Rapid web delivery has improved productivity and now supports faster multi‑client deployments
Adobe ColdFusion should continue modernization with AI and other new technologies. While plugins already exist, the product needs to stay ahead of the curve in making new development changes and fast bug enhancements with new features. Regarding Adobe ColdFusion's AI capabilities, you don't want to have everything used automatically via AI. You always want to have control and validation. Someone has to review it, press the button, and approve it before deployments take place. Even with the AI feature, you always want that particular transition where someone has to manually do it. AI is good and can reduce so many things, but you want to have a fail-safe mechanism. Regarding Adobe ColdFusion's AI capabilities, the learning curve is significant. It is a new AI capability, but it is not currently 100 percent. I would say it is about 60 to 70 percent. The technology with AI is new, and the product should continue to improve. There are always gaps that need to be addressed.

Business processes are automated efficiently with a well-designed interface
There is room for improvement in integrations and customizations for AgilePoint and other low-code, no-code solutions. Additionally, the marketing of such products should be more honest. They often claim to solve all process automation needs, but they only handle problems of certain complexity. AgilePoint cannot handle highly complex processes like ERPs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Adobe ColdFusion improved productivity; when you improve your productivity, you translate that into quicker deployment that saves time and reduces the learning curve, so in real terms, you reduce your deployment time and do not have to spend as much time, meaning productivity is good and you don't waste too much money on costs or have to pay overtime and other expenses, allowing you to reduce those kinds of accelerated costs."
"This tool was very easy learn, yet powerful enough to manage many sites on a single instance."
"We save enormous amounts of time in development using this tool."
"I believe that developing with ColdFusion saved me about 25% time compared to Java and PHP projects."
"No need to import libraries from outside the environment."
"My client has been able to improve productivity with the use of the tool. The solution has them develop several tools that addressed their specific needs. They have become more efficient and safe with the use of the product."
"Adobe ColdFusion has improved development speed and streamlined our internal business processes by saving around 20 hours per week after implementation, which we previously spent with other applications."
"Overall, Adobe ColdFusion has been a very reliable and productive platform for us."
"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."
"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."
"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."
"I like the design and the integration capacity, and it's also easy to use."
"Anytime companies need any solution with workflow, they can base it on AgilePoint, because AgilePoint allows companies to design and implement workflows very fast using the system's interface."
"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."
 

Cons

"Previously when I was trying to create some data, it was very difficult to get real-time data from Workfront."
"ColdFusion’s third-party authentication is currently limited to just a couple of companies, like Google and Facebook, and a few third-party SAML authenticators. From my personal perspective, adding LinkedIn and Microsoft would greatly benefit me."
"In terms of improvement, Adobe ColdFusion is already top-tier in terms of runtime engine for large data and document generation, but I suggest reevaluating the licensing model to shift away from perpetual licenses to more flexible consumption-based licensing models, making it a pay-as-you-use system rather than a flat annual server fee."
"Adobe ColdFusion can be improved by modernizing the development experience, enhancing performance for large-scale applications, and providing more built-in integrations and modern cloud services."
"As a small type of business, I think Adobe ColdFusion is more suited for high-level business time models."
"Overall, Adobe ColdFusion is a good product, but one area in modernization of the ecosystem can be improved."
"My major concern is the fact that Adobe is not actively pushing the development of ColdFusion since they bought Macromedia."
"Adobe ColdFusion can be improved if there was an AI feature integrated through prompt engineering, which would be very helpful, though I have not checked for that in an updated version."
"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."
"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes."
"Technical support is very slow to respond and they need to be quicker in getting back to clients when problems arise."
"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."
"They should add more information about functionality."
"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."
"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is high but it's totally worth the investment."
"If you really want to save money, there is a free open source CFML engine (former Railo, now Lucee) out there."
"It is a very effective solution and worth the price."
"I think the price is reasonable."
"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."
"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
