NetObjects Fusion 5.0 For Windows UpgradePlatform: Windows NT, Macintosh, Linux, Unix, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows 95 Brand: Netobjects Binding: CD-ROM
Run away from 5.0! [Posted on 2000-11-10] We bought several copies of 5.0 ... for our little company intranet, and were horrified to discover that only one person could edit the NOD files. Ever. If we wanted, we could buy the version that would allow four users to edit the same NOD ..., but if five of us needed to edit it on occasion we had to go to the next level. .... This was a no-brainer. We are not web-jockies, but we bought Dreamweaver. Too hard. We went back to NetObjects, but used a previous version - 4.0. To the folks at NetObjects: Greed (and excessive vanity) goeth before the fall, folks, and there simply is no excuse for this. Not only that, but friends of mine that had recommended NetObjects products for years warned me that NetObjects 5.0 causes irreparable corruption to the NOD file, and complete loss of the site, unless considerable levels of backups were made. I don't have time for this, and I will not be buying the upgrades for this product in the future. We are all stocking up on 4.0. This is the height of stupidity in software marketing. What a pity because 4.0 was one of the best, easiest to use web tools in the industry.
Fusion 5.0 - more like ConFusion 5.0 [Posted on 2001-02-27] If you have an earlier version of Fusion, stick with it. If you are looking for a new tool to build your website with, stay away from Fusion all together.
No! Bad Bad [Posted on 2001-02-27] Software tools are supposed to make things easier, right? If you agree, than stay away from Fusion 5.0. My husband and I bought Fusion 5.0, installed it, worked with it for 2 very frustrating weeks, than uninstalled it.
NetObjects 5.0, buggy at first... [Posted on 2001-02-28] NetObjects is a very good software package that is extremey user freindly and at the same time offers a truckload of features. You can make everything at the click of a button. I don't think you will find an easier program to make a comprehensive website out there. But out-of-the box its very buggy. the HTML doesn't work in Netscape and other pains but the good news is that NetObjects has fixed this all! Version 5.02a is now availible, its stable, HTML is fixed ans its faster. There really isn't anything to complain about anymore. Just download the upgrade and install the free upgrade from NetObjects.com before you start building your site. This program is so easy I did'nt even look at the manual or help function once... It is just so straigt forward. Usually programs that are easy don't offer the control, but in this area this program also exels, you have complete control over the HTML code, if you want to... So when you finally learn more about HTML this program is still very usable.
Where's the beef?! [Posted on 2002-08-21] After reading all the above reviews. I had to put my 2 cents worth in. I have used versions 4 & 5 annnnd, I like it! It's a very fast way to deploy a site. Dreamweaver is very very good but is for more advanced users. NoF is a great way to introduce someone to site building. I really enjoy using it. Some Easy Advice: Go slow at first, read the tutorial and build a business site per the instructions. Two days you will be up and running, and in two months you'll have it down. Happy web spinning! :>)
