• Gary,

    From your comments, it seems that you had more problems installing, rather than, using the product.  In fact, it sounds like you never did use the product.  Please identify the particular features you found to be of issue besides the installation and the one that Paul identified (which is extremely obscure).  What did you think of the following (please describe your experience)?:

    1. Undoing a transaction by copying the necessary TSQL
    2. Retrieving data lost when a table is truncated and retrieving table schemas and dropped data from dropped tables
    3. Recovering lost data without restoring a back up
    4. Graphical representation of data (eleven options are available)

    If you had looked at the "actual" screen shots in the review, you would understand how much more detailed this product is then some other competitors (i.e., Apex).

    All,

    I have some comments from Log P.I. to submit in this forum concerning Paul and Gary's comments:

    "We would like to thank both parties for taking the time to review the product and respect both parties’ views and comments, we do not wish to be drawn into a public debate and are more than happy to discuss these, one on one with the individuals concerned, but would like to clarify the following:

    1. The impression is created is that Log PI cannot search on a back up file containing multiple log backups, which is not correct in all scenario’s, we have confirmed this bug with the party involved but we do feel the need to clarify the misconception that may arise from the comment. This bug only presents itself when a differential backup is done to the same file as the log backups. The bug is currently being attended to and will be fixed in the new version, due out shortly.
    2. All parties that experience installation problems are more than welcome to contact support@logpi.com.

    We will endeavor to satisfy all requests, however we do acknowledge that in certain scenario’s that it is not always possible to please all parties.

    Kind regards

    Log PI Management"

    I encourage you to contact Log P.I. support at (345) 945 0873 anytime if you are having problems with the installations, etc.  I was very pleased with their level of support.  Also, if you feel that there are better/comparible products out there, please feel free to note that in this forum.  We are always willing to take a look.  However, Log P.I. is well worth the cost.  It is packed with features (please see the review).
