What differentiates ParaSolution from other similar products?

The customization options that are almost unlimited, perfect for tailoring to your organisation's exact need.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The live multi-lingual feature.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The automatic log-off feature ... its obviously great for security purposes, but it can also be a pain for system administrators, constantly using it while also having to perform other responsibilities ... I often end up connecting to the system at least 5 times a day. Considering how sensitive this information can be though, its probably a lesser pain ...

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Define your needs as precisely as possible, and push its design to the limit. This tool will be able to support it!
