Folks,

We started using Code On Time a little over two weeks ago, primarily to generate an add-on application around a very complex SQL database. The process for choosing our code generator started about three months ago. We conducted a massive search that for one terminating reason or another narrowed us down to a handful of generators which included IronSpeed Designer, Code Charge Studio, Code On Time, and a few other generators. As some of the generators mentioned do not offer a fully functional unrestricted trial version, we even bought full licenses for some of them. Our selection criteria dictated that the generator had be capable of generating tight and well written ASP.NET AJAX enabled code that can be further developed in Visual Studio, as necessary. The generator needed to provide far more than the basic CRUD, so it needed to be feature-rich and flexible. It needed to provide a reasonable EULA and license activation and maintenance requirements. Probably above all, it needed to have the backing of a responsive and knowledgeable support team that will meet our needs within our time frame, particularly when you consider our tight deadlines.

I must confess, we almost passed Code On Time over, with the irony being that our reason for almost passing it over was ultimately one of the reasons we selected it as our code generator of choice. It generated a deceptively simple-looking application. While it might be simple-looking, and simple for end users to use, the sample application it generated, upon further scrutiny, was far from simple. It generated a well constructed application that was crisp-looking, had the web 2.0 look and feel, packed a lot of features, all without sacrificing the simple-looking interface that users would find comfortable. The generator ran smoothly under Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 (even 64-bit) as a development environment. Another reason we almost passed you folks over is your licensing cost. We had a hard time believing that a product can be any good at a grand total of $278 per annual seat or even the $900 per annual unlimited users.

But even the price was not the best part. We were still simultaneously evaluating another serious contender. We requested a quote for some custom code that would speed our development efforts a bit from both Code On Time and your competition. As you know, we got the quote, you delivered the code in three days - along with some product enhancement that we were not even expecting. Two weeks later, we are still waiting for your competitor to give us a quote. On another occasion, we were working on Sunday and we had some questions that we asked in an email. To our surprise we received an answer on the same day, and within like half an hour. Our experience with the folks at Code On time, every time we needed support, has been nothing short of awesome. All in all, Code On time effortlessly measures up to products ten times its cost in feature strength, in flexibility, in generated product look and feel, and best of all, it far surpasses its competition in support.

We really appreciate your efforts, your product, your support, and your innovation.

Thank you
