"I have used/developed in jBASE for several years now, coming from D3 originally. The jBASE product is great - powerful, flexible and easy to use. Their support is the best I have known from the MultiValue world. The products are also very stable."
 

"jBASE provides utilities, expertise, and emulation capabilities that manage to make people happy. While many people have switched TO jBASE, I've never heard of anyone switching FROM jBASE. I've migrated from both AP/Pro and D3 to jBASE. Nothing but good to say about it."


"Bottom line: we run a multi-million dollar company with 29 stores on jBASE, we love it, and would not go back."
 

"Take a good look at jBASE.  We were Pick since the XT days, but switched to jBASE in the mid 90s and have never looked back.  Great technology, implementation, compatibility and support."
 

"We migrated to jBASE about 5 years ago.  We needed to create a GUI interface for our products and looked at using many different products before we finally chose jBASE. To be honest, we didn't find anything on any of the other MultiValue databases that we couldn't achieve on jBASE, in fact we didn't even need to change the software for the character-based software for it to run.  We were also pleasantly surprised at the level of jBASE support that we received; they bent-over-backwards to help us in anything we needed to do to continue to develop our software within their environment..."
