Currently there is no good software that does everything. So below here is a list of software used by LDAS members and a brief bit of information on what it is used for. Please remember, what one person finds good software, someone else may find less than perfect. We would recommend either using trials of software first, or ask for a demo from an LDAS member who uses the software you are interested in. LDAS is not affiliated to any of the software listed.
