• Comment I found only few mentions in InfoWorld and PC Mag magazines, which may be enough for a redirect (however, I don´t see a clear redirect target here), but certainly not for a stand-alone article. Pavlor (talk) 09:39, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please, "vote" keep only once (use "comment" etc. for other input). Could you list two or three (ONLY three) reviews you think are best (in sense broad coverage of the article subject)? That would certainly help to judge notability here. Pavlor (talk) 07:10, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
