I am on a project using tzunami, and it is not without its problems – but one 
thing it has over echo (beside the ridiculous pricing) is that it exists. As 
far as I know echo still doesn’t have a production version – or maybe I am out 
of date?

I was on an airplane with Tzunami’s CTO (totally by accident – we found 
ourselves sitting across from one another) a month ago, and I asked about echo 
– he said that his price is about a tenth of what Echo are asking – but then 
again, I didn’t a quote from Echo.

Now – the reall question is why do you need a deployment tool for! I chose 
tzunami because it offers great value for data migration from sharepoint 2003 
to sharepoint 2007, but it also supports other systems. However – it is 100% 
data oriented – if it isn’t a file or a list item, it won’t get migrated. 
Permissions and so on can be mapped and set and they have a decent rule wizard 
to specify rules automatically, but it is not a tool I’d use for repeatable 
scenarios (something like “run this job every night”).

For migration between sharepoint 2007 servers I’d suggest you look at 
metalogix. We had them present here in Canberra because I was so impressed with 
the two products that they have just for that – but again, they have limits to 
what the tool can do. This is my tool of choice for migrating content between a 
staging server to production server – because I can schedule it to run a job, 
and it is very very flexible (just not good enough for a complex migration 
between different environments).

Subject: [OzMOSS] Tzunami Deployer Vs Echo for SharePoint...and others

Dear All,
I currently have a client who is weighing up Echo technologies deployer Vs. 
Tzunami deployer and they are keen to find out the following:

a)     Which is better (value, features, ease of use)?

b)    Which has better support?

c)     Which is cheaper?

d)    Can they both deploy webparts, content, masterpages, lists, document 
libraries, permissions, metadata, content types etc

Are there any other deployment tools you would recommend??

If you could let me know your experiences and thoughts on the above that would 
be awesome.

Cheers,
Aaron
