It would be good to have more frequent major software releases

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

List out your absolute 'must have' requirements then compare the products. Look at the features, price points, the number of people supporting the product, their collective experience levels, and the number of years the product has been on the market. The product support, in my view, is ultimately what makes this product a compelling candidate.
