Great experience in server side development
Besides the experience from the numerous middle and large scale custom projects, when started designing IIS Mod-Rewrite we had already collected invaluable experience from our other flagship product "C++ Server Pages". The maturity and stability of this product (no bugs and stability issues reported for more than 2 years) allowed us to reuse all the core code into IIS Mod-Rewrite core engine and bring a new stabile and powerful product from the very first day of its realease.
Development efficiency
The development team uses sophisticated design and development techniques that allow developing robust products in a time efficiency fashion. As a matter of fact, although IIS Mod-Rewrite came late into the play, we were able in only a few months to make it the first product to support mod_rewrite compatible functionality. Six months after the first release, we are proud to announce a product that is superior in both features and quality compare to any other competitive product that has been playing for years.
Apache mod_rewrite compatibility
The most important feature of IIS Mod-Rewrite is undoubtedly the Apache mod_rewrite compatibility which really solves the hands of almost every professional webmaster. Porting such a complicated technology is not an easy task. As described above, we were able to solve all the software engineering workarounds in a very short time. Therefore we had plenty of time to thoroughly and patiently read and examine the original mod_rewrite source code and build an intact port of it, rather than experimentaly design something that looks as if it works alike. 70% of the development time was spent on mod_rewrite compatibility resulting a precisely accurate port of the popular url rewriting tool.
Diagnostics tool and server health and stability
The ultimate proof of quality in IIS Mod-Rewrite is the recently added diagnostics tool. With undestanding and respect to our customers' requirements regarding quality, stability, productivity, and support effectiveness, we have gathered all our diverse knowledge and people's considerations and turned it to a "one-click" troubleshooting solution for almost every technical problem or misconfiguration. The diagnostics tool checks all the factors and all combination of them that may affect the smooth operation of IIS Mod-Rewrite and its interoperability with IIS. The use of the diagnostics tool, not only can drastically speed up the recovery of an urgent trouble case, but can also prevent from potentially undesirable situations before they even appear.
