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

"No need to import libraries from outside the environment."
"Overall, Adobe ColdFusion has been a very reliable and productive platform for us."
"I find it to be the easiest server-side technology for website development. It easily integrates with virtually everything– from web APIs to NoSQL databases to RSS and XML services."
"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)."
"This tool was very easy learn, yet powerful enough to manage many sites on a single instance."
"Previously, creating an admin panel took us 10 to 15 days, but now we are able to create it in one to two hours, which is very useful for us."
"I believe that developing with ColdFusion saved me about 25% time compared to Java and PHP projects."
"Adobe ColdFusion improved productivity; when you improve your productivity, you translate that into quicker deployment that saves time and reduces the learning curve, so in real terms, you reduce your deployment time and do not have to spend as much time, meaning productivity is good and you don't waste too much money on costs or have to pay overtime and other expenses, allowing you to reduce those kinds of accelerated costs."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"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."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."
"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."
"The solution is stable."
"Using HipTest makes the testing process easy and its support for Behavior Driven Development helps align all the team members, whether technical or non-technical."
 

Cons

"As a small type of business, I think Adobe ColdFusion is more suited for high-level business time models."
"Regarding Adobe ColdFusion's AI capabilities, the learning curve is significant."
"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."
"Adobe ColdFusion can be improved if there was an AI feature integrated through prompt engineering, which would be very helpful, though I have not checked for that in an updated version."
"My major concern is the fact that Adobe is not actively pushing the development of ColdFusion since they bought Macromedia."
"The solution needs to improve its adaption capability with a third-party company. I want to see more communities or open knowledge resources with the tool."
"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."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."
"I would like to see better customer support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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