For example I use it seamlessly with Amazon S3 storage, to read and write. Use it with the latest Bootstrap releases and it plays nicely living on the same server with PHP on my Linux boxes.

Information Technology and Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/8/2016 "15 years building Enterprise Solutions with ColdFusion" 5/5 What do you like best about ColdFusion Builder? Creating a proof of concept application is a breeze, using either procedural or OO coding styles. Using a mature MVC framework like ColdBox with its related testing and mock up tools, it's quite easy to build extremely secure applications of any size. The latest versions of ColdFusion include native functionality to sanitize user input, secure against Cross-Site Scripting attacks and protect against the rest of OWASP Top Ten list. Connecting to various databases, cloud services and other systems are relatively easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ColdFusion Builder? The native functions to create UI controls and JavaScript form validation should never be used. There are much more mature JavaScript libraries that can handle that type of functionality very easily. They need the ability to disable groups of functionality like those at the server level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering ColdFusion Builder: 1. Run through the tutorials at http://learncfinaweek.com/. 2. Look into the ColdBox MVC framework http://www.coldbox.org/. 3. There is a lot of FUD spread about ColdFusion. If someone hasn't used the product in the last five years and have never used it in an enterprise environment, they have no real basis for comment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have built N-tier web application with ColdFusion for many lines of business including Securities, Travel Reservation, Language Management, Inventory Management, Document Management, Auto Insurance (Claims, Payments, etc.), 401k Plan Management, K - 12 Testing and Real Estate / Foreclosure Workflow Management. I have used it to solve problems from integrating with multiple payment processors to applying complex pricing algorithms across large inventories to automating banking and government workflows related to residential properties. It's been my experience that teams using ColdFusion can deliver secure and accurate applications more quickly than comparable teams using other technology stacks (e.g. Java, PHP, .NET).

ColdFusion is an easy to use scripting language that still competes in the dynamic, web application space. Often dismissed as an "also ran", ColdFusion is a platform that is still in use on many high traffic websites, and also supports real time credit card transactions and e-commerce. In my more than twenty years using this excellent product, I have yet to find a problem I couldn't solve with it. I have written website scraping apps for currency conversion, a shopping cart, and many data transformation applications. Still a very worthy investment and still a contender. Love it!!!
