I think that whats being said is that people are disatisfied with the
quality of post-sales support, and that talking to the vendor, has, in
many cases, failed.

Given that, why should we not form a users group to discuss our
problems, share code written to ease use of sdadmin, and write a 'ACE
users FAQ,' or even a '10 things you should know before buying from
Security Dynamics' FAQ.

Cutting into the sales of the product by telling people the truth
about it is a very powerful technique for fixing whats wrong.  Going
crazy because of 'Database locked by another administrator' is not
useful to your company.
