Surprising to see a Forrester blog about their recent CEP Wave report on the importance of… “unrestricted developer downloads”. Is this topic really more interesting to their customers than CEP tool differentiators like… “multiple Event Processing Languages for multiple styles of CEP”, “support for event-driven managed-decision support”, “distributed event server platform features”, etc etc … or indeed any other functional aspect of “complex event processing”? And is this more of an issue for the CEP tool market than other software tools, one wonders?
Meanwhile, my evil twin ponders on whether “unrestricted developer downloads” might also be desirable for, say, analyst reports … 🙂
