Forrester on Roller

Forrester: As an open source solution, Roller has been deployed only in a few instances, but it has been used by thousands of bloggers on a single installation. It features an excellent ability to allow administrators to manage permissions across blogs, but individual blog management is cumbersome, and robust content management workflow tools are lacking. Roller is ideally suited for companies that want to deploy blogs in an enterprise where content management and oversight will be minimal.

Since I participated in the study, I was able to read the full report, both the Roller report ($795) and the market overview ($995). Roller didn't do so well in the comparison chart (see Charlene Li's post), but we're still ranked as a strong contender -- especially for companies interested in Sun-style trust-your-employees blogging. Overall, I think the report is fair and accurate. I definitely agree that parts of Roller's authoring/admin UI are cumbersome and in need of redesign, but Forrester isn't very specific about the areas that need improvement.
