From Network Computing: "A hefty price tag and some odd quirks and flaws encountered make us question if the total cost of the Cape Clear justifies its functionality and feature set.

Cape Clear's entry is interesting because of its origins: ESB 6.5 didn't evolve from an enterprise service platform, like BEA's AquaLogic and Oracle's SOA Suite did; it didn't grow out of a conventional EAI product, like TIBCO's and Software AG's products did; nor did it bloom from a messaging world, like Sonic's and IBM's products did. Rather, Cape Clear's software came out of a pure Web services world, and its ESB approach reflects these roots as much as its competitors reflect theirs.
