Embarcadero should revisit their SKU matrix.
Professional SKU is not satisfactory for DB Access, and some basic "Enterprise" software integration SOAP, REST etc
Enterprise SKU is great for DB Access, but lack support for standard enterprise solution. Support for SOAP,REST, Encryption is very weak in native Enterprise SKU, and to offer a solution as good as native competition SKU you have to buy expensive 3rd party library.
.NET offers such wide range of very good written library.
This makes delphi ecosystem expensive.
In Brazil we still have a very large base of Delphi Developers, they need a _good_ Professional SKU as most of them are ISV and don't have budget to buy an enterprise SKU especially if they won't use all the enterprise matrix features.
This is also true for Managers in small companies. They won't spend money on features they won't need/use.
Not an easy solution.
