Or in the case of a lot of vendors we won't mention - blatant lies.
- 16s 14y agoVendors lie. That is the sole truth of IT purchasing. When testing network gear, some of our network engineers would say, "Vendors lie, but packets don't".
- cluda01 14y agoNice quote! More generally when considering any solution you should always test it in your environment according to your performance needs BEFORE you buy it. Any vendor worth their salt will let you do this.
- gouranga 14y agoFrom experience, that's pretty much no vendor these days. I will say positive things for Microsoft: you can always trial their software before you buy it.
- cluda01 14y agoWe tested Azul Systems Zing JVM (pauseless GC) inhouse. They sent out support engineers and gave us great presentations to boot. Good company.
- dredmorbius 14y agoAre you specifically not mentioning Oracle by any chance?
- gouranga 14y agoI'm specifically making no comment on that ;-)
- jacques_chester 14y agoAnd according to the standard Oracle contract ... you can't.
- gouranga 14y agoThey didn't say you can't make no comment though!
