The ideal (in my own opinion) tool would be one that doesn't need to be
installed on a computer and can run on any platform (Linux, Windows
etc.)
Perhaps Java-based, therefore. Not many fit these requirements. Many
require the installation of numerous DLLs or outside libraries and
frameworks (.NET
is one example).

      Spider is a good but not what I think my end users can handle.
