User reviews
Pros
- Effectively enables legacy IE and Silverlight applications to run within Edge, solving compatibility issues.
- The Auto-URL feature provides seamless access for users without manual adjustments.
- Good functionality for managing CCTV camera devices and similar legacy systems.
- Allows users to continue using older applications without re-enabling Edge's built-in IE compatibility every 30 days.
Cons
- The add-on is no longer free, moving to a paid license (around $19 per user), which users find expensive.
- Requires downloading and installing an additional executable file (ietabhelper.exe) raising security concerns.
- Trial period is limited to two weeks, after which a license must be purchased.
- Some users report crashes or instability with latest Edge browser updates.
- Users express dissatisfaction with the pricing model and feel baited after previous free usage.

It was wonderful.
I used it to manage my CCTV camera (dvr) devices. It helped me a lot and works well. Thanks to the production team.
