To be fair, I did put forward FarCry for review as our potential replacement for an internal CMS, it didn't meet our criteria on a few counts but the main stumbling points were from the features the big boys in the company wanted and from info they read on cms watch etc.
I can post what these were next week for debate :-) I like FarCry, a lot, but when I reviewed other systems it was good but not the best in other 'enterprise class' systems.

It's fortunate that you can rewrite the UI for every element of FarCry to make it as simplistic as you need. The zero programming effort, "out of the box" solution cannot be all things to all people, all the time.

Many of us in the FarCry community use FarCry for *very* large and complex installations every day. We often wonder how it is we ever managed with such a simplistic application framework. The proof is in the pudding -- when you build enterprise class applications time and time again with a product it stands to reason that you come to associate the platform as being "enterprise". But then I guess it depends on what on earth the class of "enterprise" means to you. geoff http://www.fullasagoog.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:262576 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
