I've only been using Spanning Sync v3 for a short time. Tested it, and then bought it. I use it to sync my MacPro and my MacBook Pro and my Blackberry (SO much more reliable and less time consuming than troubleshooting Missing Sync!)

During the testing process I had several questions for the developer that received responses within 24 hours - maximum. I got a couple of responses within a couple of hours! After my purchase, I had one more issue - a corruption of my internal files (not a fault of Spanning Sync, but rather, Apple's Sync Services). The next day, I got a response from the developer with specific resolution instructions, and a request to contact him back, if the problem persisted. The first suggested resolution did solve the problem.

I can't completely attest to Spanning Sync yet - I don't use it for contacts yet, only iCal, but I've found that so far it's reliable. BUT, the customer support is superb, IMO.

I just had to make sure people saw the other side of the story.

Spanning Sync ReviewWARNING - Will not uninstall completely! - Version: 2.1.1, 3/1/2009 08:44PM PST

Did not work all that well. The big problem came when I wanted to remove it. The uninstaller leaves the Spanning Sync icon in the system preferences. When you click on it, you get Preferences Error: "You cannot open Spanning Sync preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac". Searching on Spanning finds no files to delete.

And the final straw, there is no email link to ask questions at the site. Just useless FAQs.
