Well it would make sense - after all, he's not technical enough for Microsoft, so why should he be technical enough for anybody else? [6] -

Hmmm. Google for 'TigerSolv' and this post is third in the list.
Bet they won't be happy.

Do you really think that'll happen?

You're a small ISV (with at least 2 employees), are you going to allow a brutal post about them appear pretty high up in google, or fix their software?
Once they fix their software, I'll remove this posting

Don't see what your security concerns are it's only storing personal contact and financial information...
Seriously though, I wouldn't hold your breath for a fix. If you're the only customer bemoaning the quality of the application then they may not consider it enough reason. The other possibility is that many customers are complaining, but the software is sufficiently niche (which I would suggest it is) that they don't have much competition.
That said, I really hope you've approached them about your issues. After all if they're unaware of your concerns, how can they fix them. Presuming they'll notice traffic from their website is flawed in that they may not support the site themselves, and even if they do how many small businesses ever look at their web logs!?
I have to say, looking at the UI it's certainly not the pretiest I've ever seen and a little busy for my tastes but it's not THAT bad.
After all if the app works well for the end users (not ignoring your security concerns, which certainly are an issue) then I'd take functional over pretty any day. (Unless that day is your wedding day of course ) -

You haven't worked with a lot of small ISVs have you? And the facts that they are small probably means they don't have the resources to fix all of the problems that you think are there....

In the meanwhile, can I ask everyone to not quote my post. In case I have to remove the post, it'll be a lot easier and won't involve editing your posts (and you know how the mods, as a matter of principle, won't edit other people's posts).
I have to admit to a bit of shaudenfraude here. You're happy to break NDAs etc, maybe this will help you consider things before you post.

In that light, this now seems quite ironic:

I removed that a few minutes later, besides that single occurence I haven't broken a single NDA.
You were careful to avoid posting screenshots or any information that could link you to them, though, so obviously you knew that posting this wasn't entirely OK. -

No, I was concerned of negative repercussions that would affect my friend's company's client, I'm not at all concerned about them attempting to sue me for slander.
Slander is verbal. They can only sue you for libel; and in UK courts the truth is the ultimate defence in a slander case. But you'd probably end up with lawyer fees.
