title: DevArt's dotConnect for Oracle vs DataDirect's ADO.NET data provider
body: <p>Has anybody done a comparative analysis of dotConnect for Oracle from DevArt and the <a href="http://www.datadirect.com/products/net/net_for_oracle/index.ssp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ADO.NET data provider from DataDirect</a>.</p>
  
  <p>We are thinking of using the Entity Framework support available in these frameworks for a critical enterprise application. Some articles that I read suggest the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>DevArt dotConnect is much faster as compared to DataDirect</li>
  <li>DataDirect license is more expensive that the DevArt license</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><strong>Can anybody throw more light on the technical aspects so as to aid the decision making process?</strong></p>
