Features:
CheckMan has gone over 14 years without an update, and the software has very limited features. While the website is newly designed for 2012, the software is reminiscent of Windows 95 software with its bright teal database tabs and backgrounds. It has one option called file fixer that will fix your database file if it gets tangled up.  It will produce a draft of a check or a check and allows you to add a logo, but will not print an item that is Check21 compliant.

Ease of Use
The software installed on my Windows XP but not on my Windows 7 and I was able to use it right away. There was documentation about every function.

How It Works at the Bank
The drafts that I printed did not work with my desktop deposit, and it did not work at the auto-scan "no envelope" ATM either.  I enclosed one test as a deposit into my business account from my personal account and my bank teller took it and manually entered it in.  When it came back in my statement it was jacketed, so the item had to be altered and manually processed before clearing.

Installation Ease
I downloaded a fully working version with no identity verification as required under current KYC regulations. It installed with no issue on my XP machine but did not work on my Windows 7 PC. It had no errors or issues and took only about 2 minutes to have up and running.

Help and Support
Their support is open 10-6 M-F. I did not use the email based support so I cannot rate it.

The Full Picture
CheckMan software is promoted by Capital Bank Drafts online through a newly designed website for 2012, but the software being distributed by them is 14 years old and copyright 1998. The reality of CheckMan Software is that for the $129 to $949 you spend, you get software that won't work with desktop deposit or new ATMs, it won't work with Windows 7 and could come off the market because they make a fully working downloadable demo available without any authentication at their site. 

CheckMan is mediocre performance from a dinosaur for a premium price. This reviewer's advice is steer clear of this one.
