Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... Tridion's content delivery architecture

"At its core, R5 wants to be a bundled management and delivery system, although it can pre-generate HTML and supports a mixed model of static/dynamic delivery. Architecturally, the product is really two distinct environments. On the CMS side, the technology is all Microsoft - a somewhat dated COM architecture. We've seen Tridion salespeople describe this back end as .NET-based. It's not. "

(p. 348)

Our customers say

"This excellent report has saved weeks of work reviewing the market place to enable a tender to be sent out to just a handful of potential vendors in record time. Well done.

Tridion scrounging for dirt

23-Nov-2005   --  

In a CMS marketplace with 1800 vendors, you shouldn't be surprised when one casts aspersions on another. Still, this message from a Tridion marketing guy to an Apache-Cocoon developer asking the latter for any FUD about Plone (nominally a competitor to Cocoon) is illuminating. [Via Paul Everitt.] To be sure, I can't vouch for the message's authenticity, and I second the commentator who noted that open-source adherents frequently disparage competitors as well. Still, always best to heed to your mother's advice about people who don't have good things to say...
