Benefit |
Status |
| Comprehensive Solution | Basics are good |
| Easy to Swap Out Components | All major Keel services have at least 2, and sometimes as many as 5 different implementations. Virtually every major UI framework is supported, and adding a new implementation is often a matter of hours, or at most days. |
| Standards Compliant | 100% standards based, while still allowing for customization and flexibility |
| Security | Built-in, JAAS Based, automatic and flexible, from high-level to fine-grained. |
| Easy to Develop an App | Developers concentrate on their business logic, not on creating basic infrastructure - while at the same time not becoming tied to any one implementation of a service. The best of both worlds. |
| Training/Support Available | Both free and commercial support available, as well as high-quality professional training. Customers very pleased. |
| Best Of Breed Implementations | O/R, JAAS, Struts/Cocoon/Velocity and many others! See "Modules" page in Wiki, or the "Services" page for complete list. |
| Strong Developers Mail-List | Sometimes a bit too strong, if anything. |
| Good Press | Numerous positive Keel articles published. See website and/or wiki page. |
| No Vendor Lock In | 100% |
| Future Proof | Keel's infinitely extensible backbone and service-based architecture keep your investment in application development safe. |
| Complete Control over Features | Total choice over which services are used and which are not, for everything from basic web application all the way up to full grid-like distributed systems. |
