Hi a1234587, if that is indeed your real name :) I've been using RedDot now, as an implementer, for slightly more than 6 years and I whole heatedly disagree with your post.
RedDot is not a terrible piece of software, and it doesn't have a HUGE amount of problems, although I guess that's a relative term, and really depends on how things have been setup for you. There are several very large websites powered by RedDot, and they seem to be up and running. It has it's quirks, same as any other software, but if it were a bunch of crap (my words, not yours), it would have tanked years ago because people wouldn't by it. In the end, the benefits far outweigh the glitches. If you think the amount of $ a client pays for the software, think about how much the executives at Hummingbird, and later OpenText paid to acquire it. People are always going to complain about it, because people like to complain - I like to complain. The complaints only gain credibility when a better option can be shown, for the same price. Sounds like you just had a bad day - or maybe a bad year - I've had some "I hate RedDot" days but in the end, I love working with the product. Kinda like my love/hate relationship with the stuff Microsoft puts out, but it's kept me employed for 12 years. I notice this is your only post to the group - maybe we can help you with your frustrations - if you post them here. In any event, hope your RedDot problems improve! Wayne.
