Appendix D: Meridian client comparison

It can be difficult to choose which client application will best meet a person's needs with so many different ways of accessing vault data. The following table compares the major features available in each of the Meridian Enterprise client applications. This table uses the Meridian Enterprise PowerUser client as the basis for feature definitions. Therefore, a check mark indicates that client supports a feature in the same way as PowerUser. That is regardless of whether the client has a similar feature that works in a different way.
