I have recently been looking at BlueDragon 6.2 and have been comparing it with ColdFusion MX 7. I would like to do a series of comparisons and ask you to respond and/or added your own comparisons to this list:
I have found that BD only supports CFML as it stands with CF 6. The price for BlueDragon Server JX is $899, whereas CF 7 Personal is $1,299 - but is the costs saved worth sacrificing the new feature set in CF 7? BD Server JX comes with ServletExec, New Atlanta's J2EE from what I understand. This is included in the $899 price. However, to run BD on Tomcat, JRun or any other J2EE server the price for a 2CPU server is $5,999 - that doesn't include the cost of the J2EE server. However, CF 7 Enterprise comes with JRun for the same price - $5,999. Is ServletExec comparable to JRun? If not, why pay $5,999 for BD Server J2EE PLUS $899 for JRun when you can buy CF 7 Enterprise with JRun included for $5,999? 3 General Questions: 1. Does BD Server JX compare to CF 6 Standard or Enterprise? 2. Will BD soon include the new CF 7 feature set? 3. Is ServletExec comparable to enterprise J2EE servers? I would appreciate whatever feedback you may have and I look forward to hearing from someone at New Atlanta. -Aaron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:229792 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
