The ones I have read about on the user's knowledge base which might
work are eSignal, JustData and csiData. I would like to get a sense
of which of these is likely to work best (for the items listed above)
in practice, based on people's experience. Would you have any
feedback on this question, perhaps based on your experience or what
you have heard from others?
Thanks
