Le comparatif est public donc vous pouvez ajouter les critères qui vous semblent pertinents. (Seul DemoCreator / Fraps / Pixetell ne sont pas modifiables mais vous pouvez suggérer des modifications à leur éditeur respectif) Vous pouvez aussi faire "enregistrer sous" pour réutiliser le contenu en faisant une version plus orienté e-learning les valeurs des critères réutilisés seront modifiés sur les deux comparatifs.
