I agree with this statement. Legal issues aside, you can expend
significant time and effort on protecting your code and a competitor can
just copy the style, workflow and application logic with probably about
as much effort as it would take to decompile the byte code, tidy it up &
get their devs to understand how it works.
In fact, the latter would probably be *more* effort, and you can't use
technical means to defend against the former.
If you're really paranoid about your code, don't let it out of your
control, run your app as a hosted service, (as previously suggested).
As Leon says: focus your efforts on making a truly great product and let
other people worry about keeping up with you.

How could we achieve this without the above tool? Because the pricing of
the
above tool is very costly.
Well, you could always spend the developer-years to create your own
version
of that tool... which would probably be *more* costly.
I'll add something to that, just for the sake of it.
I personally find this situation ironic : here we have someone who wants to
protect their own code, presumably so that they can charge the customer for
a copy of it, in order to get back their cost of development and some
justified profit for their work.
But the same people are apparently unwilling to pay for a product that
would allow them to do so, and is sold on the same terms.
