This baby rocks! - Version: 2.0pb7, 9/15/2009 07:17PM PST

I had used DEVONthink Personal initially and then moved up to Pro and, finally, Pro Office. Although it was an application I used every day, I wasn't getting that warm fuzzy feeling. I searched around and purchased a competing application, Together, and thought I had found true love. Then the beta of DEVONthink Pro Office 2 was announced, and I decided to give the relationship another try. These guys have REALLY been hard at work! Love reborn! New and improved features are too numerous to mention, but I must say it does for my workflow what moving from dial-up to cable did for my web browsing. And they're not done yet! Try it, spend some time with it, kick the tires, burn some rubber. Print to DEVONthink instead of paper, and help save the forests. This baby rocks! (Sorry for the overabundance of metaphors. I couldn't resist.)
Crashes a lot on Snow Leopard - Version: 2.0pb6, 9/10/2009 09:13PM PST

I've had to cease using DTP on Snow Leopard since it crashes not long after opening it. Just a heads up for anyone reliant on DTP who's also considering upgrading to 10.6.

The Mac's most powerful program - Version: 2.0pb6, 8/3/2009 05:50PM PST

Undoubtedly the best program available on any platform for serious data junkies. Made with researchers in mind. I personally find it simple to use, but powerfully extensible using scripts. Many brilliant scripts are provided or can be downloaded from the forum. Although the program is in beta it is more stable than most final releases. Granted the world has waited a while for 2.0, but it has been worth the wait. These coders are serious perfectionists. Worth switching to a Mac if you're on one of those other platforms.
Vaporware? Is your head stuck between your thighs? - Version: 2.0pb5, 5/21/2009 09:31PM PST

Not only is this NOT vaporware, it is one of the best-managed releases of a feature-rich product that I've seen in a long time.
The public betas are anything but vaporware as they are in use by longtime 1.0 users as well as a whole group of new users. The betas work and there's no excuses.
Have you even tried this out? Apparently not since one download and thirty minutes worth of using it will prove beyond any doubt to the reasonably intelligent soul that this application is very usable, totally supported by the very responsive developer, and handles tons of data and tasks.
Get your head out of the sand and give it a whirl. You might be surprised.

It has been in beta since before we walked on the moon. No confidence in a company with no commitment.

I don't frequent VT that much these days, and was surprised to find such low ratings for DTPO.
I began using DEVONthink Pro in 2005, and when the Office version was released I upgraded.
I would not compare it to Spotlight, since it does much more.
There are a few screencasts showing DTPO's capabilities, as well as a manual and a very useful forum, not to mention their responsive customer support.
I usually would not rate a beta version, but my rating reflects my overall experience with DT, including the latest beta.

Does Not Sync Properly - Version: 2.0pb3, 2/22/2009 11:45AM PST

I imported a folder from a Apple Server. Everything was fine. Subsequently, the folder contents changed. I "synced" everything and DEVONthink Pro Office did nothing. I have to constantly re-import the whole folder, which is a real pain.

You might want to wait 24 hours to download, as they have the 1.5.0 version linked to here, and on the Devon website.

I cannot confirm the comments mad before because it's search is powerful, and now with Spotlight support it's even better.
Take a look at the tutorial video's on their site and you will learn a lot you didn't know before.
I tried many others but Devonthink Pro Office can even find word that are misspelled, in fact I m always able to find back wath I m looking for, and now from the Spotlight bar.
Also when there is a bug and I report it, they mostly fix it within a week.

I've been using this now with my all-in-one color laser machine to keep track of all of those documents and other bits of information that a person in the digital age seems to collect constantly. Contracts, warrantees, invoices, tax information, membership information, personal info, etc.
I really appreciate the OCR ability so I can turn nearly anything into a searchable document. OCR isn't perfect, of course, but it does the trick in most cases.
While the Pro Office version is priced out of the range of most people, it is a handy tool and thanks to the fact the Devon Technologies offers an upgrade path from each version of their product to the next makes it a bit easier for people to slowly trade up as their needs grow.
I tried looking for a program like this for Windows and there isn't anything even remotely close. The reciept and page managers don't do half of what DTPO can.
