I launch about 250 auction per month, and I'm currently chin deep in Andale. All my data is stuck in that buggy system. Andale is a great system when it works, the best in my opinion. The problem is it is super unreliable, and as a result is useless to me.
I'm wondering if anybody here has recently used Andale, and could compare Vendio and Andale?

I have looked at using Andale in the past but it was just to expensive. I often have over 6000 images online, and this would cost to much. Vendio is very reliable. They have only been down once for any substantial amount of time, that I can recall in the last 2 years. This unfortunately was only a few weeks ago.
I have my gripes with Vendio but they are not big enough to make me switch. I just wish that they would bring over the Sales Manger BE Features into Sales Manager Pro.
My biggest gripe with Vendio is that doing Post Sale editing on line is way to slow. I have a high speed DSL, and a 2.4GHz computer so it is not me. The way they have implemented this feature is just slow.
SMBE has post sale off line, but is lacking the latest Vendio Features since it is no longer being updated.
I would love to have an SMBE with a multiuser SQL database behind it, and the latest Vendio Features. I would be happy to pay a Premium for this type of Software.

I used Andale in the past (about 1 1/2 yrs ago-not so recent) and it got way too expensive. I then found Auctionwatch (vendio) and switched immediately. I have enjoyed using Vendio and will stick with them. They are reasonable and I can post as many images and listings as I want without having to mortgage the house. I recommend Vendio highly.
