DotNetNuke > EntitySpaces

*EDITED* Some people associated with EntitySpaces have since placed comments and sent me e-mails regarding this post. As with any web site or blog you, the reader, should make up your own mind about things. Since I admittedly have not done 100% research on EntitySpaces, before you use this or any other product, you indeed should perform 100% research before dedicating your time and/or finances to the product.
In case you do not get the meaning of this blog title, DotNetNuke is greater than EntitySpaces. :)
So, since I use the Google Adsense in my blog and whenever I mention DotNetNuke, EntitySpaces ads appear, please do everyone a favor and DO NOT click on the EntitySpaces ads. If you need an online content management system for you business, intranet, home or family web site - then there is only one choice for the money -DOTNETNUKE! Yes, both DNN and EntitySpaces are free, but DNN has a proven track record and we KNOW that they will be around for a while with support and even better community support.
Don't do what I did. I built my own portal. It took 3 months and then DNN was released with more options. Visit DotNetNuke.com today. :)
That sounded like a commercial. Yuck!

First, in the interest of full disclosure, I am one of the people associated with EntitySpaces. Second, I would like to personally thank you for taking the time and effort to edit your post. Third, we agree that "you indeed should perform 100% research before dedicating your time and/or finances to the product." But, that might be hard for your readers to do if they follow your advice not to click on the EntitySpaces ads.
Our main point of contention was not that the review was unfavorable, but that it was inaccurate. We welcome constructive criticism, but would like to clarify a few points:
1) EntitySpaces is not a content management system. It is a Persistence Layer and Business Objects for Microsoft .NET 2.0. When you visited our site, you may have noticed that we are using DotNetNuke as our portal. We are not in competition with DNN, we are fans. EntitySpaces is not a substitute for DNN. We are, however, recommending it as a replacement for the DNN DAL.
2) EntitySpaces is not free. We do have a free, fully-functional Trial version, as well as, free presentations and source downloads that demonstrate EntitySpaces' capabilities, some of which would be particularly useful to DNN users that are frustrated in their attempts to understand and use the DNN DAL.
3) Our track record has in its roots the very popular dOOdads architecture. EntitySpaces is a port of dOOdads to the .NET 2.0 Framework and has the same lead architect. dOOdads ships with the free MyGeneration code generator and EntitySpaces' templates still use MyGeneration to automatically produce code based on your database's schema. The EntitySpaces code was written from the ground up to take advantage of the .NET 2.0 features. But, the lessons learned from years of feedback on the dOOdads architecture make it much more than the new kid on the block.
This, unapologetically, may sound like a commercial, but we feel it is only fair that your readers be exposed to accurate information... straight from the horse's mouth :-)
