IBM's WebSphere Beats Competition in Application Server User Satisfaction Survey
Business Wire, Oct 1, 2008
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. -- Application server developers and users ranked IBM's WebSphere higher than application servers offered by Oracle, Microsoft, Adobe, and four others in the 2008 Evans Data Corp. Application Server Users' Choice survey announced today.
In the worldwide survey of over 700 developers, only users of each application server rated the corresponding product on twenty-one different attributes including performance, scalability, support, database connectivity, and security features. In addition the developers rated the importance of each attribute to provide relative weighting. WebSphere took top scores in ten out of the twenty-one categories as well as in combined overall score.
"WebSphere has raised the bar in user satisfaction for full featured enterprise scale application servers," said John Andrews, president and CEO of Evans Data Corp. "But it's more than just an excellent product, IBM has also surrounded WebSphere with the top rated support program and the comprehensive Rational tool suite, and these users obviously appreciate that."
The Applications Server User's Choice report details users' rankings for each of eight application servers included in the study and can be found here: http://evansdata.com/reports/viewRelease.php?reportID=20
Evans Data provides its Users' Choice reports to the IT community free of charge as a public service. Users' Choice reports cover several areas of satisfaction and interest to developers and IT managers, such as IDEs, application lifecycle and source control management, developer programs, scripting languages and more.
