Best App for Managing Users - Hands Down        Written by Tim Guthary from Los Angeles, CA   (Wednesday, June 14, 2006) Writer is with: http://www.craftmasternews.com     Strengths:   Completely customizable, EXCELLENT support, great documentation   Weaknesses:   None.   Details:   I usually don't do reviews but must say this has been one of my best experiences in web development over the past few years. Have over 5,000 users loaded (using SQL Server 2000 for the backend) and this system runs smooth as silk. Looked at a ton of other programs before trying out Chris's software. So glad I found it. The fact that it now supports asp.NET sealed the deal for me. I'm not the world's greatest ASP programmer and I'm completely new to .NET, but I had his system up and running in less than an hour on both. Tested the demo out, played with it for like 10 minutes and immediately dropped the $$ for the full version - no-brainer. The code is extremely well-documented so customizations aren't difficult for even the novice programmer. Nothing out there that I've tested even comes close to offering the features and flexibility that this program does. Also worked with Chris on a few custom features we needed and he was extremely helpful in not only adding what I needed, but also suggesting ideas to go about it that I hadn't thought of. Not to mention very timely and responsive. Worth every Penny spent, no doubt. Thanks Chris - keep up the good work. Review Based On:   1 Month(s) of usage   A Comprehensive & Well Documented Product        Written by Hugh Waters from Gloucestershire UK   (Tuesday, May 23, 2006) Writer is with: http://www.hjwaters.co.uk  Strengths:   Great range of features, fully comprehensive & well documented   Weaknesses:   Could be slightly easier to skin & would like a developer log in over and above the admin level.   Details:   Looked at a lot of password protection schemes, from free to £LOTS. Convinced myself by trialling the Lite version & clinched sale with client by demoing with the Lite version. Full version (7) really great & easy to use. No hesitation recommending it to any site developer. Review Based On:   5 Month(s) of usage Outstanding Application, Documentation, Support       Written by Linette Casey  (Friday, December 02, 2005) Writer is with: not specified  Strengths:   Great setup instructions, highly customizable, MSSQL support, secure, protection for many file types.   Weaknesses:   none   Details:   Extraordinary software, absolutely the best documentation I've seen, & priced right. Had it installed and files protected in no time. The developer is quick to respond to questions; the forum is an excellent source of information. Pages are easy to customize (both design and function). Examples for various different scenarios are included. It's designed to be very secure and allows you to protect vbscript asp pages, images, PDFs, etc. MANY advanced features. Version 5 was terrific. Version 7 is way better! Review Based On:   1 Month(s) of usage     Nice, neat, well commented, well supported !!        Written by Dave Phoenix from UK   (Wednesday, July 20, 2005) Writer is with: http://www.davephoenix.com     Strengths:   Versatile, runs virtually "out of the box", great support.   Weaknesses:   not free !!! lol   Details:   I purchased ASP Protect AFTER speaking with the support, they even helped me BEFORE i had spent any money!! Thought i had some problems getting it to do the PayPal IPN part, support was great, and it turns out it was working fine anyway... my bad !! Great for tracking members and very easy to administer users / levels access, or even group access. This app has everything i needed and more. I recommend 100% if even only for the PayPal IPN scripts. They are spot on !! Review Based On:   6 Month(s) of usage   Excellent Product, Excellent Support        Written by Justin Jones from Tennessee   (Wednesday, July 20, 2005) Writer is with: http://www.eddconnect.com     Strengths:   Excellent Product, Excellent Support   Weaknesses:   Excellent Product, Excellent Support   Details:   Excellent Product, Excellent Support. This guy knows his stuff and supports it. I tried DMXREADY Secure Login Manager first it was 30 more dollars and was not even close to the application this is. So we switched to ASP Protect instantly. Really easy setup and easy to use. Great work. Review Based On:   2 Day(s) of usage   Sets a hig standard, awesome product      Written by The Webmaster from Texas   (Sunday, April 03, 2005) Writer is with: http://www.fatlaneonline.com   Strengths:   Features and personalized customer support   Weaknesses:   Not totally turnkey: you *do* need to configure stuff   Details:   I've been using ASPProtect since a VERY early version, back in 2001, and it's simply hands-down the best. This latest version is worth every penny of the upgrade cost, and then some. By including PayPal and 2Connect integration, I don't have the hassle of sitting on top of my account creation. It's already paid for itself with ease of use and allowing more payment options than I originally had. Once configured, it's a dream to operate. I love it and have never had a frustration session with the product. It does what it's supposed to do. The configuration process can be tricky in places, but that's what documentation is for, and C. Williams has got some excellent docs online at his site. Hit a major snag? Don't worry. Post at his site and he will respond personally. In one of my cases, he found and improvement in his code and made that available within a few hours of my post. WOW. I am so happy with the product, I have yet to wonder how it could be made better. Even so, Mr. Williams continues to improve ASPProtect, to make sure it retains its lead as the BEST user management solution on the market. