All-Access Analyst Review

Embarcadero has published on its web site an interesting review of All-Access.

Embarcadero has published on its web site an interesting review of All-Access, providing an overview and comparing it with similar offerings (mostly MSDN). It is not meant for programmers, but can be used to convince your boss... (found in a tweet by Ludo).

All-Access Analyst Review 

 Greetings Marco,

I have greatly enjoyed your writings over the years.

Here is how I made my calculation to go with All-
Access.

First, I added up all the cost, if I were a new 
user.  It came to over $36,000.  So let's just say 
35k, to be safe.

Second, I did happen to have purchased Delphi 2007 
BDS, so I qualified for the upgrade price.

Third, I was going to purchase Delphi 2009 Architect 
and JBuilder 2008 anyway, which came to about $2,500.

Fourth, the discount price I ended up paying was in 
the $4,600 range (i don't know where they received 
the impression that I was in an iron lung machine ... 
just joking).

Fifth, subtract $2,500 from $4,600, and I received a 
boat load of enterprise-level software, including 
Delphi Prism, ER Studio (great product), etc., for 
about $2,100.  If I never use half the software, its 
still a fantastic buy.  

What really sold me was that although it's 
an 'Annual' pass, the software keeps working after a 
year; you just stop getting free updates.  So ... if 
I do this every other year, the cost is REALLY low, 
if you ask me.

Woo Hoo!!!

See you in San Jose,

Keith
