The ease of handling to implement it in my IT developments in databases for web page development and to implement it securely. It provides me with a very functional kit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The thirty-day trial makes me happy, but I dislike the inaccessible price for the common programmer who works alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love xml features such as grid view and xml data export to relational databases. Ability to validate a file against schema, running xslt to manipulate xml files. I like diff dog compare features and ETL capabilities of map force. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
File compare features can be enhanced. There should be an option to not take into consideration the order of sub elements when comparing two xml files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Altova suite is giving a full brunch of features for both XML, Json, CSV, webservices, DBs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In Mapforce versioning is not an option, and commenting a mapping is not easy: hard to remember why you did something in a complex mapping.
In Mapforce, for some features you need to use the "Mapforce server" (i.e. https webservices /tokens) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that there are so many options and different aspects included in the software suite. I specifically needed the XML editor and this has worked great. It did take a little time and testing to figure out how to do what I needed with the XML editor. It took some trial and error, but I think that is to be expected with a robust software package.

The software required a good amount of RAM on your PC. I had a high powered PC and had to request more to be installed. It also slows all the other processed on my PC while I am using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

XmlSpy Stylevision and Map Force are our preferred tools in mission kit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Too expensive and there is not a Linux version, at least for XmlSpy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If your work requires you to work with xml, this suite of tools is mandatory for you. Define, modify, analyse xsd and xml in xmlspy. If you need to do data transformation via xslt or other, mapforce is what you need. Its drag and drop interface makes it easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been usin these tools for over 8 years, with at least one new version a year. Don't see much in terms of changes accross the versions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the Text,grid,schema and wsdl view. It's really easy to navigate and make changes to the xml content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
