    As a EnCase user over 20 years, I have seen many changes to the product. The last few years, the product has not been keeping up with the market and needs of the community, but I believe now that has changed.

    I have used Encase sparingly. It has been a good experience so far, but i have limited relevant experience to draw on. Their software is incompatible with Carbon Black Antivirus.
