guys,
as someone who has been dealing with theses issues for over 1 1/2 years of
using orion (1 year in production for a number of applications) I would
just advise you to save your breath and make your decision based on what's
there now. several people (including myself) have made pleas like you a
number of times and not much has changed but I (or better we) have decided
that orion has reached a level of maturity that is ok for us and that it is
an unbeatable deal for certain requirements if you can live the risks that
are certainly there. we now know, which features are reliable and we stick
to using those only. there are probably a number of major bugs still
waiting to be discovered which might cause serious problems in your
projects without any guarantee when they will be fixed. my advice is, set
up your system, test extensively and then decide whether to buy or not (if
you can afford that approach, of course). if you cannot live without that
extra bit of security, you'll have to spend a heck of a lot more money for
similar features. it's a trade-off but don't bet on anything happening at
ironflare that hasn't happened yet.
best regards,
robert
