Question

Portal/CMS for ColdFusion?

I'm looking for a prebuilt coldfusion application that meets the following criteria:
  • Can authenticate against ActiveDirectory (pretty much required)
  • Allows employees to have customized personal homepages (pretty much required)
  • Has an interface for the included Graphing and Reporting tools, or is open enough that we could write one ourselves and integrate it (would be very nice)
  • Some kind of easy web-based form creation that doesn't require HTML would be a huge plus.

It would also need to be priced reasonably for enterprise usage (~1100 employees). We don't have any firm dollar amounts, but 6 figures would just get laughed at if we brought it up. We've been looking at Sharepoint Portal + BusinessObjects Enterprise Premium + Business Objects Dashboard or Microsoft ScoreCard Manager

    You are basically looking for a CF version of SharePoint 2007 ( currently in BETA - and part of the MS Office 2007 tech) and to be honest, I don't think such a thing exists yet because most CF devs work on products that will run on any CF based server and not rely solely on MS technologies.

    You may be able to find something that does some of it, and then (if you buy the source) write your own add-ons for things like Windows/AD AUTH etc, but it's doubtful you'll find a CF app currently available that does 100% of that.

    I fail to see how what I've mentioned relies solely on MS technologies, unless you mean the AD thing, and that's effectively built into CF anyway. But thanks for your feedback.

    You may be interested in Ektron's CMS 400 - also Vignette Portal System would work.
