I downloaded their single-tier driver for testing in my environment. I managed
to find a bug with sending queries to the back-end that they've been working on
for a month now. I don't know if its because I'm not a paying customer yet, but
this bug has been in development for a looong time for such an expensive
product. I would be cautious about spending that kind of dough (at least on
their single-tier product) on this product unless you can get response
timelines in writing, eh?

Its priced per concurrent connection, so get ready to really pay if you need
the "unlimited connections" driver. It not so bad if you only need 5 concurrent
connections. :)
