More on Open Source Portals

The level of feedback I receive to my articles is a good indication of how much interest (or perhaps confusion!) there is about the topic being discussed. My June newsletter article on open source portals (The Role of Open Source in Enterprise Portals) generated a lot of e-mail. This confirms the increasing interest in open source solutions.

One open source portal I missed out was Jboss Portal 2 (www.jboss.com). If you have any experience with this portal or any of the other portals mentioned in the article I would love to hear from you.

You also missed: eXo, Stringbeans and Gridsphere.

I have used Liferay and I like it alot. I've setup eXo and it is pretty good, but somewhat "busy". The good thing about eXo is that it has an Eclipse plugin. It works pretty good.

A comment on your newsletter article: I would say that a 5th point in choosing opensource is "Can you move up (or down) the ladder"? For example, I can Tomcat or JBoss and later move to Websphere. Or, for example, I could start with JPOX and move to Kodo JDO. Another way to put it - "will it lock me?" Sometimes there is no choice but to be locked in.

Liferay is currently running in production within several major Fortune 100 enterprises and is the only portal certified to scale to 384 CPUs (Azul Systems). It also has been validated by several third parties as the most secure portal (commercial or open source)...
