install4j - testimonials

"Within 1 hour I had created a brand new and fully functional installer for LandlordMax, including time to read a couple of advance features in the user manual! That’s amazing! Not only that, but if you consider the human resource costs of learning an installer like NSIS and the cost of Install4J, Install4J wins hands down! I did mention that we were using InstallAnywhere as well. After trying Install4J, we decided to convert entirely over to Install4J and stop using InstallAnywhere. It was a good product for us at the time, but it’s now time to move on to a great product like Install4J." (the entire review is available on Stephane Grenier's blog)

"I recently switched from InstallAnywhere and could not be more pleased. Your product is fantastic and very easy to use. I converted over three IntallAnywhere projects in about 30 minutes and am very very happy. Keep up the great work! I have also used your JProfiler product and the similarities in the user experience greatly helped."

"After having used InstallAnywhere for about three years, we recently migrated to install4j. I can't say enough how much better our experience has been. We've found install4j to be much more intuitive and feature-rich. We were able to migrate our installers with few bumps in the road. The support we got in the process was excellent, which is a stark contrast to the support we got when using InstallAnywhere, which was almost non-existent. Anyone considering InstallAnywhere should give install4j a serious look. Having used them both extensively, I would highly recommend install4j over InstallAnywhere."

"CodeFutures did extensive market research and product testing prior to choosing install4j. Not only did we find that install4j was technically very strong, we also concluded that it offers the best price-performance ratio of any of the products available on the market. We've seamlessly integrated install4j into our build process - it's 100% reliable and produces perfect installers for Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X."

"Over last weekend, I needed to build some installers for several different platforms for a new application we're working on. Over the years, I've looked at different installer packages for Java and hadn't found one that made building enterprise quality installers really easy. install4j by ej-technologies finally filled that void for me. For a modest price, you can package your Java applications in native, customizable installers that provide your application with all the native hooks that your customers have come to expect from product installers. install4j even solves the often-painful process of packaging a JRE with your application. They allow you to download a specific JRE for each platform and package your application with it, forcing your application to run with that packaged JRE. This is a great option, especially if you'd like to focus on Java 5 development and don't mind the extra 12Mb that JRE tacks on. So, if you're looking for a good installer program, check it out!"

"We've been long-time users of Zero G's InstallAnywhere. We recently made the switch to install4j and couldn't be happier. We've found install4j simpler to use, and the generated installers offer a better end-user experience for our customers."

"We left InstallShield and switched to install4j. We were up and running in one day, and our installation-related support calls almost disappeared after we released our new installer. When our customers are happier, we're happier. install4j has the features we require without the steep learning curve of the bigger packages."

"I wanted to say congratulations on a superb product in install4j. As a java software developer since 1996, I truly appreciate such a highly professional and polished product. You have clearly paid a lot of attention to detail which is something many other products miss."

"install4j is simple and intuitive, yet powerful and feature rich. Unlike most other installers, we do not need to become experts on installers! We can focus on what we do best, system integration."

"When we were deciding between installers your product stood out for its ease of use, extensibility and cross platform support. Great work!"

"I just wanted to tell you how absolutely amazing install4j is. I am totally blown away and impressed at how easy it was. I had budgeted 10 days of fiddling around to get our product distributable with a native Windows installer and using your evaluation I did it in about 1 hour. I *immediately* grabbed my credit card and purchased install4j after that evaluation. Thank you so much for the incredible work you're doing."

"Just wanted to let you know that I love your product, especially your UI. I have been using the product for a couple of years now, and I just went through my installers and updated them and found the UI to be very easy to use. Keep up the great work! "
