Rapid web delivery has improved productivity and now supports faster multi‑client deployments
Adobe ColdFusion should continue modernization with AI and other new technologies. While plugins already exist, the product needs to stay ahead of the curve in making new development changes and fast bug enhancements with new features. Regarding Adobe ColdFusion's AI capabilities, you don't want to have everything used automatically via AI. You always want to have control and validation. Someone has to review it, press the button, and approve it before deployments take place. Even with the AI feature, you always want that particular transition where someone has to manually do it. AI is good and can reduce so many things, but you want to have a fail-safe mechanism. Regarding Adobe ColdFusion's AI capabilities, the learning curve is significant. It is a new AI capability, but it is not currently 100 percent. I would say it is about 60 to 70 percent. The technology with AI is new, and the product should continue to improve. There are always gaps that need to be addressed.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"When evaluating the tangible effects of Adobe ColdFusion on our workflow, the major benefit is convenience."
"We have reduced the development time by around 25 to 30 percent, and user satisfaction is very high since we can deliver features faster."
"This tool was very easy learn, yet powerful enough to manage many sites on a single instance."
"We save enormous amounts of time in development using this tool."
"No need to import libraries from outside the environment."
"Adobe ColdFusion has improved development speed and streamlined our internal business processes by saving around 20 hours per week after implementation, which we previously spent with other applications."
"I would like to say that its best feature is its different kinds of connectors. We have lots of in-built connectors."
"Among the most valuable features are an almost unlimited set of tags (ready-to-use components), which accelerate development in at least 50%, compared to other development languages that I have used (PHP, JavaServer Pages, .NET, and Node.js)."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."
"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"The solution is stable."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The power of Hiptest is its test cases and campaign management."
"Integration with automation frameworks, keywords, and tags allows for saving time writing test cases and implementing automation."
 

Cons

"Regarding Adobe ColdFusion's AI capabilities, the learning curve is significant."
"Installation of the server software was formidable due the number of configurable options."
"Overall, Adobe ColdFusion is a good product, but one area in modernization of the ecosystem can be improved."
"Need to be able to Be able to inject Python, Java, Groovy, or PHP code into a CFML page."
"In terms of improvement, Adobe ColdFusion is already top-tier in terms of runtime engine for large data and document generation, but I suggest reevaluating the licensing model to shift away from perpetual licenses to more flexible consumption-based licensing models, making it a pay-as-you-use system rather than a flat annual server fee."
"Adobe ColdFusion can be improved by modernizing the development experience, enhancing performance for large-scale applications, and providing more built-in integrations and modern cloud services."
"Previously when I was trying to create some data, it was very difficult to get real-time data from Workfront."
"ColdFusion’s third-party authentication is currently limited to just a couple of companies, like Google and Facebook, and a few third-party SAML authenticators. From my personal perspective, adding LinkedIn and Microsoft would greatly benefit me."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a very effective solution and worth the price."
"If you really want to save money, there is a free open source CFML engine (former Railo, now Lucee) out there."
"The tool's pricing is high but it's totally worth the investment."
