ColdFusion ranked amongst favourite App Servers

A recent survey by Evans Data of 700 developers worldwide has ranked ColdFusion amongst one of the best Application Servers. 21 Characteristics of application servers were rated by participants that they had personally used – ranging from performance through to value to cost ratio. So this survey reflects the true opinions and perceptions of the real users of the products!

The survey pitted ColdFusion against the likes of IBM Webshere, Jboss and Windows Server 2003 (????) with ColdFusion coming out a very respectable 4th behind WebSphere, Apache Geronimo and Windows Server, just ahead of JBoss by a narrow margin. Of the 21 characteristics ColdFusion scalability, support, security features and performance received the highest ratings.

It’s a free report and makes and interesting read so it’s worth taking a read and certainly dispels the ‘ColdFusion is dead’ stories that occasionally appear.
