    dotConnect for MySQL is suitable if you work with .net technologies and frameworks to develop applications but do not want to use SQL Server. This is a very common scenario and the Express edition can solve this problem if you need only basic connectivity features. If high performance is a crucial requirement for you, it may be a real concern. Maybe paid editions can deliver better performance, but you will need to deal with relevant costs.

    Frrole is well suited when brand tracking on a social platform is required. If a brand performs really well on saliency, then the social buzz movement helps in comparing those data points. However, Affinity perceptions sometimes do give a mix of words that happens to be irrelevant with the given set of queries. It reads and captures comments basis on which Affinity word cloud is generated. The scope of opportunity to enhance it further on the basis of specific keywords would be an advantage.

    We had been using an outsourced company for such projects until we decided to hire our own team and do all of this DB work in-house. So this was our first year of experience with this product. So far, we're very pleased, as are our clients.
