It's my point exactly that people need to evaluate these products. No reason to jump the gun and straight out buy a license at one of these 50% off deals just to find out you wasted your money on an app that's not going to cover what you need it to. Any one of these companies should be knocking down your door and going out of their way to provide you with extended evals so you can do just that in production. I want people to evaluate this stuff. Any company forcing you to decide right now is just preying on people because of the discontinuation.
