Where Do You Go for Worthwhile Product Reviews?

Posted by Cliff on from the head-to-head dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "What's the deal with reviews and product comparisons? My boss wants independent comparative reviews of proxy and web servers to use to make/justify his decision. We all know that what the vendors write about their own (and competitive) products, so I tried searching for 3rd party reviews. I can find heaps of articles on the web telling us how great IIS is or how good Microsoft's Proxy server is, but nothing showing a back-to-back comparison of Squid vs. Sun Java Proxy vs. Microsoft Proxy, and the same for Apache and IIS. What's happening here? Where can I find an honest back-to-back product comparison?"

    'Why can't I find any good information regarding the superiority of any given race over any other given race?'

    Because you've never spent an afternoon with La Griffe du Lion.

    Be afraid, people, be very, very afraid.
