"The Most Powerful and Agile Tool I've Used"

Overall: My cases often vary in terms of intelligence and digital evidence requirements. E3 makes adapting protocols effortless, while still ensuring results that are not only comprehensive but also compliant with any client or court requirements.

Pros: Ability to work with multiple devices that other options still seem to struggle with, Unique OSINT capabilities, and customer support that is swift and sincere.

Cons: I honestly cant say I have any real complaints about this tool at this time.

Reasons for Choosing E3:Universal: Mainly Pricing, adaptability and OSINT capability. Also, I found their mobile device forensic functions be much more comprehensive.

"++Exceptional & Essential Forensics Tool-kit that's also (thankfully) available to non-LEA Experts++"

Overall: True, there are several public domain/free/open-source tools available in the world. However, for many years, this suite has provided remarkably reliable and consolidated Digital Forensic advantages that are critical to any serious and accredited Digital Forensic Experts and paramount to the lasting relevance/success of said Experts.

Pros: From Acquisition to customizable and automated summary reporting, this software package should be an integral tool in your arsenal for exceptional Digital Forensics acquisitions, content analyses, parsing and reporting. Paraben is EXTREMELY dedicated and committed to their customers and their noteworthy, consistent upgrades are vital to helping customers keep up with the ever-changing world of technology.

Cons: On rare occasions, a logical mobile device acquisition fails yet Tech Support (especially [SENSITIVE CONTENT]) at Paraben has historically proven to be incredibly timely, personable, professional and dedicated to resolving any issues that arise.

Reasons for Choosing E3:Universal: Far more tools with comparable capabilities and less $$

"Awesome Software and easy to use!"

Overall: AWESOME, Awesome, AWESOME

Pros: This software compared to Secure view or Cellbrite is a lot easier to use. The software is top notch, the customer service is beyond anything I've every experienced. The paraben team whether the [SENSITIVE CONTENT], Sales, or tech support are always willing to assist and go above and beyond. Doesn't matter if its 9am on a Tuesday morning or Christmas eve, someone from the Paraben team is will to assist in a time of need.

Cons: The reports are a bit basis, I like to have the "wow" factor when presenting a report. Not sure how that could be changed.

Reasons for Switching to E3:Universal: PARABEN overall customer service, and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] at tech. support. He is the man!
