Senior Web Developer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/30/2017 "A Solid CF IDE" 4/5 What do you like best about ColdFusion Builder? ColdFusion Builder has great code hints when developing.

Graduate Student Intern Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/23/2016 "Web Application Development made Easy" 4/5 What do you like best about ColdFusion Builder? PDF generating feature is possible without any additional coding and such a document can be sent to another client or saved on the disk. It also comes up with Apache Tomcat server built-in.

RS Roman S. President Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/8/2016 "Still simple and useful but might be dying" 4/5 What do you like best about ColdFusion Builder? I love ColdFusion syntax. I've been working with it for about 10 years, and I think it's very easy to read and quick to develop new things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ColdFusion Builder? The industry has a negative view on the language for some reason, most likely from way back when it was so easy to use that a lot of non-developers started using it for development and ruined the reputation. There are probably better lower cost alternatives available today, but it's still an amazing product, although the latest version has been getting some bad press. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering ColdFusion Builder: Node.js and Angular.js would be pretty awesome to use as a back-end and front-end tools. Many ColdFusion developers have switched to Ruby on Rails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ColdFusion Builder solving and how is that benefiting you? I've been able to single-handedly develop an scoring system to run major golf tournaments in ColdFusion with SQL Server. It's very quick to get new concepts developed. Many advanced tasks like PDF creation and parsing can be done with just one line of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
