Hi you all!
I've discovered this jabber server recently, just when I was ready for use Jive XMPP Jive Messenger server in my application.
Here I've foun lots of lines talking about the features of this product... The matter is that I wanna know about the misfeatures, limitations and problems this ejabberd has.
Could anybaody tell me about those limitations (even better if comparing with JIVE Messeger).
THank u all!!!

"ejabberd has no
"ejabberd has no authentication and STARTTLS support for connections between servers." (from ) Though, Jive Messenger does not (yet) support s2s at all. :-)
Compared to Jive Messenger (only things where Jive is better in):
* ejabberd is very easy to install, but not as extremely easy as Jive Messenger yet.
* ejabberd's webinterface is probably not as featureful as that of Jive.
* ejabberd's ODBC plugin is not yet tested against all SQL databases that Jive supports (though Mnesia is very nice).
* ejabberd's LDAP integration (especially automatic shared groups with LDAP) is AFAIK not as featureful as that of Jive.
* People are afraid when they hear ejabberd is written in that strange language called Erlang (though this is only a psychologic, marketing misfeature as in fact it is an advantage :-) ) instead of a well-known language like Java.
* ejabberd only has two (I think) payed developers (by Process One), while Jive Messenger has two dedicated developers plus a few others contributing small things (I heard). (though, I read that Erlang has a high programmer productivity)
