We use Midas for a suite of about 6 large applications at about 50 sites.
We have been using socket server (nude DCOM is/was much to hard to setup)
was but have started to switch everything to MTS. This is proving to be
much more stable, a snap to deploy, easier to develop and much faster
(allthough ADO helps too).
Initially, we had a bit of a learning curve and Delphi 3 Midas was a lot
harder than Delphi 5 Midas. There are also some strange things to deal with
but in general Midas was well worth the expense.
For me, it comes down to whether or not you want to use data aware controls.
I like them and I have never had any problems with them. If we hadn't
used Midas (or a similar scheme) and still wanted 3 tier then we would have
had to give up da controls and do a lot more work. Midas paid for it'self
in this respect.
In summary, if you can afford it, go for it. There are similar products now
that may work for you (Asta?).
