Read about ParabenI have been in law enforcement for approximately 12 years now and I have been using Paraben E3 Universal software to conduct digital forensic examinations of mobile devices, personal computers and digital video recorders for about 5 years now and I am continually impressed on the ease of use, practicability, and flexibility of this software. I service multiple surrounding agencies for digital forensics, not just the agency I work for, and I am able to provide comprehensive, easy to read reports that have aided in nearly countless investigations that result in criminal charges and eventually conviction as a result of those reports. Customer service with Paraben Corporation is second to none; they are quick to respond and even quicker with solutions. I readily and eagerly recommend Paraben Corporation to any agency that needs an affordable and flexible digital forensic software suite and customer service for their digital forensic needs.
E3 stands out in my diverse cases involving intelligence and digital evidence requirements. Its user-friendly search and filter functions, combined with time-saving presets, allow me to quickly access relevant evidence. Importing and exporting data is effortless with the import/export wizard, and the ability to handle various formats showcases E3’s adaptability. The integrated metadata functions are especially valuable in stalking cases, making reporting seamless and efficient. E3 ensures that all discovered items and their sources are well-organized and documented, crucial for successful outcomes both inside and outside the courtroom.
As a criminal defense attorney who is also a certified computer and mobile device forensic expert witness, I am always suspicious of those professionals who try and convince me that only their “special” forensic tool can find the evidence. More times than not, it looks like they have been misled by the manufacturer’s claims. I have used Paraben’s E3 for years and it has never failed me, and when combined with their excellent technical support during challenging investigations, it has been my “go-to” forensic solution for all my cases.
