Both technologies do a good job of supporting the requirements of a dynamic site. ColdFusion can generally do the same amount of work as ASP with less code, and is portable to other operating system environments such as Sun Solaris and Linux. However, programmers used to Visual Basic may find ASP more comfortable, and some customers prefer the Microsoft brand. You’ll need to use ColdFusion for at least one page if you intend to process credit card transactions online in real time.
