There is a 3rd alternative, Kapow OnDemand ( www.kapow.net)
It gives you all the advantages of openkapow, plus it adds a very nice user, robot and rights management interface. Also it allows for monthly payments to lower the initial cost.
Yeah, onDemand is a good service as well. I think they should make it more popular and accessible.
But it is too primitive. Just rest and RSS output. No proxies, no databases, files etc... That is just like webservice creation.
I would prefer Kpow Web 2.0 edition to Kapow OnDemand.
You are both right. There are also pro's and con's of this version. I don't even know if excel connector is a part of onDemand for example.
I personaly like error tracking ant stats of robots there. It can be done easily by using API and any edition of Kapow server. Kapow Ondemand is generally has web 2.0 edition in background and also has some API based admin area for all.
As soon as it becomes popular it will be very slow as well.
