• Poor quality

  mlokhandwalaJuly 22, 2006

  Pros

  GUI is fine

  Cons

  Buggy code, memory leaks. <p> <p>We are now in the process of rewriting the EDI service completely independent of Mapforce. Our first module dealing with EDI X12-850, was implemented within two weeks, and takes about 200 KB of RAM, in comparison to several MB consumed by Altova generated code. Within a couple of more weeks, we will have rooted out Mapforce from our EDI implementation. Our EDI code is configurable via XML mapping files, and thus as flexible as Mapforce itself, without the GUI. <p> <p>I have taken this time to write this article to express my frustration and anguish with Altova. It is downright cheating on their part to release such a product and call it ‘Enterprise Edition’, when clearly it cannot be used in enterprise class software development.
