run a hospital pharmacy department and use PDAs on the wards to maintain records and up-load reference material.

Victoria Veligodsky: What challenges made you search for the software of this kind?

Lynda Pearson: We run both PCs and Macs in our offices. We feel the real need to be able to synchronize our pocket PCs and PDAs into both systems. We wanted to use our PDAs more than frequently, so we needed and extra-reliable software.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about SyncMate?

Lynda Pearson: I always use Google if I need to find something on the Internet. This time I also used Google, and it led me to all the blogs where SyncMate was discussed. I read reviews and decided to go on with your product, as it seemed reliable, though with a lot of functions.

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing Eltima solution? Why did you prefer our product?

Lynda Pearson: Yes, we have tried one synchronization solution, but it was notoriously un-reliable. After that the only software we tried was SyncMate, and it worked great for us!

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using our product now.

Lynda Pearson: Currently I am using the free version, mainly to sync in with iCal (we also sync in via active sync with outlook and novell groupwise calendars).

We are interested in using the expert version to allow us to sync in files and tasks as well as contacts/appointments. As you understand, such things are important for our work.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using SyncMate by Eltima?

Lynda Pearson: We are still exploring new ways how we can best use Syncmate – so far it has been a reliable way to allow access between pocket PCs (hp ipaq rx4500 windows mobile 5) and Macs. With the expert version we should be able to further extend our use of SyncMate to include file transfer between wards and pharmacy.

Background Information: Hyunsung John Kim is a student of University of California, Santa Cruz. He is in his final year of studying Bioinformatics.

Victoria Veligodsky: What challenges have driven you to search this kind of software?

Hyunsung John Kim: Windows Mobile, for obvious reasons, lacks syncing software on Macs. I first started using one well-known synchronization tool, but was slightly disappointed with problematic syncing, frequent disconnects and high cost.

While browsing various forums, looking for solutions to my problems with this sync tool, I came across SyncMate which is offered for free for basic utility. As I am using it to only to sync my calendar, contacts and tasks, I thought that it would be suitable for my needs.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about SyncMate by Eltima Software?

Hyunsung John Kim: I found out about SyncMate via some online forums whilst looking for solutions to an alternative product.

After a quick google search, I found a bunch of blogs that mentioned SyncMate was in Beta and was a free syncing method for Macs. Free is much better than not free, so I decided to download it and take a look.

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing our solution? Why did you prefer SyncMate to others?

Hyunsung John Kim: I did try one synchronization software before downloading and trying SyncMate. It is the most popular solution to syncing windows mobile phones on a Mac machine.

The high cost was restrictive and many of the features I would be paying for were unnecessary to me. SyncMate proved to be the lightweight syncing program that I needed, at a very attractive price point (free).

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using our product now.

Hyunsung John Kim: I am simply using SyncMate to sync my calendar appointments and my contacts to my Mac. I then use Plaxo to sync my calendar appointments to my google calendar, which is used by my research group to plan meetings and to find conflicting times. I think your product lacks todo task syncing, which I thought was very basic and necessary functionality. I hope that it will come in the future.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using SyncMate?

Hyunsung John Kim: Not having to pay $40.00 for basic functionality was more than enough incentive to give SyncMate a try. It is very simple to use and seems to crash less often than other synchronization software I used. Free is the perfect price point for me.

Personal Background: Jim Bowyer is a financial planner for one organization located in Florida, USA.

Victoria Veligodsky: What challenges made you search for this kind of software?

Jim Bowyer: I needed a synchronization software for Mac that would work with my pocket PC. I am using some applications only available for pocket PC, therefore I have to stick with this platform. I need to sync all my contacts and eventually files and notes.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about SyncMate by Eltima Software?

Jim Bowyer: I googled to find reviews on sync software for Mac. I found some reviews that were recommending SyncMate as a reliable alternative to any synchronization application out there. After reading about it, the choice was just easy to make.

