  Duration of ownership: 1 Months

  Strengths: Security

  Weaknesses: Privacy

  Overall Evaluation: Although it appears to work well, there is a fundamental design weakness that makes we wish I hadn't bought it. This is that it has not been designed with any degree of privacy. And privacy is the first layer of security: if you leave your car unattended you don't leave valaubles on show no matter how good your car alarm! When you are logged out of your Roboform profile, the user interface is still visible. This means that anyone else using your PC can see which websites you are registered at, although they can't actually use your passwords (trying to use them prompts for the password). Also, Roboform stores its data in individual encrypted files (one for each website), and these are visible (but not usable) in Windows Explorer. The only workaround it to make the names less obvious: eg. call your entry for ebay something like "xgygz" - but then you won't know what it is even when you're logged in! As far as I can see it works well, but if you want privacy as well as security, this is not a good product.

  Duration of ownership: 10 Years

  Strengths: It was my favorite program of any kind for years.

  Weaknesses: It only fills some forms now, fewer everyday - they admit this. It was too expensive when it worked and can only be used on one of your computers. The tool bar stuff has not worked in years AND they blame Microsoft for this so don't expect any fixes.

  Overall Evaluation: Not worth it anymore. I still use it but I already paid for it. I'll be abandoning it soon.

  Duration of ownership: 1 Months

  Strengths: works quite well but is a little more cumbersome than Norton Password--BUT-it works with Vista and Norton Password does not.

  Weaknesses: Big problem here. It isn't realy free.

  Overall Evaluation: I used it for a month and spent alot of time transferring all my passwords into this program. Then all of a sudden it asks for payment to upgrade to Pro version if I want to use more than 10 passwords. This is a classic bait and switch and the company should be investigated for this behavior. Even though I like the program I'm going to look for another more honest software vendor.

  Strengths: ?????/ This trial program looks like a Scam so has no Strengths.

  Weaknesses: This is only a trial program and lets you use only a few things it can do. There is different $$ amounts for full program. The web site Siber System is dishonest from the start.

  Overall Evaluation: If you check on the total price of full system it has different prices. Looks like a Scam to me.

  Strengths: Extremely handy in saving time typing in all of your basic info and TEN passwords, etc....as long as (read on below)

  Weaknesses: SIBER SYSTEMS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES! This great little program will suddenly start to warn you about having more than 10 passwords saved and a little while later will just stop working entering your passwords altogether...that is, until you either reduce to 10 saved passwords or buy their Pro version (which is priced differently on different pages of their own site). They don't tell you this on their website and are obviously attempting to get you hooked and forcing you to buy something that is not now as good as it once was. Siber Systems doesn't tell you there are certain limitations to RoboForm.

  Overall Evaluation: I am 54 years old. I appreciate good things when they come along. This is one of those I'll-remember-you-guys things. If all you ever expect to save is 10 passwords (HA!) then go ahead and download RoboForm. If you want to store more then maybe you should look at some other company. Siber Systems just doesn't get it. You don't earn customers by "baiting and switching" products. What you earn is a reputation that has a strange aroma about it.
