Steve Graves of NewsBytes looked at two HTML/XML enterprise-level tools geared to teams of developers: Adobe GoLive 5.0 and Macromedia's Dreamweaver UltraDev 4.0. He found that "Two others in the review, Microsoft FrontPage 2000 and NetObjects Fusion MX, better suit offices that want to design their own site but don't have a full-time Web manager."

Among his comments: "You wouldn't want to work on an Allaire [now Macromedia] ColdFusion application with the GoLive editor, but you can integrate ColdFusion, JavaServer Pages and XML pages with confidence that the code will survive. ... GoLive is more versatile and more complex than Dreamweaver UltraDev." On the other hand: "I love Dreamweaver UltraDev 4.0. It has all of Dreamweaver's features plus powerful tools for dynamic content and database applications." He also likes Macromedia's support model and UltraDev's flexibility: "When an Open Database Connectivity error occurred, I left a message on Macromedia's Web site and got four responses from UltraDev users within an hour. ... In the meantime, I located the suggested fixes in the knowledge base, changed server permissions and everything worked fine. ? UltraDev developers can write apps in ColdFusion, ASP or JSP. For tweaking or hand-coding, Macromedia throws in Homesite, my favorite text-editing tool ? ."
