Macromedia's ColdFusion MX 7.0 and Zend Technologies Zend Platform 1.1 with Zend Studio 4 are reviewed, updated Web application builders that have the power to support industrial-strength corporate work. ColdFusion MX 7 is rated excellent for developer features and gets good marks for interoperability, administration, and scalability. ColdFusion MX 7 retains easy tagging and superior language found in earlier versions and now has much more power and enterprise level functionality for creation and delivery of Web applications. ColdFusion MX 7 will probably not be the overwhelming choice and will probably not replace Java servers for the largest implementations. However, it can work well for just about all corporate Web applications. An important addition to ColdFusion MX 7 is the ability to create multi-server configurations and clusters of identical servers and ColdFusion applications. During testing, built-in multi-server features worked only with JRun. Also new are event gateways allowing construction of ColdFusion applications that do not need the Web, but developers must be able to use ColdFusion Components effectively. Zend Platform 1.1 with Zend Studio 4 is rated good for developer features, interoperability, administration, and scalability. Pricing is affordable and Zend Platform 1.1 with Zend Studio 4 makes PHP an appealing Web application choice in enterprises. With server management and monitoring and Studio able development features, Zend can enable PHP to meet demanding corporate requirements.