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. REPEAT. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT Review Based On:   40 Month(s) of usage   Great Product, Incredible Support        Written by Daniel Jonas from Napa California   (Tuesday, November 02, 2004) Writer is with: http://www.napavalleyneighborhoods.com Strengths:   Features   Weaknesses:   A little intimidating for a new user   Details:   Having made the comment regarding the weaknesses, let me say that the service provided by Chris will get you through any issues you have with installation and getting the product to work. I have never had such quick responses to questions from any vendor. And these were patient and helpful responses. In my opinion the product is worth more, and the effort Chris put into handling my questions and some custom programing went beyond my expectations. Dan Jonas Review Based On:   7 Day(s) of usage     Accessibility friendly too!     Written by Mike Hembrey from St. Petersburg, FL   (Monday, May 10, 2004) Writer is with: http://www.freedomscientific.com Strengths:   Very easy to incorporate, ran as-is out of the box, easy to customize   Weaknesses:   Tutorial information took some time to fully understand   Details:   Customer service is how to build a business, and Chris does it first class. Even when he does not understand your particular application problem, he will still keep working to provide a solution. The application ran great out of the box, but I admit I am an experienced ASP user that understands ODBC, DSN-Less, #INCLUDE, and other phrases that trouble the newbie. However, a newbie should be expected to learn this material if they are working in a security application... and now the most important part for any application - - - This software runs without modification in a screen-reader environment. My company produces the undisputed most-popular screen reader software for blind people. Any third-party application MUST be Accessible to blind persons. With 1/3 of our employees being blind, this is not just a recommendation, but a fact if I wish to continue being the Web Administrator. I easily customized the Login form to include some hints, and did not have a single complaint about the page being readable with our software. - - - If you need a solid access-control password system, that is also Bobby, W3C, and Section 508 compliant, use ASP Protect rather than writing it yourself. That is my story and I am sticking to it! Mike Hembrey. Review Based On:   4 Month(s) of usage     Outstanding Product & Outstanding Support     Written by Alan Newman from New York   (Thursday, April 08, 2004) Writer is with: http://www.cross-currents.net/ Strengths:   Broad based application - Easy to use   Weaknesses:   None!   Details:   Have used ASPProtect with bonus pack since October '03 with zero problems. Database now has over 500 members. Very easy to use. I love the feature where new members self register and the program notifies me. Have had absolutely no problems at all and do not foresee the potential for any after 6 months of use. Also important: Mr. william's support on the installation was as much as one could ask for. Review Based On:   6 Month(s) of usage   Great!!     Written by Bill Camden from Victoria, BC   (Saturday, March 20, 2004) Writer is with: http://www. bullets fastball com Strengths:   Easy to install, well commented code... great support   Weaknesses:   None so far.   Details:   Being a newbie, I found the installation straightforward. I had a couple of server configuration issues that technical support immediately helped me clear up. You can use this program confident that you will be able to get it running, even if you need help from technical support. They are there when you need them. Review Based On:   7 Day(s) of usage   ASPProtect is solid as a rock running SQL2000     Written by John Reed from Melbourne, Australia   (Tuesday, February 24, 2004) Writer is with: http://www.forestry.org.au/test.asp Strengths:   Easy of use, code comments, feature set, option pack   Weaknesses:   Does not have a remember me feature   Details:   I have been using ASPProtect v 6 with the option pack on MS Server2003 and MS SQL2000 and have had no major issues at all. THe code is well rwiten and commented so any modification are easy. Once logged in a full set of user variable are available so it is easy to customise any page. Importing and exporting of users is really easy. Lost password feature is great as is having a log of members visits. Review Based On:   6 Month(s) of usage     Rebuttal From Listing Owner:   Actually, ASPProtect does have that feature. We emailed John Reed to make sure he the feature was there and sure enough all was well and the feature was indeed there and working. Absolutely the Best ASP Product     Written by Roger Fisher from San Diego, CA   (Wednesday, August 20, 2003) Writer is with: http://www.sdmse.com Strengths:   Ease of installation, Well Documented and Commented Code   Weaknesses:   None I Have Seen Yet   Details:   I've been using ASPProtect for a few years now and it hasn't hiccuped yet. Probably the finest technical support from Chris that I've experienced with a software product. Compared to many of the "other" ASP based password protection products out there, this one is hands down the best. Review Based On:   using demo only   Great Software Even for a Novice!     Written by Wes Black from Fort Worth, Texas   (Saturday, August 09, 2003) Writer is with: http://www.sltn.com Strengths:   It works! ASPprotect was simple and straightforward to set up. Good price, too.   Weaknesses:   None that I have found.   