Well, I guess I hit a nerve there, didn’t I. All what I intended to do was to point out that something like Metadata and a Wildscard search should be in any system, no matter if it is ours or somebody else. Especially search!

If you read my post as something that customers should be aware of, instead of bashing some other system, then you see what I mean.

No picking or putting down competitors intended.

While I’m glad to see that you are excited about your project, this tone of incredulous suprise that some competitor doesn’t match your features just strikes me as immature. I have no idea what enterprise system you are talking about, and it could very well suck, but just because they don’t match up with you feature by feature doesn’t necissarily mean you are better.

You complain about slick marketers, but all this blog post does is have a pissing contest over bullet point features from your whitepaper. How is that any better?

For all I know the system you are bashing had other primary concerns such as scaling to 20,000 users, or maybe they had to develop a workflow and feature set that matched up with huge brick and mortar companies that wouldn’t know what to do with metadata if it bit them in the butt.

Either way, I’d suggest dropping the negativity and concentrating on why you are good, and not on why they are bad. All it does is open the door to people bashing your software the first time it pukes or doesn’t have some arcane feature that a particular company needs.
