Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

      Bill, there are many other applications with similar MSRP that have equal of greater feature sets that are not compared. Only lesser product were addressed. I think that was the issue.

          More important than move a desktop to the WEB, when will desktop and WEB share a common code base

            Most of the products you listed have price tags way beyond the cost of Alpha. What are the ones that have similar DEPLOYMENT price tags to Alpha?

            Isn't the object of a sales comparison chart to SELL product, not drive customers to your competitors?

            What company publishes comparison charts that show that it is better to buy the other guys product?


            Why are you an Alpha customer if there are so many other choices that are superior?

              The price is comparable if you look at Alpha's List Price of the 3 products!

                Really?

                Pricing from Servoy's website:
                In order to develop your applications you will need a Servoy Developer license. You can purchase those in our on-line store at $849 per developer seat. The annual maintenance fee is $227.

                Traditional concurrency-based deployment: With Servoy you are able to deploy your application in multiple ways by using our Smart Client or our Web Client. Both can be deployed by using our concurrency-based licensing model. A single concurrent license starts at $349 and goes down based on volume. See our on-line store, fill-in the number of licenses you need and see the price go down. For volumes over 100, please contact our sales staff. There is annual maintenance available which is highly recommended.

                SaaS deployment:
                Our Web (browser) Client can also be deployed by making use of our CPU, dual-CPU and Server-based pricing. This is particularly attractive for SaaS deployments where it is difficult to estimate the number of concurrent users at any one given time. The pricing for that is as follows:
                Dual Core license: $27,500 (up to two cores in total in server, unlimited number of users, scales based on hardware)
                Four Core license: $37,500 (up to four cores in total in server, unlimited number of users, scales based on hardware)
                Server license: $75,000 (unlimited number of cores, unlimited number of users, scales based on hardware)

                  I hate to quote myself, but getting back to the issue of the comparison chart, you negelected to respond to the other questions I posed to you.

                    Bill, Servey Developer is FREE to developers, and yes the full version. The SaaS version is applicable for installations of 1000 concurrent users. WEB services do not need the SaaS version. It is targeted to clients like Google, Amazon etc...

                      The information that I posted is from the Servoy website. Who do I believe? You or them?? Doesn't really matter because it is not an option for me. Even with a free development copy, I have hundreds of users. Are the client copies free as well?

                            Essentially the license limitation means: if you don't make money with it you can use the Community edition, if you do make money with it we expect you to purchase a normal license. This allows you to develop community products with Servoy, use it as a learning tool, distribute demo versions of your application, etc.

                              Agreed
                              PS my point was it is not the current version (5) but version 4.

                                Servoy sent me V5 free of charge! The point to this is not anything connected to costs, rather that products can support WEB and Desktop with a single code base!
