What Customers and Analysts Say About Uniface

Industry Analysts

"Service-oriented architectures bring the promise of easy integration but this can not be at the sacrifice of performance and scalability. Organizations that successfully deploy composite applications will require proven standards-based integration capabilities that maintain developer productivity."

—Tom Murphy
Vice President, Research Services, META Group

"Organizations are looking for a proven, enterprise-capable, unified development environment that is productive and able to integrate with a range of technologies including legacy applications and new .NET and J2EE services and components. Most organizations are evolving their application development and deployment to new J2EE and .NET architectures, and as part of this transition, many are looking for recognized leaders in the traditional client/server AD tools market."

—Michael Blechar
Research Vice President, Gartner, Inc.

"It's never been more important for organizations to be able to develop agile business applications in a way that minimizes risk, ensures flexibility, and increases IT and business productivity. Uniface from Compuware is one development environment meeting these challenges head-on by enabling organizations to move a services-oriented architecture while leveraging its long-standing experience in delivering scalable, distributed solutions."

—David Kelly
President, Upside Research

"Despite the popularity of packaged applications, many enterprises still need to develop custom applications, or have a requirement to make them work in composite applications. Some users are looking for new versions of proven familiar stand-bys to fill this need."

Customers

"Uniface was the product that suited our management goals best overall. One of our most important goals was to obtain an integrated development environment for both client/server and web applications. We realized that with Uniface—and particularly with its support for Web services—we would be able to achieve this goal."

—Hans Vynckier
Application Architect, Datakor

"Thanks to native management of the SOAP protocol, Uniface is capable of managing applications that are genuinely multi-tiered with near transparency for us. This evolution toward an architecture based on Web services is a strategic decision we have decided to support."

—Dominique Larsonneur
Director of Development, Symphonie On Line

"Choosing the right sort of technology with which to build an application is really one of those decisions you make that determines whether your company succeeds or not. We made the right choice with Uniface. We looked at a whole range of products. One of the more interesting points to make is that of all those we evaluated, Uniface is the only one that’s still standing today. We took a leap of faith, made a decision, and it’s still a good decision. We’re a happy, long-time customer of Uniface."
