Well, there's a world of difference between intention and effect. As Daniel Morgan said, you might have approached this in a different way. Perhaps you could start by identifying some criteria by which you wish to compare the products: these might be for example scalability, ease of administration, availability of support staff, cost of licensing and support renewal ..... : perhaps even give your own tentative ratings and invite members of each group to comment on what you've written. Even then you're probably going to generate more heat than light.