Details:   ASPprotect is exactly what I needed and it worked like a charm. I am a real novice at web development so ASP was a tough learning curve. Just when I was about to give up my hosting service recommended ASPprotect. I was relieved to find that it met all my needs, was simple to set up and incorporate into my web site, and it worked as described. The followup has been all that I could ask for. I recommend this with the highest recommendation. Review Based On:   5 Month(s) of usage   Great Product - Even better support     Written by Justin Jones from Tennessee   (Sunday, June 22, 2003) Writer is with: http://www.eddconnect.com Strengths:   Very clean interface. Very versatile and customizable. The best support I have ever had from anyone.   Weaknesses:   None   Details:   Does what it says it will do. I had them install it and they went way out of there way to do so in a very fast manner. There where problems encountered during the install and they went completely out of there way to get it up and going. I would recommend this product or any of there other great products to anyone. Check there other products out at www.cjwsoft.com Review Based On:   4 Day(s) of usage   Outstanding Product! Best I've Found!     Written by David LeBlanc from Newport, Rhode Island   (Thursday, March 06, 2003) Writer is with: http://www.mustang123.com Strengths:   Very robust, easy to use, easy to setup, great customer support, and I could go on and on!   Weaknesses:   None!   Details:   I spent weeks looking for a robust ASP application that would work on Windows 2000 Servers, had a membership functionality, and was integrated with PayPal to allow paid members subcriptions to my site. When I found ASPProtect I was delighted that it had all the features I was looking for and some extra! Within about 30 minutes I had the software installed and a test transaction processed through PayPal. The script was completely automated so that the user got his password, and access immediately and the script set the expiration date on the account. Basically, the way the script is written I do not have to get involved as the administrator because it is completely automated which reduces my workload tremendously. It does however have the option to allow Administrators to personnally accept/reject new members. For what it's worth, I had purchased another ASP application to secure pages but was dissatisfied with its capabilities. Just to integrate it with PayPal was going to cost me another $180 in customization. With ASPProtect, I got a much, much better application with the PayPal module for less that just the customization costs! Another feature that is very valuable is the script generator to secure pages. Basically, it will generate the one line of code to place in your pages to secure them and that's it. Other application have 5-7 lines and you have to edit them manually. Last word. I have been completely satisfied with the customer support. It is very rare that a company actually contacts me AFTER the sell just to make sure everything is working correctly, but that is exactly what ASPProtect had done (twice!). You can't beat that for customer support. You won't go wrong with this product. Review Based On:   2 Month(s) of usage   Great Product   Written by Glen Graves from Houston   (Thursday, December 19, 2002) Writer is with: http://www.glnx.com Strengths:   Flexible, Reliable, Easy to Use and Set Up, Great Support   Weaknesses:   can't find any...   Details:   We've used the ASP product on our corporate website for over three years, and just recently upgraded to the new ASP.Net package. We love the product because it is very easy to use and configure, yet has all of the options we need (and a few more). It is also very flexible. In the new .Net version we especially like the new "groups" feature and additional custom fields. Set-up support is great. I have always received a quick and helpful response. Review Based On:   38 Month(s) of usage   ALL that and a bag o' chips     Written by michael k from California   (Friday, November 08, 2002) Writer is with: http://cloudburstdesign.com Strengths:   Affordable, Comprehensive, Easy. Get it.   Weaknesses:   Haven't really found any...yet.   Details:   First I got the Demo, and with a single change to the database path literally had it up in minutes. Not to date this review, but I bought the full version the same day for 99 bucks... then bought the upgrade pack for another 50... Given the power, flexibility, and ease of use I will most likely never need to buy/create another login routine for this particular site. I haven't tried the SQL port, but it intrests me, and I will most likely try it in the future. The moral of the story is: kick the programmer 100 bucks cause you WILL NOT find a more robust login routine for this price. And if you're an ASP programmer yourself drop the author a line, and ask HIM how long he worked on it. Thanks for an awesome product -mk Review Based On:   1 Hour(s) of usage   5 stars just isn't enough!     Written by Scott Merrill from Cordova, TN   (Tuesday, September 03, 2002) Writer is with: http://www.deanalee.com/ Strengths:   Fairly easy setup for novice users; AMAZINGLY quick & VERY helpful support from author   Weaknesses:   No "newsletter" configuration built-in; not necessary, but would be really helpful :)   Details:   This script absolutely 30ROCKS! The INCREDIBLE support from Chris Williams (the author) makes this script easily rise above the rest! I sent him an e-mail, expecting hours or even days before a response...try MINUTES!!! Three or four more e-mails, all answered in just a few more minutes! He pointed me in JUST the right direction, every time, and nailed each & every problem right on the head. The only thing that could make this script better would be a mailing list option built-in. However, in Chris' defense, there are 6 custom fields that can be used already built-in; they just require some medium-level knowledge of ASP in order to make them work. I have no doubt, however, that Chris will come through once again with FLYING colors! I will highly recommend this script to anyone who needs an inexpensive, easy-to-setup, easy-to-maneuver user-management system for their website! A+, Chris! Review Based On:   10 Day(s) of usage

