DateBk5 vs. Agendus?

[Gary King]

Which do you prefer? DateBk5 or Agendus (Standard)?

I tried Agendus. It worked fine. I just didn't like the 'look'.

Agendus is mostly eye candy. I tried it a while ago, and this was what my conclusion was.

I use DB5 and love it. It's extremely powerful for managing appointments, tasks, etc, with a decent amount of memo and address book integration. The impression I've gotten from those familiar with Agendus is that it is more geared toward contact management, such as for someone in Sales or Purchasing who needs to track contacts with appointments. DB5 does, but apparently Agendus has more capabilities in that particular arena. For schedule management, though, I can't imagine that there could be a tremendous advantage over DB5.

I also know that DB5 has incredible support and is updated frequently for new devices and their features, any bugs that might crop up with a new device, etc. I've read mixed reviews about the support for Agendus, but have never used it so I can't speak from personal experience.

My experience w/DB5 in 2 days? Support = excellent. I thanked the developer a lot after he answered my question in a very short period (~1 day). I consider this extremely fast, since Agendus sometimes never replies back to me at all anyways. And I understand that there is only 1 developer (I think?) for DB5, so I don't mind if it even takes him a week. He's even told me he's spending time working on the next version of DB5, which he suggests will be released in about 2 months from now.

When I last looked at the two products (I use DATEBK5) my opinion was that DATEBK5 had a bit of an edge on Scheduling and ToDos and Agendus had a bit of an edge on Contacts.
