Which MV Platform to use?

We use mvBase extensively, along with Accuterm (GUI). We need to re-platform to another mv product as mvBase is EOL. We were all ready to go down the OpenQM  route, then Rocket aquirred the product and all development seems to have stopped! ( We have been deliberating the move for some time.) We have  looked at jBase and D3.  Rocket are pushing us down the D3 the path. I don't see many posts about D3 improvements, it all appears to be Universe or Unidata.

So my question is, what would be your platform of choice if you were moving away from your current mv version, or are you happy with your current platform for the foreseeable future (5+ years).

Many thanks.

Hello,

You will be happy with both platforms. Universe seems to me to have assets by the principle of the flavor that you can adjust.

Personally, 25 years ago I made the choice of Universe, others have opted for unidata.

Anyway, both evolve together and look more and more alike. The internal engines are almost common, especially since release uv12 and now uv14.

About the learning curve, it can be high if you want to take advantage of all the benefits of the latest developments, especially in terms of 'modern' development.

Universe may be a little more advanced than Unidata for new features.

I hope this help

Thanks Manu, I appreciate your input. I think I need to repost this message in the correct forum. I posted in here by mistake.