Great for a novice!     Written by John Gordon from Pomeroy, Washington   (Monday, August 26, 2002) Writer is with: http://www.castlemoyle.com Strengths:   no comment   Weaknesses:   no comment   Details:   My asp experience was zilch. I purchased asp protect last week and had it running on my local server within a day. It took a bit of research to make all the parts work together, but I NEVER could have done it alone. I spent more time researching possible passwording solutions than I did setting asp protect up on my system. Getting it going on our actual internet site was simply e-mailing the system operator and having a directory's permissions changed. And now that it's live, it's four clicks from getting the e-mail that someone has registered to sending them out their password and access. A one-word review of asp protect is SWEET! Thanks to the author. Review Based On:   5 Day(s) of usage

 

A job well done     Written by Anonymous User (#1627-172) from Netherlands   (Tuesday, November 05, 2002) Strengths:   Simple use & instalation, easy to customize, good and honest support   Weaknesses:   Well I wouldn't know any   Details:   Chris took care of everything, many mailcomponents, different server models. Since my first experience with ASPprotect he has added many new features and with the recently purchased 'option pack' I'm top of the roof. Some Dutch language module would be nice ;-) Ad Review Based On:   12 Month(s) of usage   No problems at all in 3 years,     Written by Anonymous User (#1406-200) from Overland Park, KS   (Friday, June 07, 2002) Strengths:   no comment   Weaknesses:   no comment   Details:   I have used the "Full version" of Password Protect for over three years. No problems at all in those 3 years, even as our database grew or even when we moved servers and my other ASP programs required changes. I'm not a programmer and it only took me a couple of hours to have it working and completely customized. Now I need the Pro version for another customer so I'm back to buy from you again. Thank you for such a great and very cost effective product! ASP Protect - saved me weeks of work!     Written by Anonymous User (#1417-101) from Brisbane, Australia   (Monday, May 27, 2002) Strengths:   no comment   Weaknesses:   no comment   Details:   I bought the full version of ASP Protect some time ago. It is very functional and easy to set up. A great investment and it saved me WEEKS of time ASP coding writing this sort of password protection package for myself (and it wouldn't be nearly as good!). I am using it at www.pearlygatesentertainment.com, and will be adding it to calvinbradshaw.com and some other sites soon. Most impressive was the after-sales service I recieved from CJWSoft. Calvin Bradshaw THE BEST IN ASP!     Written by Anonymous User (#1640-186) from Rockville, MD   (Wednesday, May 15, 2002) Strengths:   no comment   Weaknesses:   no comment   Details:   I have been using this script for over a year now and I have never had ANY problems with it! Very easy to use, user friendly etc. Author get an A+ in my book!! Excellent     Written by Anonymous User (#1211-98) from Woodland Hills, CA   (Monday, May 06, 2002) Strengths:   no comment   Weaknesses:   no comment   Details:   This software does everything that it claims to do. It comes with easy installation instructions and the author is very quick to respond to emails. :) Excellentt! We use it at WebHostmagazine.com     Written by Anonymous User (#1492-207) from California   (Thursday, February 21, 2002) Strengths:   no comment   Weaknesses:   no comment   Details:   We've used this program for over a year at Web Host Magazine & Buyer's Guide and have never had a problem with it. This is excellent code and easy to use. It allows us to handle the different levels of security we use to determine passwords for admin, Web Hosts, Host Finders and our independent Reviewers without skipping a beat. As soon as they sign in, ASPProtect determines their level and we redirect them to their admin panel. Absolutely no hassle. I highly recommend it, and invite anyone here to contact me at WebHostMagazine.com and ask me about it if they'd like.

I got lots of support from the developer, and it's been a great experience all around. Great product, great price, great support. Very good application     Written by Anonymous User (#1380-160) from Hershey, PA   (Wednesday, May 23, 2001) Strengths:   no comment   Weaknesses:   no comment   Details:   This is a nice application and worked very well for our needs. There is a lot of work put into this that saved us allot of time on a clients project which of course we still charged for. This was easy to customize as it is just ASP source code. It does the job!     Written by Anonymous User (#1592-284) from Ontario, Canada   (Thursday, April 05, 2001) Strengths:   no comment   Weaknesses:   no comment   Details:   I am pleased with the end results but a little frustrated about the complexity of the script... not so easy to modify! I can't believe it.     Written by Anonymous User (#1624-201)  (Thursday, March 08, 2001) Strengths:   no comment   Weaknesses:   no comment   Details:   I just wanted to tell how cool your password program is. I can't believe you are selling it this cheap. I have paid a lot more for a lot less
