"If only I could get support..."

mike78329 September 01, 2016 / Version: TVideoGrabber 8.6.2.10

2016-09-01 16:26:10 | By mike78329

Pros

Many great features
Integrates well into my app

Cons

Support appears to be non-existent. Even asking a simple question gets no response at all.

Summary

If you can't work out how to do something with this SDK then you're stuck. There's not even a Forum where you can ask other users.

"Powerful SDK let down by terrible support & aftersales"

appolospb April 08, 2013 / Version: TVideoGrabber 8.6.2.10

2013-04-08 08:06:32 | By appolospb

Pros

- More features than most of the rival video capture SDK's
- Affordable price compared to rivals
- Great, powerful SDK when it works !!
- Good help documentation
- Frequent SDK updates

Cons

- Abysmal after sales support. Your often wait weeks of months for a reply to a support query.
- SDK has tons of bugs.
- Your feel like a beta tester or a member of their bug testing team every time the SDK is updated or a fix is issued.
- DEMO application is a mass of buttons and is confusing to new users

Summary

Datastead is run by Michel who appears to be a one person support / programmer team. Michel is helpful but extremely slow to reply to emails (Weeks, months) often to the point where you think your email has gone down. I am pretty sure Michel works part time hence the slow support. Usually it takes 3-4 patches before any fix issued works making you feel like a beta tester and that this should have been tested prior to being sent out.
