Software good, service poor

Summary:
The software is good, especially for the management of images (less for videos). However, business policies and service are deficient: Despite buying one is forced for the subsequent compulsory registration.

Detailed:
The image management is great (I do not know any better) and it provides time-saving features through batch processing (zoom out, rotate, rename, etc.). When playing videos, there are often problems (long delays, some crashes), but ACDSee was not developed. Nor ACDSee is consuming retouching. Who wants that, should rather resort to Lightroom. But are for the non-professional and great va easy to use editing functions integrated (more intuitive / faster to learn than in Lightroom).

Annoying, however, the business policy and service: Although the PRO software will cost around 90 EUR, you have to forcibly meRegister _after_ buying yet. Without this compulsory registration you have to live permanently with a troublesome start-up screen, which constantly prompts for registration and can not be off. Even more annoying is that you get without registration, no security updates for its software. I think that is irresponsible. Inquiries with the customer service were only a meaningless answer and after re-consultation no longer answer.

We mention: The software itself is good. As a free alternative, which is not much worse, I can recommend IrfanView.
