One of the common themes in these forums about management software is that you should try before you buy. By no means are all software offerings equal. However, there are several viable candidates that offer similar features and stability that your current application might not (if I read your post correctly). Many times, the final selection comes down to personal preference and style - believe it or not, most folks go with their gut than with a snazzy sales pitch.

To develop that instinct, you'll need to try a few demos and spend some time with each. Think of it like buying a car - would you buy the first one you test-drive even if your friends recommend it? And it doesn't matter as much what the showroom looks like or how many features the salesperson highlights. If you don't feel comfortable after kicking the tires and driving a few miles, you probably won't make a purchase.

Checking the ISS page will give you a list of various vendors. Be aware that they cover a wide range of prices and product offerings. Whether you're ready to spend $600, $3000 or something in between, once you narrow the field by price make sure to learn about what's available for your budget.
