It has become pretty standard practice to require a potential customer to fill out a form so some pain in the a$$ salesman can bug the crap out of them BEFORE they try out the product. It's not about

You have got to be joking. Cisco takes excellent customer relations to a fault. I cannot say enough about them from sales to support. It is a corporate philosophy that Legato will never have. I'm no

Isn't Legato being sold? I remember hearing about it. Last I heard they were looking for someone to purchase their company. If this is still in progress, I wonder about the level of support once the

i have heard the same. one would think that if a used product has a "for sale" sign on it, it would need to be washed first? we have not been a legato customer for long now, so cannot speak to the se

Rumors of sale have gone on for quite some time. If Computer Associates buys them, we will all wish for the old days. And the prices will go up. We recently did a competitive bid considering Veritas

I agree with David. Legato has turned down purchase offers a few times through the years .... either the buying prices were too low, or something else in the package was likeable to them - {sources:
