We're IBM partners, not resellers. We handle large-scale enterprise projects. I can't recall what version number we have right now, but we are using the current version of RFT. It is 100% compatible with all sorts of database integrations and is compatible with all types of open source TFT-based applications, which makes it a great product to have. I'd advise others to first evaluate the product. IBM provides new users with a 30 or 60-day evaluation period whereby companies can try out the solution. Companies should leverage this and use the product and all of its tools. They will be able to make all sorts of scripts. It will give users a lot of good hands-on experience to get a feel for IBM. If it works well, they can then get a license. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten overall.

"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."

Pricing
