Hi Dave,
here is a very brief product diff you may want to use. We are preparing a
point-by-point diff now.
We think that Radiator is better than Funk for these reasons:
1. Runs on a _much_ wider range of hardware and operating systems
2. Full source provided
3. Much more flexible (you can combine and chain authentication methods to
solve very unusual authentication requirements, as well as all the common ones)
4. Authenticates from a much wider range of user databases. Works with
almost any SQL database schema on any SQL database, not just the one provided
by the vendor.
5. Much less expensive
6. More reliable
7. Better support
Cheers.