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing Eltima solution? Why did you prefer our product?

Jim Bowyer: I actually did not. The reason for this is, that SyncMate works really well with a pocket PC. The setup was very easy and the synchronization of my contacts happened in a breeze. SyncMate’s ability to synchronize so many different things such as notes and files was a huge plus.

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using SyncMate for now.

Jim Bowyer: Since I spend a lot of time on the road and don’t want to carry a laptop, I just use my pocket PC to enter appointments and various information about customers. As soon as I get back in the office, I sync my PDA with my desktop for backup and just to have the same data on my desktop, too.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using SyncMate by Eltima?

Jim Bowyer: It has saved me a lot of time, not having to enter data twice or having twice the same information. SyncMate is very reliable and so far I have not suffered any data loss or problem synchronizing between my PDA and desktop computer.

Personal Background: Sebastian van Wickern is a student who makes straight As right now. Today, he studies in Borken, Germany. After he finishes his studies in Borken, Sebastian will be studying Computer Science in Aachen, Germany.

Victoria Veligodsky: What challenges made you search for this kind of software?

Sebastian van Wickern: I bought an HTC Touch a few months ago. When I decided to buy a Mac the availability of such software as SyncMate was a serious reason to buy a Mac. When I heard about the new wireless feature I was a little impressed, because even the software supposed to sync my Windows Mobile 6 device was not able to do that.

Another reason why I was not satisfied with the synchronization tool from Microsoft, because I had to use Outlook, and I didn’t want to buy an expensive Outlook license.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about SyncMate?

Sebastian van Wickern: Well, I was searching the web for an application which would satisfy my need for synchronization of my Windows Mobile 6 device and my Mac. I found SyncMate, which was running without making any problems… Well and that was exactly what I was looking for.

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing SyncMate? Why did you prefer our product?

Sebastian van Wickern: I tried SyncMate because there was a usable trial version and I think it is very important to try using a product before having to spend money on it. This made the difference to other tools I looked for.

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using SyncMate now.

Sebastian van Wickern: Well, I keep my iCal calendar and my Address book in sync by using the wireless feature. I use this feature quite frequently, so that I don’t have to worry about forgetting about any meeting. It’s also very nice to add detail to my dates on the computer which has a way more usable keyboard than my mobile device.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using Eltima solution?

Sebastian van Wickern: As I mentioned above, I synchronize my phone and my Mac more than daily, I got a lot of responsibilities, like tennis practice, tennis matches, open source projects, my friends and finally my studies.

Everything mentioned, plus tons of other things adds up quite an amount of meetings and dates, which I could not remember even if I wanted to. And I don’t have to anymore, because wherever I am, my Calendar is in sync.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did get to know about SyncMate by Eltima Software?

Francesco Cipollone: When I bought my very first Mac in December 2007, I was on the constant look out for information on the internet that could make me switch from my old PC as seamlessly as possible.

My HTC P3300 is my trusty companion. I quickly learnt about SyncMate beta version (when it was only a beta version) at Eltima Software corporate blog.

Victoria Veligodsky: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing our synchronization tool? What made your crucial decision?

Francesco Cipollone: There are not so many solutions for this kind of application. I was very impressed with the quality and informational value of Eltima corporate blog, and I was confident in the quality of beta releases which showed good promise. I’ve been following your software ever since.

Victoria Veligodsky: Please, describe how you are using our product now.

Francesco Cipollone: I use SyncMate several times every day. I find that its strength is what gives me peace of mind. ‘Set it and forget it’. Or in this case, plug it and forget it, as I use it more via the USB port at the moment.

Victoria Veligodsky: How did you benefit from using SyncMate?

Francesco Cipollone: The solution that Eltima gives is a high quality, professional software. This could also be seen in the way the Blog was run. Thank your administrators and all the guys who keep track of it.

I appreciate your business approach to offer the software free in return for maximun valuable user feedback. Thank you Eltima for such an exceptional software.
