    This program takes forever to index and it uses a lot of memory of the system. When searching the results are nice.

    My earlier version was working great but since upgrading to the newer version of CDS, nothing seems to be working smoothly or missing emails and other data.

    Am going to remove it and go with an alternative.

    Doesn't deliver as good as CDS5.
    Promises Onenote integration (yet to see) and basically only "scans" the first three categories plus images.
    Have touched based many times with support; some just repeat a protocol like a recorder, others are sincere to try and help.
    Not pleased with this edition (and service) so far (2017-02-23)

    All in all, this version feels more like an alpha than beta or stable.
    Sad news from a company that i have always highly esteemed before.

    Copernic is an excellent files indexer. Highly recommended.
