DeliverPoint Useful But Not What I Want

I have a client who was desperate for a tool to administer SharePoint's confusing security settings. Since SharePoint can only display it's hierarchial security structure in flat-file views, the most critical requirement is for a security tool to allow the admin to see users and their site permissions in a treeview structure, allowing the admin to move up and down among nested sites easily.
Unfortunately, this is EXACTLY where DeliverPoint falls down. In order to see usernames and permissions, the admin has to leave their very useful treeview and go into a application, "Discover Site Permissions" which will only show that particular sub-sites users in a flat-file-like display. To see another site's users, one needs to go back to the "DeliveryPoint 2007" application (a separate option on the Site Actions menu) and move to another site, then open "Discover Site Permissions" again, etc.
If we could have seen the users and permissions from within the "DeliverPoint 2007" app we would probably have purchased but it was decided that the product was too expensive too put up with the clumsy interface.
Product Reviews
| Pros | Accessible from site actions menu. Simple to use. Treeview shows what objects have inherited permissions with easy-to-understand icons. |
| Cons | Have to go into a separate applications, "Discover Site Permissions" every time you want to see actual user names and their permissions. Can only see the permissions in this application for one site at a time, i.e. there is no treeview that allows you to drill down to sub-sites. |

Looked good in the demo, but didn't work for us

The demo looked pretty good, but our trial did not go as planned. Unfortunately our AD setup was too complicated so the sync process took about 22 hours to run. For this tool to work well, it needs to be run daily.
Also, it is/was not able to target just specific branches of the overall AD. In my case the users supported were on only two of the dozens of domains connected at the root. This should not be an issue in a small, centralized organization.
Product Reviews
| Pros | Provides good permission reporting, and offers the ability to copy a user's permissions |
| Cons | Did not work in our environment with a large, distributed AD forest. |
