We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice
"The pricing is a bit high and I believe that it can be brought down."
"ASP.NET is an open-source solution."
"I think ASP.NET, in deployment, is something that's quite costly when you're on a cloud provider such as Azure, and you have to pay the server cost. On average, it can cost approximately $1,000 per month to host a good site with a few databases."
"The solution requires a licensing fee but is worth the investment."
"The solution is open source and free."
"ASP.NET is open-source and free of charge."
"This is a free solution. However, we have some server licensing costs which are not directly a cost of using the solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, with one being cost efficient and 10 being the most expensive, I would rate ASP.NET's pricing at six.
There used to be IAF, which you could spin on a Windows machine. However, that sort of setup does not exist for Linux machines. Because customers still prefer a Windows underlying infrastructure, it can get expensive."
ASP.NET is a free web framework for building web sites, apps and services with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
JBuilder is one of the most complete and powerful Java IDEâs available with support for the leading commercial and open source Java EE 5 application servers. JBuilderâs code profiling and performance tuning tools, which include the ability to profile Web applications, enable Java developers to deliver high performing, scalable applications. With the built-in audits and metrics, you can measure the overall quality of the object design, the complexity and cohesion between objects, the extent of test coverage, and many other factors to help pinpoint potential maintenance, quality and performance issues. To maximize developer productivity JBuilder includes several visual designers including EJB and JPA Designers enabling developers to create a visual model as they develop EJB applications and enable the creation of a Java modeling project with JPA support, a Web Services Designer which provides a visual, two-way designer for creating Axis based Web Service-enabled applications, and a Swing UI Designer for fast, easy creation of Swing-based UIs. And, with LiveSource you have the added benefit of simultaneous synchronization between the code and diagrams when making changes to either one.
