I found "VM Products CSV !ULTIMATE!", compare with VMbepro by studio42, which one is better?

It us up to you - both will do an import and export of products job.
I tried "VM Products CSV !ULTIMATE!", it's very good, easy to use, most important the developer is very friendly and helpful.
VM Products CSV !ULTIMATE! is similar to VM Be PRO, but can only import/export and cost more.
I tend to agree with Studio 42
The VM Be PRO offers additional functionality to be able to manage products from the admin area using direct in line editing.
As well as being able to import and export categories, manufacturers, products, and custom fields directly from an XLS spreadsheet with no need to mess with CSV formatting.

All at a fraction of the cost of CSVI (which appears to be a yearly subscription model?!)
Hi AH, I tried VMBEPRO, when I export data, there is no product description, image and thumb nail links, only short description available.
@Laura Chu: i never had this request, but it's very hard and bad to add image directly in the XLS file. For the long description, all my customer only wanted filtered export for stock or price for now so i never tried to add more as current supported fields, but i can perhaps add this in one of the new release. I always add feature(all month) eg i'm on writing quick editor for front end, so you can do a basic shop now without jump in VM manager to add products or categories.

Thank you Studio 42, I'm so happy you reply me here. I bought VMPCSV first, there is some trouble with foreign language characters(Please check attached file), so I tried VMBEPRO. your component more flexible and more control, but less fields showing up in export file and import options. If you can add product description and image & thumbnail link in both import and export will be great. Or you may tell me how to handle product description and image links for thousands of products will help too, many thanks.
I see to add this as next feature, if you have no news, you can always contact me by mail.
Quick editor for vm be pro is near final stage, so in some weeks certainly.
