Posted by michael on from the selling-out dept.

"Because performance assurance is becoming an integral step in the development of Java enterprise applications, selling the OptimizeIt products with JBuilder makes great sense for Java developers.""

    Well, first, you are talking about the Enterprise version of the product. That product comes with a total of about 5k USD worth of software including Borland Enterprise Server, Interbase, JDataStore, etc. Sounds like a pretty good deal, from my perspective.

    If you want a less expensive product, check out the professional version. If you want to go *real* cheap you can always download the personal version for free...

    Also, if you don't feel the product is worth 3 grand, then just don't buy it! Vote with your wallet.

    FWIW, yea I'd like to see it be cheaper also, but that aside it *is* a very good product. Certainly better than most of the AS/400 titles out there.. ;-P
