Report Excerpt

The Enterprise Portals Report 2009 looks at... BEA AquaLogic User Interaction 6.1

"While some customers have opted to use ALUI for publicly-facing sites, the available portlets and nature of the architecture makes it hard to meet the needs of a high-performance or transactional website, where other products (including WLP) might be a better fit."

(p. 103)

BEA will keep Plumtree as separate portal product until 2007

09-Dec-2005

In a recent outline of their portal consolidation plans, BEA announced that they will keep both portal product lines, BEA WebLogic Portal and the acquired Plumtree, throughout 2006. Plumtree recently released G6 of their portal product, which BEA is rebadging as "AquaLogic User Interaction." It is interesting to note that BEA added Plumtree to the AquaLogic family rather than the WebLogic family. According to BEA, this "puts a face to SOA", but one could argue that so does (or should) WebLogic Portal. Very few vendors have successfully maintained multiple product lines with such an overlap for a longer period of time, and it remains to be seen how it will impact sales. The migration from both products to the combined release could be a major issue in 2007 for existing customers.
